Happy New Year!


I have so many pictures from Christmas and the fun adventures we had with family.  It's a little overwhelming how far behind I am!  I'm even late to be saying Happy New Year, I guess?

On Christmas Eve, we went to church then came home and opened presents from Nana and Poppa and Mommy and Daddy.  The two big ones were a bike for Allie from Nana and Poppa and a basketball goal for the boys.  I usually do Christmas jammie pictures much earlier, but this year I waited until the last minute!  This was right before bed!



Spence had been saving this gingerbread man for Santa for about two weeks.  He added some crackers and a vitamin.  And a note to make sure Santa had actually been there.


Allie loved riding her new pink bike!  She got almost to the street corner when I realized we hadn't told her how the brakes work.  I took off running and caught her right before she went off the curb into the street!  After a lesson on how to apply the brakes, we had a lesson on the best way to crash:  fall toward the grass, not the concrete!

Close call!
 On Christmas day, Daddy and the kids went to pick up Grandpa and Grandma from the airport.  They love to ride the "train."

We've gotten lots of entertainment from the basketball hoop!  Coleman will even go out and shoot baskets by himself sometimes.

The guys got tickets to a bowl game at Reliant through the Boy Scouts.  While they had guys' night at the stadium, Grandma, Allie, and I went shopping and ate at Chili's.  It was a fun girls' night!


This Christmas was really cold!  We tried to find a good weather day to head to Sea World before our tickets expired.  The Saturday after Christmas was pretty cold, but we bundled up and went to San Antonio.  It was super fun to have Grandpa and Grandma there with us!  We enjoyed several shows, including one that introduced the new baby killer whale!  


 


Lucy also made the trip for Christmas!  It was fun to have the dogs back together again.  Aw, our first furry babies.

The kids always have a blast with Grandma and Grandpa.  We had fun outings, lots of cuddling, and, well, I'm not sure what this is!  But it looks fun!
