ICE!

Last week, Mike's company Christmas party was at the Gaylord Texan.  We were able to go and enjoy a delicious meal, a glass of wine (beer for Mike) then we slipped out to attend ICE!.  We attended a few years ago with some friends but decided to go back ourselves since we were able to get cheap tickets.  Enjoy!

On 3 Wheels

For a year, Mikaela has had a tricycle (that she got last Christmas), but has had very little opportunity to ride due to busy parents, a little brother, uncooperative weather, carpet in 90% of the house, excuses, excuses, excuses.  So, today Daddy backed the cars out of the garage to have space to work on a project and brought the tricycle out for Mikaela.  Here's what she did:

Musical Concert

A Visit to the North Pole

In an effort to beat the crowds, we went to see Santa prior to Thanksgiving.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!  May Jesus be the reason for your season!

Ice Storm 2013

We've hunkered down for the duration, having the supplies we need, including electricity which I know many have been without.  Mike ventured out for a few shots.  Here's what's around our house.

It's pretty, until you think about the fact that it's hard, slippery ice, not soft, powdery snow.  Stay warm and safe everyone!

Nicholas' First Thanksgiving

He did try a few foods, but those pictures are on Graemma's camera so I haven't gotten them yet.  Here's what we took.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Exciting News... or Not...

Mommy:  Guess what?
Mikaela: What?
Mommy: I love you.
Mikaela:  Mom, that's not very exciting.
