Snow??

I'm not sure if this counts as snow but this is what we woke up to this morning, a wintry mix of sleet & snow on the houses and cars.
Micah thought it was so strange to drive the car while the ice was still on there.
We couldn't wait around for it to melt!

The houses across the sreet with their snow covered tops.

Christmas lights

I am so excited that it's finally Christmas time, I love all the lights and decorations. Well, most of the decorations but I would love to find out why so many think decorating is throwing lights on their house whether they look good or actually fit on the house. We have neighbors that literally have a ball of lights sitting on their roof because they ran out of roof line to put the lights on. The strand just goes to the end of the gable and then piles on the roof in a ball...seriously??


I'm lucky, Zac lives for Christmas lights and he was crazy enough this year to decorate our house, the entire front elevation! I think the top gables are actually a 3rd story! He did confess after finishing that next year he'll figure out how to anchor himself for safety! I'm going to try to take a few more pictures but you get the idea!

Here is the front of the house.

Here is backyard with the finished deck, stained and with a cover that's not showing. The lights are awesome in the evenings.

And last....here are the stockings hung on the mantel. Ignore the toys at the bottom of the picture!

Pictures

I am finally updating a few pictures. We've been very busy the past few weeks, as always. We were in Dallas for the week before Thanksgiving and then brought Zac's mom home with us to celebrate. Zac's dad got here on Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful meal and fun just spending time together.

My parents have a gator for the kids to drive while they're visiting. This visit, Emmie realized she is just barely tall enough to push the pedal and make it go. Micah is just crazy enough to ride in the back while she drives.



Here is my cute little dainty girl eating her donut!

For some unknown reason, my kids love to play in my mom's closet under her stairs. They were trying to get to the back to play with the baby swing. My mom says the closet was just organized but I am just not seeing it! I guess I should keep my kids out of there or lose them!
Here is Emmie showing my mom things in a toy catalog. She demanded to sit on this chair in their kitchen and then wanted to be covered with a blanket and read. She choose the toy catalog and when to pointing...I think we already have what she's choosing!




We took a quick family picture this weekend.


Here are the kids vandalizing my Christmas tree.


One guilty kid still holding the evidence!
