Bowling

Our Sunday School class went bowling this past weekend and the boys had a blast! Here are some pictures of the big night out...

Tree Frog

Jake discovered climbing trees at Cookie & Papa's house and was quite the fan! Here are some pictures of our little tree frog....

Jump, jump

The boys got a new trampoline for Christmas from Cookie & Papa. They are LOVING it! I always had a trampoline growing up and have so many happy memories from it, so it's fun to see them enjoying there's. Here are a few pictures from the first day when Daddy was putting it together (it does have an enclosure on it now!).

Snowman

When we got to Cookie & Papa's house, they still had quite a bit of snow on the ground. That was probably the most snow the boys have ever seen. They had a blast playing in the snow and building a snowman (mom helped build the snowman, dad was busy watching the Aggies get beat, so it's a little scrawny, but the boys were happy!).

Christmas with the Browns

We headed to Cookie & Papa's house over New Year's and celebrated Christmas with them. Here are some pictures from our celebration...

Christmas Morning

We were home all day on Christmas and it was GREAT!! The boys slept until 9:30 (too many late nights and missed naps) that morning. Jake woke up first and didn't wake anyone else up, just started rummaging through his toys. We saw what Santa brought, opened gifts and the boys were so happy playing with their new toys all day! They also went outside and played in the snow! It was a fun, fun day!!
Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk

Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve. Justin was off and we got to hang out together all day, go to Christmas Eve services at church, eat some yummy coconut shrimp for dinner, open our Christmas pj's and bake/decorate some cookies for Santa. It even began snowing on Christmas Eve and gave us a white Christmas!

p.s. These pix are out of order......sorry!
