Christmas

I know i just posted a couple of minutes ago but I have some time since the kids are sound asleep and Roy is at work. I just wanted to share our Christmas with you guys. We had a wonderful Christmas! I feel so very blessed! We spent way too much money this year but we got things we needed and things that we just wanted!! We started off the season by making treats for some people in our ward. Then we had a day of snow. A couple of days later Roy's parents, sister, and niece came and spend two nights and one whole day. Then on Christmas Eve I let the kids help me make cookies for Santa. They were so excited to see that Santa actually came and ate all the cookies. Cole was actually a little pissed off because Santa didn't share the cookies. A couple of times on Christmas day Cole kept going over to the fireplace and saying Santa where are you? To this day he stills says I didn't get to see Santa (in a grumpy tone)! Anyway here are our pictures of our special day....



You can't see it very good but Roy got me a pink saphire ring with diamonds on the side. I was very surprised! He also got me a stainless steel dishwasher, a purse, a candle, and an 8 piece pack of glasses.

Roy finally got his riding lawn mower! He also got cologne, dress pants, and a sweater.

The kids sporting their new sun glasses.

Lilly clueless as to what is going on.

Unwrapping fun!

Leila got the reindeer she asked Santa for. She really wanted a real one but Santa said some of the reindeer were sick and he just couldn't spare a reindeer!!

Hello Kitty!!

The kids just found out that they had their own wrapping paper. Leila had Hannah Montana, Cole had Batman, Lilly had Pooh Bear, Roy had Santa paper, and I had Green with Christmas trees on it.

Our tree on Christmas morning. I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture!

My beautiful angels!!

Leaving Santa the cookies and chocolate milk we made for him.

New House

So I am finally getting around to posting pictures of our new house. I had to wait until I had the house clean to take pictures. I just noticed as I was downloading the pictures that I don't have a picture of Cole's bedroom. That will have to be at another time. Cole is sleeping and I don't dare wake him up! It has been a long day!! So here we go......

Dinner

I am very proud of myself. Roy's parents, his sister Kristen, and our niece Madison came over for the weekend. I made a turkey, sweet potato casserole, squash casserole, green bean casserole, and stuffing. The turkey was so nasty. Well the turkey was yummy but preparing the turkeywas nasty. I think I will stick to buying turkey breasts instead of a whole turkey. We had alot of fun while they were here! We opened Christmas presents with them. The kids really miss all of their cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents!! I wish we all lived close to each other so we can all play together all of the time!

Winter wonderland

That is right it snowed about 6 inches in Beaumont last night and stuck! It started snowing at about 10pm last night and the weather channel said it wouldn't stick because it was not cold enough. I woke up at about 5am by a phone call. It was the Beaumont School district. They said there is no school due to snow on the ground. I ran and looked outside and the ground was covered in snow.
