krispy kreme & christmas fun

>> Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Because of the yucky virus & beautiful snow, we postponed Christmas with my family until the week after.  It was fun to be together and open gifts at Longhorn!  No cooking, no cleaning, and we got to embarrass my brother by making a scene with our gifts.  After a yummy dinner, we headed to Krispy Kreme for dessert.  This places makes me so incredibly happy & even better when you're with good company.

grandpa's shoes

>> Monday, December 27, 2010

My dad avoided our germs on Christmas as well....and he was knee deep in snow!  I love that he is closer now and can hop on over for a visit.  We put on a pot of chili and stayed warm inside a few days after Christmas.  Ever since Davis was born, my dad's signature gift was a pair of new shoes for every holiday.  He still keeps up the tradition and the kids love it.  And so do I!  We hunt Zappos.com for the perfect pair each birthday and christmas.  I love that the kid's expect shoes from him.... Grandpa's shoes are always special. 

Both kids got new Crocs this year!  They love them so much.

a white christmas

The day after Christmas, we picked the kids up and took them sledding over at Shad's house.  They had a blast with their cousins and Shad had more energy than we did so he could make it really fun for the kids.  Here are some snapshots from their awesome day!  







These sweet faces may not see snow on Christmas anytime soon...

was it Christmas?

>> Saturday, December 25, 2010

I'm very sad to say that we have zero pictures of our precious children on Christmas morning. I really don't even remember them doing their Santa thing.... it was quite pathetic.  Shane & I had a nasty stomach virus that the children had earlier in the week.  My sweet mama came up anyways to see the kids and rescue their parents.  We stayed in the bed most of the day and watched the snow fall from our windows.  Mimi & Papa came and go the kids that afternoon for a sleepover....thank the good lord.  We woke up feeling SO much better the next day so we could take them sledding. 
One cute story that I DO remember...  Davis woke up at 3:30 am and came to my room to tell me that Santa had been there.  I was woozy and shewed him back to his bed quickly.  He cried & cried...and when I asked him what was wrong he said that Santa had forgotten to eat his cookies.  Opps.  I told him Santa was probably still there, so he'd better hurry up and go back to sleep.  It worked and Santa quickly threw away the cookies before she, oh I mean He, got sick again. 
Here are the two top picks for this Christmas.  They love their new bikes, too, but have yet had the opportunity to ride them.  I have a feeling they'll be the favorite gift in the Spring! 
Carson's dollhouse.  Santa got it for a steal, although it's a little over the top.  She LOVES it so much.  She could play in her room for hours. 
Davis loves his Ironman mask that his Nana gave him.  I don't love that stuff, but whatever... he thinks it's pretty snazzy.  
It really was a wonderful Christmas...well, leading up to the special day was fun!  Seeing it through their eyes truly is so magical.

gingerbread mansions

>> Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Aunt Shannon had Davis over last year to decorate Gingerbread Houses.  They had so much fun that she decided to do it again....and even let sister and I tag along.  They had a blast with those annoying little gingerbread (halloween!) mansions!  As much candy went into their mouths as did on the houses.  The kids loved being together mostly...
