Do you wanna build a snowman?

When you wake up and this is what the backyard looks like in Texas....you just cannot stay indoors!

First, you must take many selfies...

next, you just have to lay down in the white, fluffy stuff and make the perfect snow angel...

and then you just have to do a few cartwheels!

Also a must is just throwing snow into the air and watching it fall...

and of course, building a snowman! The snow was very soft and not sticky. This made our snowman making a challenge but we did the best we could!

Here is the finished product!

 

Christmas at home

After getting home from Mexico, we did our family Christmas. Claire made her traditional birthday cake for Jesus and we has some appetizers while we opened gifts.

Claire was very happy with all of her gifts! We are overly blessed!

 

Christmas in Mexico part 1

 

We were blessed to get to spend Christmas in Riviera Maya, Mexico with our family this year. The only ones missing were Jeff and Bob. We had a great trip and many wonderful memories were made! Thank you Grandma for this opportunity to all be together! Claire had a blast with her cousins. It is so fun watching them...they act like they see each other every day (instead of maybe twice a year) and pick up right where they left off when they were last together!

 We spent lots of time at the pools and beach. We were able to go on catamaran ride, snorkel, watch a dolphin show, do water aerobics, play mini golf, and relax! It was a great vacation!
