Christmas Break & Christmas 2015

We had a busy Christmas this year, I feel like my pictures are all over the place or I don't have any at all. Either way we had a great time and enjoyed the time together. First off was a trip to Katy to visit the Shannon's and this cutie Wyatt. The girls had a blast getting to spend time together and I got to snuggle with this cutie and spend a full day with Natalie- what a blessing to get that time together! 
                                                   
Next up was filling the house with sugar cookies, I had the best & cutest baker around to help me with the cookies.
                             
There wasn't exactly a winter wonderland around here- its Texas when is it ever. It was more like in the 70's and shorts weather. So we enjoyed walking the dogs, riding bikes & the kids tried a little tree climbing. 
Since the weather was so wonderful we headed to downtown Georgetown for dinner outside and walking the square to enjoy the Christmas lights.
We kept to our tradition of baking cinnamon rolls on Christmas Eve. They were yet again AMAZING!
Christmas eve we headed off to church and back to our house for Christmas eve meal with the Richters and presents. We were so busy eating that these are the only pictures I got of that night- Jaxson changed as soon as his toes hit the carpet but they were still so cute and sweet in this picture!
The kids did a great job putting together snacks for Santa & the reindeer
 Trying to get a picture looks a little like this in reality....
Marley & Tanner are trying to devise an escape from being so close to Lucy.
That night I got the best gift of all- sitting on the couch with my man staring at this beautiful tree. It doesn't get any better.
Even the dogs enjoyed the quiet time.
Santa was really good to these two!

Jaxson woke everyone up before 6:30 & they were through all their gifts before 7 am. I love their expressions in these pictures.

We got them both bean bag chairs- they've been staring at these huge boxes wondering what was inside. 
Christmas day we headed over to the Powers to do Christmas over there. Nikki & Gabe were in town- we taught them how to play Heads Up. It was quite interesting to watch the kids try...we let them win :)
                                       
After Christmas we were back to crappy weather so we decided to take the kids to a movie. Bailey cracks me up with her outfit selection for the day.
The week of New Years Jaxson went to the Round Rock Express holiday camp. He did great and had a lot of fun. It was so cool to get to see him inside the cages, on the field and walking around where the Express play. It was three days of fun and he had a blast!
This is a picture of Jaxson huddled under our bed trying to get some quiet time away from Bailey. I think the fact that she knew he didn't want to be near her made her push at him even more. They have good days and bad- this was just plain funny! Real life people...
                            
We wrapped up our Christmas with a trip to the farm for the Richters. The weather was brutal...seriously cold. Thankfully we had Chili so that made it all better. Its always laughs and smiles with the cousins. Aunt Kat gave Jaxson her Packers Jersey & Green Bay hat...he's worn it every week! So special! 
And that's a wrap, it was full, it was memorable and it was with family.

8th Birthday & Birthday Weekend

On December 18th Jaxson turned 8....time has got to slow down! This sports loving, smart as a whip, passionate, loving big brother amazes us every day. We are so incredibly blessed to have Jaxson, he fills our heart and our home with so much love! We had such a fun birthday weekend and made such fun memories on this special birthday, I'm a month behind on updating but its a weekend worth sharing!
                                        
We started off the day with lunch at his school and joining him in his class Christmas party.
After the Christmas party we headed home and hit the road for Fort Worth. That night we had a birthday dinner at Pappasitos and this yummy birthday dessert.  
The next day Jaxson headed over to the Rangers Youth Ballpark for his birthday gift- a day at the fields in a winter training camp (which included batting practice inside the Rangers field).
         
The weather was sooooo cold! All bundled up and tried to stay warm, taking trips to Starbucks for warm drinks, and Lucy ended up staying in the crate in the car- which she preferred instead of the cold weather outside.




When the boys were doing batting practice at the Rangers Field we found a fun Christmas festival they were having outside the stadium. I thought for sure Bailey would hate this snow since we didn't have gloves- but these pictures tell  you exactly what she thought....she LOVED it!!
The day was a success! He had a great time, he learned some really good techniques and got to experience something really amazing!
I'd have to say it was a pretty amazing 8th Birthday weekend for Jaxson!
