I have said it once and I will say it again. COLD WEATHER DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME!


It's the beginning of a new year, and already i'm behind! HA! We spent our Christmas in Dallas this year, because we had a very special visitor come up. My 90 year old Grandpa came up to spend Christmas with us! It was special, because it's been almost 2 years since my Grandma passed and my Grandpa refused to leave the house after her passing. He was very depressed but him visiting this past Christmas really gave us hope that he is doing better and will be doing much better. It was also special because Matthew got what he wanted! A WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! Yes, it snowed in Dallas! a good 3 in. or so! Matthew had been wanting snow in SA, but I told him it rarely snowed in east Texas. He still prayed every night for snow, and what do you know! His prayers where answered! Dallas got hit with a winter storm for the whole Christmas week and we got to do a lot of fun winter/snowy day things! We built a snowman, made snow angels and took too many pictures to post! The kids also got all the presents they had asked for since mommy..er.. Santa got up at 4:30 am the day after Thanksgiving to get all the things on their lists! We had fun, and loved spending time with family! I also love to see Matthew and his cousin Tristen play together and act all grown up! They are super cute! Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and are having a great New Year!
