I'm dreaming...

...of a white Christmas! And it's here!!!! It started sleeting and snowing here today about 1:00 and we are under a blizzard watch until tomorrow. The boys have begged all day to play in the snow so I bundled them up and out we went.

Our First Gingerbread House

This weekend the boys decorated their 1st gingerbread house. They had a great time BUT next year I will buy 2 so they will each have their own. Austin wanted everything to be put on perfect and Kamden was sticking things everywhere (the pieces he wasn't eating). After a few fights we figured out that Austin should do the icing and Kamden do the 'sticking'. All in all, the finished product looked pretty good. By the way, the LSU face paint came from church Friday night. We had an outreach event for needy families to come and get presents, coats, haircuts, and family photos. We helped with it and the boys got to participate in some of the children's activites.

Christmas time is so much fun!

Here he is:
A couple of weeks ago Santa sent Austin & Kamden a gift. It was a 'scout' elf that watches and reports to Santa every night about the boys and whether they have been good or bad. After he returns from his nightly trip to the North Pole, he finds a new spot to sit in the house so he can watch closely. He is magic and if anyone touches him he will lose his magic. This new tradition has been SO much fun for all of us! Every morning it is a race to see who can find Norman first. By the way, you get to name your elf whatever you want so Austin came up with the name Norman and I have to say I think it fits him pretty well. The first week we got him Kamden and I went to Wal-mart and Kamden told the greeter ALL about Norman. This week the same greeter was working and he remembered Kamden (& Norman) so they a nice little conversation about Norman.


The other night, we went to H&P's family Christams party; it was at the Tulsa Air & Space Museum. The boys had a great time and can't wait to go back. We got to see Santa and go to the Planetarium plus do & see all the cool things at the museum. Here are a few of our pictures. Kamden the Astronaut

Christmas Train

Last Friday night, we went to the Christmas Train. It reminded me of a miniature Silver Dollar City. It was a really neat place. However, it was 19 degrees!!! And most everything was outside. We rode the train, got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus.






Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving. We were so glad Nonnie, Nanny, MiMi, Maw Maw and Paw Paw came to visit. We had a great time. Zeke really liked Paw Paw Teet, as you will see in the pictures!



Keep checking back over the next few days, I plan to update and post some more pictures.
