Morgan putting presents under the tree
On Christmas Eve a blizzard blew through! I tried to take video of it, but it is close to impossible to video tape a blizzard... Just imagine a bunch of snow coming down & then whipping through the air like a million small tornadoes!
These are the pictures of the next morning. The girls went out and played for a few minutes with Daddy. They even made a tiny snowman.
checking inside the house to see if there are any small people
The girls think this guy is really this tall. LOL!!
Look, it's the Texas Santa Claus!
A gingerbread house made of real food! Yummy!!!
Doesn't it look delicious? 
Santa's toy factory- We had to check out the naughty and nice list :0)
My mom and dad treated all of their area children & grandchildren to check out ICE at Gaylord Texan. The theme was How the Grinch Stole Christmas. There was so much to see and do! Everyone had fun, and it brought the Christmas spirit. We got to spend time with Grandma Leslie, Grandpa Lyale, Uncle Bryan, Aunt Amy, James & Paige.
Next Christmas will be bittersweet- all 3 of my brothers will be far away! Bryan is 2 years younger than I, and he and his family live about 20 miles away from us now- They are moving up north to Illinois. Jeff and his family (he is 5 years younger than I) have been in California for almost 4 years now. And, the baby of the family, Kevin (we are 14 years apart) is away in Washington state!
