The Christmas Season Has Offically Begun

-
Last night was the annual League City Holiday Open House at the Helen Hall Library.  We love to go every year to see Santa, eat yummy cookies, and do a fun holiday craft.  This year we got to see Santa arrive on his fun antique Fire Engine and welcome us to the party.  I think he brought some arctic air along with him.  Brr, it was cold!  We then played with fun Primary friends while we waited in line to tell him what we wished for Christmas. 

Before we knew it it was our turn to talk to Santa.  Rebekah asked for a Webkinz dragon.  Xavier was convinced by Rebekah to ask for a Webkinz reindeer.  Loyd asked for a Tablet, but then was reminded that Santa can't bring him one of those, and so he asked for light up Legos instead.  Maeve was a bit confused by the whole thing and forgot to ask for anything for Christmas.  No worries though, I'm sure Santa will know just the toy to bring for her. 

No one cried, though Maeve was a bit concerned when I handed her over to the jolly man in red she had just graced with a big grin a moment before.  Everyone was a bit overcome with excitement at meeting Santa in the flesh, but managed to pull off a great picture for mom anyway.  With this tradition done for the season now it officially feels like Christmas around here. 

Merry Christmas!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
