Snow Day 2011

On Saturday night, the weather forecasters were predicting big snow. We were a little disappointed that we woke up to only rain. About 11am though, the rain changed to big, wet snowflakes. What a fun treat to enjoy after church.

The boys built a snowman.

Kiersten was excited at first but when she had trouble crawling around in it, she was ready to go back inside

Note: Aidan's awesome plastic bag boots. Free and recyclable. It is not worth buying boots for the one snowfall that we might get each winter.

Dallas Stars Autographs

Darren & Aidan went to watch the Stars practice and then waited afterwards for autographs. Aidan enjoyed getting to see the players close up and he is very proud of all the signatures he got.

And the signature of a future player?

Happy New Year 2011!

We rang in the new year with some friends this year. Actually, we were all asleep well before midnight but we thought we would try to trick the kids with an earlier celebration about 8pm. About one minute into watching the ball drop from 2010 online, Aidan asked, "Hey, why does it say 2009?" That kid is getting too smart to fool anymore. We still blew horns and toasted with apple juice then called it a night. Happy New Year!

Christmas

Christmas gets better and better every year as the kids get older. Aidan was really into it this year and even Kiersten was unwrapping like a pro by the end of the day. It is so much fun to watch the joy on their faces.

And even by the end of the season, Kiersten has still not warmed up to Santa. Maybe next year?

Cowboy Stadium Tour

Despite not liking anything 'Cowboys' related, we were excited to have the chance to tour the new stadium. It was cool to see the suites, locker rooms and to be able to run around on the field.
