We had our 1st Christmas for the year at the Ranch the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This is everyones year to spend with the other sides of their families on Christmas, but we all still celebrate on another day together.
Mimi had a delicious meal of enchiladas-yummy!
Parker is ADORABLE!!!!
Lyndon shared his 3DS with little Cody.
We had lots of visiting and family time!
Mimi & PawPawbought the boys LEgos and it didn't take long before they began building.
The GIRLS Christmas exchange.
Trying to decide WHERE to celebrate Mimi's Birthday Girl Trip....
I LOVE Christmas time!! We have so MANY things to be thankful for as we are a BLESSED family.
Is this ridiculous? I am thinking that it is especially for our small little home. This is all of our Christmas decorations. I did sort through things this year. I have been in a 'Less is More' mood for over a year so it was time to purge.
I took my 1st ever personal day to stay home and get things accomplished. It was a WONDERFUL day & I could use a day like that monthly for sure. I had plans to hit the ground running as soon as I dropped Lyndon off at school, but Mother Nature had a surprise for us......
our 1st Snow of the season. It was beautiful & school was delayed, which meant I spent until 10:00 playing in the snow & building a snowman with Lyndon. It was a lot of fun!
The snow was perfect for a snowman!
On Wednesday Lyndon competed in the U.I.L. Academic Meet. I was a nervous wreck all day-it was his first year and I worried about him getting lost! He had great sponsors who kept me informed throughout the day & made sure he made his way to each meet. Lyndon participated in Spelling and was the alternate in Music Memory for 3rd grade. I was very proud of him. It was definitely an experience for him. His spelling test was on the computer, which was a surprise to both he and I.
