Fun In The Snow

I was trying to get Brooklyn calmed down and to sleep last night when I got a few calls...IT'S SNOWING!! Parker was excited, we went out and played for about an hour but after we came in it started snowing even harder. I haven't seen snow this good in Dayton since I was a kid. It was great!! I got a ton of pictures of the yard and house, here are a few...

Parker and I went out this morning with Brooklyn. I had her all bundled up with her little hat, mittens and jacket. She kept putting her mittens in the snow and licking them. She did pretty good until her mittens kept falling off and she would cry. Her little fingers were so cold so I brought her in. Here are a few pics of the kids...

We went to a Christmas tree farm in New Caney on Sunday. I told Parker that we were going to get our Christmas tree and he said something about cutting it down. We've gone and picked one out and cut it down every year since he's been born. Parker decided that he was in charge of the tape measure. He went around and measured the trees, calling out random numbers. Here are a few pictures...

A Visit From Santa

It's so funny the things that happen in a small town. I was trying to scrapbook earlier and I heard sirens. I thought that maybe it was a volunteer fire fighter headed to a fire or something like that. I kept hearing them, so I look out the window and there are fire trucks coming down the road. I go and get Parker and we stand on the porch and watch them as they are coming down the road toward our house. They stop in front of the house and in the speaker thing they say...come see santa. I told them just a minute, Parker was in his underwear (I didn't tell them that). I got him dressed and we went to go see santa. There were 2 Kenefick Fire Trucks and a couple of regular trucks all decorated in lights.

Santa comes up in the driveway and gives Parker some candy canes, which he was very excited about. One of the fire fighters asked Parker if he'd been good this year and he says yes and then asked what he wanted for Christmas. Parker's answer was boots! That's what he wants this Christmas...boots. Of course we have already bought all of his Christmas presents. I guess that's what we'll get with any Christmas money he gets.

Here's a video of Parker writing to santa...(the camera is shaking a little because I was laughing)
