Christmas Day

Kris parents drove from Midland to see us Christmas day. They had a long drive, but Carter was happy to see them! Once again, I just got a few not so great pictures!

Christmas Eve with the family

We had a really nice Christmas Eve with my family...the only problem is that I only have two pictures to prove it. Pretty sad I know. We met my mom, dad and brothers for dinner and then went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Then we came back to my parents house for presents. We had such a nice time and I'm sad I didn't document it better.

Here is Austin with his Krammer shirt from Colt.

and Carter with his "hook em horns" shirt from Cody and Austin. I got an awesome UT Snuggie from my brothers that I am having to fight for between the Carter and the dogs. Our drive home was SO scary. The 5 mile drive took us an hour with cars sliding everywhere. Luckily Kris' Expedition has 4 wheel drive and we made it safely home!

Carter wrote a letter to Santa

for just one thing
and he was so excited to get it!

Snow!

On Christmas Eve it snowed! At first I didn't think it would stick, but then it snowed all day long. It was such a surprise since it was in the seventies the day before. Carter was SO excited, but we only stayed out a little while becasue it was sooooooo cold! All bundled up!

Santa!

Carter and I met Shawna, Corbin, Gage, Joey, Lincoln, Erica, Emma and Ella at Northpark. Our plan was to listen to Santa's story time, get a picture with Santa, see the trains and eat at Chuys......well we only got to do 2 of the 4 things because it was CRAZY ccrowded!! I got there at 9:40 to get a number for Santa and they told me I could come back at 6:30....no kidding, they started giving numbers out at 9. So Carter and I sercured a good spot for stortytime, which was really neat. We then headed to the trains where the line was forever log, so we gave up and headed to Chuys for a yummy lunch.

Emma and Ella loved it!

Carter and the girls at lunch. With all the craziness I only got these pictures, pretty pathetic! Afterwards Erica and I took our kids shopping at Northpark. It was a madhouse! At one point (at Build a Bear- which was insanely crowded) I thought Erica was going to have a nervous breakdown! We learned our lesson...never go to the mall on Christmas Eve-Eve!

All Aboard the North Pole Express!

Carter and I joined my mom, Colt, Erica, Caden, Carson, Emma and Ella for a ride on theNorth Pole Express. All the kids were SO excited!

The crew ready to go. Erica and I bought the little ones matching pjs on our Austin trip. My mom found these cute shirts for the big boys.



So excited!

School Christmas Program and Party

I took them morning off to watch Carter sing at his school program and go to his party. I was a little worried that he was going to get upset when he saw me at the program, but he did a great job! I didn't get very good pictures because there were so many other parents in my way!
