The Boys

Henry and Anderson playing in the tunnel that Henry got from Santa. It was actually pretty fun to play in. I could fit in it, but Chris couldn't!

Winter Fun

We went sledding a little while ago and it was so cold! We only made it down twice before retreating to the truck for hot chocolate!

Crafts and Decorations

These are the crafts I made this year at my ward's Super Saturday. I love them!

The stocking board - my favorite.

Getting Ready

Just one more post for today, and then I'd better save some pictures if I want to keep posting. These pictures are from when we set up our tree and put all the decorations out. I made pizza while Chris set up the tree and then we decorated while watching The Grinch (the cartoon). Also something becoming a tradition.

I'll post more pictures of the finished product later.

Gingerbread House

As per traditon, for family home evening 2 weeks ago we decorated our Gingerbread House (not real gingerbread, but graham crackers!)
I'd say it was a success. We just keep getting better in my opinion.

Woo Hoo Christmas

OK - so I realize it's been well over a month since my last post. I think this was one of my busiest semesters ever, especially the last month when I was student teaching. So that explains the lack of posting up until 2 weeks ago, and since then I have just been recouperating. But I've made a New Years resolution to post more, and I'm going to get started a littler earlier.

We spent Christmas with Chris' family in Beaumont. I think Chris had time playing with his brother (video games that is) and it was fun having kids around for opening gifts.

Here's what the tree at our place looked like after we brought all our presents home. We definitly did well - must have been good this year!

Chris showing off his new leather/suede jacket - very handsome. And of course Rock Band!

Excited about Christmas - or that its over and we can relax and play with our toys!
