Snow Days

No snowmen or snowball fights in this, mostly ice, but it makes for some good sledding!

Trimming the Tree & the Trains

Happy Birthday Part 2

 Part 2 of celebrating for Tyler was meeting the Grahams in College Station for a visit to Santa's Wonderland. We enjoyed a hayride for the lights, hot chocolate, funnel cakes and lots of other general merriment. As always this crowd could have fun in an empty barn. They love being together, and I love that so much.

Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving was in McKinney this year. We had a great couple of days there. We enjoyed a big crowd of family on Thanksgiving day, a beautiful meal, some football, some fishing (???), and ended the day decorating mom and dad's tree. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Tyler - Part I

In lieu of a traditionaly party, Tyler had two big outings that made up her birthday. Before Thanksgiving she got to go with Honey and Gran for lunch at the American Girl Cafe and shopping at the store. They put your little doll at the table and bring her a little cup - so cute. And then serve really fun things like melting snowman milkshakes and cookies and milk on tiny doilies. So cute. She had a great, fun day!

Halloween

 This year we had a gymnast and Anakin Skywalker. Our awesome friends the football players and their little brother the football : ) came to enjoy the evening with us. We love doing this with them. It has become one of our favorite traditions! We got a visit from this cutie little Batman and strawberry. He kept saying, "It's just me - Riley!".

Pumpkin Carving

 We love us some carving around here, and our school always has a day off right around Halloween that gives us the perfect time to do it. And now everyone is big enough to scoop and carve their own!
