Christmas Book Exchange

Every year our dear friend Christy & Luke host a book exchange. This year, Nicholas was very excited to go because he is learning how to read. We enjoyed our friends, hot cocoa and snacks and of course playing Star Wars with all the boys! We love adding to our library and of course all the great Christmas books are wonderful. And he loves to read!

A visit to Santa

The boys went to visit Santa yesterday at a quaint little toy store here in Kingwood (On the Park). A real life Santa visits every year and donates his time & money for good causes.

This year, Gabriel ran right up to him and showed him his Buzz (B) Lightyear. I figured he would be balling like last year, but not this time. He saw how brave Nicholas was and followed big brother right up to sit in his lap.

For a couple of weeks now, Gabriel has been a pain in the rump every morning while trying to get out the door to school. Nicholas told him that if he didn't behave, Santa was going to bring him a bag of "rocks" for under the tree. Yesterday, as I was busy paying Santa's elf, I looked over and saw Gabriel having a long conversation with his new best friend, Santa. This sweet little conversation between them both was priceless. I have no idea what was said, nor do I know if Santa understood every word, but I did catch a line that Gabriel did say. It was this classic line that I will never forget, "here is my B, and no rocks please!" It was the sweetest thing and I think inspite of all those mornings I was cursing under my breath for him to cooperate, that Santa will bring him those presents after all.....Merry Christmas my little boys!

Happy Birthday Nicholas!

Nicholas turned 6 on November 25th- but his party was at Chuck E. Cheese a weekend before that. He had 16 boys and girls there and had a blast!! Lots of tokens, pizza and presents! The day finished with a trip to the movies with his best friend Grant to see the movie Bolt. I love you little Nicklebee! Happy Birthday big boy!

Thanksgiving weekend....

This is long overdue!! But here are some pics of the time we spent in Dallas. My brother Bo and his family (stefanie & mackenzie) joined us all in Dallas for some well deserved family time. The kids had fun playing with the football, remote controlled cars and just laughing at one another.

Snow in Kingwood!!

Yes, you read it right! We had snow Wed night !! Real snow..I mean it stuck to the ground! Look at the pics..the boys really had a great time throwing snowballs at me and my friends.
