We enjoyed the snow as it came in, and got out to play and dig the Jeep out to take Boomer to the emergency vet. Enjoy some more pics of our White Christmas Eve.
Editor's Note: In case you were wondering, Boomer ate Mary from the nativity scene, cat poop and cat litter (which is apparently toxic). Here we go again...

Hope Santa can get to us...
Here's our Christmas Eve excitement...a white Christmas!!! We just didn't expect it to be a blizzard!
This was early this morning when the sleet began...
...and this was a few minutes ago (3:00pm)...
And it's still snowing with 50 mph winds outside...

Christmas Festivities
G&A have had a blast this year with Christmas. In their own two year old way, they are starting to "get" the Santa and Baby Jesus concepts. They LOVE christmas lights, decorations, Christmas music, "Jingle Bells", tree, and most especially the sweet treats!!
They had great parties at school last week and though the pics don't show it, had fun at the Annual Norman Pancake Breakfast and Christmas Parade (gotta love the small-town feel of homemade floats, tractors, pets and wagons!) Abigail's favorite part was the "mooosic" (she loved the marching bands) and George's favorite part was the red "trakers" (vintage John Deere).
You gotta love a parade where the librarians push their library carts as floats and dance in sync and the local zoo walks porcupines and ferrets!!
Funny story that will haunt sweet A: She is petrified of anyone dressed up in costume. So of course, Santa is out of the question. Last Sunday the Children's ministry dept had a big birthday party for Jesus and all Abigail could say through her tears was "No Jesus, No Jesus!" I guess she thought "Jesus" was coming in costume!
Playing "Peek-ee-boo" with Baby Jesus!
Matt had his first "real" violin recital last Saturday and played beautifully though he was nervous about playing for a crowd. As our BIL said, "the audience can't hear anyway so I'm sure Matt was good!" (the recital was held at a nursing home, ha! ha!)
Seriously, he was great...the audience even sang along!
a smart mama brought stickers and found lemonade!! little abby didn't even cry at the wheelchairs (her nemesis).
Merry Christmas dear ones!

Just call me Bakerella of N-town...
Okay, I cannot take credit for these adorable sweet treats (thank you Pampered Chef and Aunt Go-Go), but aren't they cute? Balls of brownie goodness on a candy cane stick dipped in chocolate and showered with sprinkles....doesn't get much better than that!
Anybody else have any successes with class/teacher gifts this year? I'm always looking for new ideas!

Turkey Weekend in Texas
Big Thanks to Bill & Deb for a fabulous Thanksgiving in Texas! We had a wonderful turkey dinner upon arrival on Thursday and Matt and I enjoyed lots of R&R for the next three days while Grammy & Grandpa wore themselves and the twins out!
We did a little shopping in San Antonio, G&A had their first ever trip to the Zoo (the San Antonio Zoo is AWESOME if you are ever down that way!), ate fantastic food that we did not have to cook (thanx G&G), loved visiting with Oma who was feeling well they day we went, and had a blast at Schlitterbahn's "Hill Country Christmas". The trip was great and Abigail further mastered her potty training!!
