Last year was our first Christmas in Texas... but were up to our chin in moving boxes, had no idea where anything was, and spent Christmas in California with my family. This year, we stayed home! Again, sad not to be with family on a holiday... however, we lucked out by getting a WHITE CHRISTMAS! :) We even made a snowman! :)
Let's start this post with a nice picture of "The Christmas Card Project"...uhhh it was fun, but glad they are done and mailed off! :)
We bought a live tree... all the way from Oregon! Special order just for us! :) Well, not really... as most Christmas trees come from Oregon... 'The Christmas Tree State". :)
It snowed most of Christmas Eve... and snow was still on the ground this morning when we woke up!
The yellow rose of Texas... evidence that it has been warm enough for a rose to grow... and now cold enough for snow!
Nothing like Utah or Tahoe snow... but it's snow! :)
Pretty window snow!
We went to wake up DJ since it was after 9am! He started telling us a completely non-understandable story... he was so excited as if he knew it was a special day! :)
We took him downstairs to where the Christmas tree and gifts were... he made a B-LINE for his new Barnyard Door toy! Thanks Grandma Kurtz!
Quickly came a big smile when he saw the LIGHT SWITCH!! He ALWAYS asks us to turn ON the lights. We pick him up so that he can do it himself!
He loved the barnyard door soo much... that he sat in it while opening other gifts!
Books! A BIG HIT! :)
Don got DJ his own remote... for reasons you can probably guess... in addition to our remote being on it's last leg from getting dropped too many times from the 2nd story down to the 1st story BY... DJ! I'm about to put plastic wrap around all the banisters upstairs to prevent future 'DJ bombings'! LOL LITTLE did we know that remotes also double as phones!
One of DJ's first words was socks... and he wanted to put the 'socks' on his feet!
He completes his festive ensamble with a coordinating hat!
All bundled up to go play in the SNOW! :)
DJ wasn't too sure of the snow at first... he stood still in one place until I took him by the hand and led him through ALL 1 inch of snow! :)
I showed him how to eat the snow!
Don built a snowman...
Sweet DJ has learned how to give hugs and pat you on your back... Snowman's turn!
Mr. Snowman is fearing for his life with a little ankle-biter so close with a shovel in hand!
Rightly so... poor guy lost his nose!
Don moved Mr. Snowman to the front yard that stays in the shade most of the day... he's still standing! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
