Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year! We went to Abilene, TX. the day before Christmas Eve. We were very surprised to wake up on Christmas eve morning to about 4 inches of snow! What a treat! This was the kids very first White Christmas ever! It was Heather's too! The kids could not wait to get out in it. We dressed them up the best we could ( we were not prepared at all) and braved the weather. The snow was beautiful, the 50 mph wind was not so much.

The wind did let up later that day and we were able to play. The boys had a blast the girls stayed out long enough for me to snap a few pictures and then head in for some hot chocolate! That night we got to open all our presents. The kids got all they wanted, minus a dune buggy, plus more.

We still had a lot of snow on the ground Christmas morning. While all the grown ups were trying to get Christmas dinner on the table, the kids played for hours in the snow. Bubba was the most constructive.

The day after Christmas, we got to go to Austin and see my Uncle. He has had some heart problems for the last 6 months and has not improved much. It was great to see him. He may not get around as fast as he used to, but he is still very much the man I have always known. It was a wonderful visit!

We were able to come home December 28th. We were ready for our own beds! By the next day Heather's dad (Dave) came to visit and we had more snow!!! We all went out and has a snowball fight. Dave had a lot of fun!

Dave stayed for New Years. We Celebrated here at home and Mike cooked the biggest and best steak EVER and we played Wii with the kids most the night. We toasted at midnight and went to bed. It was quiet, fun, and not very eventful, but it was perfect for us!

We should be finding out next month where we will be headed next. So far the list looks like it will either be Ft. Carson, CO. or Ft. Hood, TX. We will post when we know for sure.

So for now....Happy New Year Everyone!!!! May you be blessed beyond your imagination.
