White Christmas

Our little Christmas here before we left to visit family in Plano....

 

 

Lots of monster trucks!

Take-apart human body captured everyone's attention!

She was super excited to get books!  Secret Garden and Alice in Wonderland.

 

 

 

Sweet note from Caleb with a bible verse on it

 Christmas in Plano turned out to be a White Christmas!  Just perfect.  Here are many favorite pictures of our week visiting!

Visiting my dad at my sister's new place. 

Meeting my new niece, Tenley.

These pictures out in the leaves were from the day before Christmas...

A bunch of monkeys!

It's starting to snow!!!

 

Building a huge snowman...starting rolling the bottom parts at the end of the street....

 

 

 

 

Eating snow ice cream

Warming our wet clothes

Making gingerbread cookies

Our annual Christmas Eve dinner - adult-only fondue...so good!

 

Hearing Grandma read the Christmas story

I don't need presents...I can build a house and garage with pretzels!

Later that week, we went to see the trains at Northpark Mall.  Grandpa, super-sweet, making sure they all can see!

More fun at Going Bonkers!

 

On our last day, we drove stopped by to see some long-time, dear friends.  On the way, we stopped in Jeremy's old stomping grounds.  These are the stallions in Las Colinas, near where Jeremy grew up.

Our friends,The Rowlands...all our kiddos together.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too!
