Christmas Ski Trip 2016

We stopped in Canyon on the way and opened presents.  I got this snazzy Aggie jersey.  We also got a GoPro that we used while we were skiing.

When we got to the mountains, Nathan was showing Aylah the runs he wanted to ski.

All the girls bundled up while we waited for the house to warm up

Here are my ski bunnies

Traditional selfie on the lift

And our tradition of lunch on the mountain

We were tight on space on the way back, so uncle William rode in the back

We did some sledding at the house

 

 

One day Jennifer, William and I went to Taos to ski.  A few years back when we hiked Wheeler, we caught a ride on the way back to our car from the owner of the Bavarian.  At the time we promised we would come back and drink a beer one day, so we were glad to be able to fulfill our promise.

 

The kids did some hot-tubbing while we were gone

We had our hands full with this crew

Notice that Hannah has her pose down

One last picture with all the cousins.  Notice that Ruby likes the snow but Charlotte does not.

Christmas at Home 2016

We went to Christmas Eve services at church.  I had to work all three services, so Jennifer brought the kids.  Here they are all dressed up.  It was warm (70 degrees) this year.

After church we went to look at Christmas lights, then we came home and put out some reindeer food

The next morning we opened presents

And we took our traditional picture by the fireplace

Then we had some coffee cake and played with our new gifts.  Later that morning we took down our Christmas decorations (our tree was out on the curb by 9am).  Then we packed up and headed out for our ski trip.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Christmas Happenings

As always, we had a busy Christmas season.  Here are some of the fun things we did.

We spent several evenings by the fire in our pajamas

We wrote letters to Santa at the library

One weekend Mimi and O came to visit with Aunt Becca and her crew.  We had a big time!

We started the weekend with gingerbread houses

Then we had a big dinner

And opened presents

Mama Jo came over to watch Hannah sing at church and we got a group photo. This was the best we could do.

Hannah sang “This Litle Light of Mine” for the whole congregation at church.

 

Next we had our work Christmas party at Main Event.  The kids loved it!

I’m not sure who these characters are

They also loved the games.  I think this was their first time to play at an arcade.

They loved swiping their cards in the machines, even if they didn’t play.

One night a fireman Santa made a trip through the neighborhood (right at bedtime).  Nathan was the only one awake so he went out to visit.

Here are our handsome boys in their Christmas shirts

We had some Christmas parties at school

We made some cookies for our neighbors

We served a meal at Beautiful Feet, a soup kitchen in Fort Worth.

Afterwards, we went downtown to see the big tree

Then we did some shopping at H&M.  I found these mannequins in the corner

We went over to Dallas one day to visit Mama Jo

And GG and Jeaning came to visit one morning

We also had these pesky little elves hanging around the house
