Belly Picture- 28 weeks

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas today! We had our "traditional" Christmas breakfast at our house with Kay and Randy. Then we opened our presents with them. It was great! Kris surprised me with a David Yurman bracelet that has the March birthstone (for Karson). It was a great surprise! Of course Hogan got lots of new toys too! He had a blast playing with them as we opened our gifts. Oh, and we got a new hardwood floor for the nursery from Kay and Randy. It was exactly what we needed and looks great!

After that we headed down to Midlothian to have Christmas with my family. It was great to spend time with them. Madsion got lots of new board games, so we played plenty of games. She beat Kris and me at Connect 4. Kris got a new flip camera from my parents. It will be great to video Karson once he gets here. It was a great Christmas!

A White Christmas

It snowed last night so we woke up to a "White Christmas" this morning here are pictures of the house covered in snow. We heard this morning on the tv that the last Christmas it snowed here was in the 1920s! So I guess we won't see another one of these again anytime soon.

Hogan seemed to really like the snow. He loved playing in it! He also loved to eat it!

Christmas Eve

The coin bank for Karson
Kris must have really like the pie!

His grandma got a pink Snuggie, but I think he looks like a bottle of Pepto Bismol!!!

We spent Christmas Eve at Kris' grandparents house with his family. We had a wonderful Mexican fiesta for dinner. Kris made most of it. I tried to help as much as I could. It was fun to be the cooks for once.

We opened presents there too. Papa is making me a jewelry box. It is very neat! Karson got a handmade coin bank from Kris' uncle Steven. It is very cool! I am sure he will save all his pennies in it.

It was a nice evening with family. We had to cut the evening a little short because the weather was starting to get bad and the roads were getting icy. It took forever to get home and there were quite a few wrecks on the way home. But we all made it home safely.

Radio City Rocketts

Mandy, Madison, Mom and I went to go see the Rocketts Christmas Spectacular. I had seen it before here and in New York, but it was Madison's first time. It was a great show! I think she really enjoyed it! She just stared at the stage the whole show. I guess she was in awe of how great there were!!!!

Christmas Costume Party

Kris as Blitzen
Me as a Silver Christmas Tree

Our friends "The Twins" (Elizabeth & Caroline) had a Christmas costume party. It was a lot of fun. I went as a Christmas tree. Kris went as Blitzen. His costume needed a little explaining. He wore a DeMarcus Ware jersey (he is a football player for the Cowboys) and antlers. The football player plays defense so he is known for blitzing. So blitzing plus antlers equals Blitzen.

Isn't He the Cutest?!?!?!

Doesn't he look cute!

"Thanks Grandma, for my new P.J.'s"


Hogan went to "Doggie Daycare" yesterday while we got brand new windows (I will blog about that this weekend). Anyway he must not have slept very much because he came home exhausted! Then to top it off Kay sent him some cute P.J.'s. They look like a baby onesie! At first he wasn't too sure about them, but either he was too exhausted to mess with them or they grew on him because he fell asleep at 7:30 with them on and slept in them until it was time for us to go to bed. I think he looks pretty cute.

On a side note we also realized last night that we have had Hogan for exactly a year today. He is definitely bigger than he was a year ago! I guess just more to love!
