I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...

It continued to snow all Christmas Eve afternoon, and actually started sticking to the ground!

You can really see it coming down in this picture as Avery & Daddy get bundled up to go play in the snow...

there was even enought to build this tiny snowman...

and here is what our house looked like Christmas morning...

it really was a white Christmas!!!

A new challenge for 2010...

Now I just have to figure out what I am going to make!

Merry Christmas!!!

What a difference a year makes...

Last year she was still a baby...

this year she is definitely a little girl!

They sure do grow fast!!!

trains, trains...and dinosaurs!

Here is a peek at some of the things we have been doing this holiday season...

Sunday, December 13th - The North Pole Express in her PJ's and ready to go

doing a little dancing during the musical part of the show

finally...on the train!

she loved looking out the window and seeing everything going by

this is definitely on our list of things to do again next year!!!


Friday, December 18th - The trains at North Park

we met our friends Dena & Hudson to look at the trains

Avery LOVES trains right now, so this too was a huge hit!!

Avery & Hudson checking things out

looking at all the trains with Mommy

back to explore the mall...before getting a little lunch

Monday, December 21st - The Heard Natural Science Museum Dinosaurs Alive! Exhibit
today we met Dena & Hudson and Leslie & Griffin

to explore the dinosaur exhibit...

we weren't sure how the kids would like it

Griffin & Hudson were both scared of the dinosaurs

(who moved and roared)...

guess who wasn't???

Avery, of course!

Hope you have been enjoying your holiday season too!!!

Thanksgiving

We like to start out every Thanksgiving by heading to downtown Dallas and meeting up with a group of friends to do the Turkey Trot...

Then we headed home where we were hosting Thanksgiving

at our house {for the first time!} this year...

that's a large crowd to feed

{and that's not everyone!}

Here's a peek at my Thanksgiving table:

and of course the dessert table:
