Christmas -- continued



The final hours of our Christmas break are coming to a close and it's time to get back in the swing of things around here -- and none too soon if you ask me! But before we move out of the holiday season, here are a few more updates from the rest of our trip and festivities.

There was more snow! And more, and more, and they got hit with even more after we left. It was quite a sight. It did warm up enough to go and play a little more before we left.

Here's Jess showing us the massive pile/drift at the end of her street. We of course climbed it when we got there -- Todd had never seen so much snow!



A cute pic of my Texas boys -- I don't think they knew what to think, but they are still smiling!



On Monday we were able to get out and meet our friends Andy and Nicole for dinner -- yeah! They have twins that are just a few months older than Will, so it's always an interesting dinner with three toddlers. They were all very well behaved considering we were attempting to contain them at the table. And we always have to try and get a picture together...



Once we got back to town Todd and I put a call in to Santa's people and let them know Will was home. Santa brought a little something by while Will was at Miss Wanda's house on Wednesday. We'll try and get some video of his skills up for you to see -- don't reserve your basketball tickets quite yet...I think he got ALL of his parents skills at the game. :(





Then of course we had to watch the Nebraska game! Here are my guys sporting their jerseys -- Will now has one compliments of Grandpa. :)



On New Year's Day we got together with the Tones crew to celebrate once everyone was in town and available. As always, the challenge of the evening was to try and get a pic of the boys together -- hah! Although we did get a little closer...



Here they are trying out their new (adorable!) rocking chairs from Nana and Grandpa...



Apparently Uncle Craig had the inside track on Will and what he wanted this year -- here he is sporting his new Astros shirt he insisted on putting on immediately along with his fancy new toolbelt (complete with safety goggles). Nice work Craig!



And here is the true story of the evening -- empty toddler chairs. They were much to busy chasing each other, the dog, or anyone else that would get in the action. Whew!
