Gaylord Texan & ICE!

Carter has been sick with a fever and Joseph and I had been planning on taking the boys to the Gaylord Texan, but since Carter is sick, I had the pleasure of taking Connor on a date, just him and I. We admired all of the Christmas decorations, ate dinner and went to the ICE! exhibit. We had a great time.. even in 9 degree temps!

"Mom, I am FREEZING!!!"

Christmas Day!!

What a wonderful day! The boys woke up to gifts from Santa. We enjoyed a great meal with all of my mom's family and ended the night chatting and staying at my parents. Even through all the ups and downs and health problems we have endured this year, we are a very blessed family!

Day after Christmas... playing with all the new toys!
