SNOW!!!!!














































We got snow in Houston today and it was actually enough to play in. The kids were very excited. We had been talking about taking them somewhere this winter up north to see snow since we thought our chances were pretty slim down here so we were very surprised to get this much! It was a nice way to start off the Christmas season. We are looking forward to getting our Christmas tree and decorations up this weekend.

Exploring Houston







































































































































































































We have been having a great time exploring all there is to do in Houston this last month. We took the kids to the Museum of Natural Science and to Hermann Park one day. They were excited for Ryan to ride the train with them this time. It was a nice day. The kids and I also went on a field trip to Dewberry Farms with a group we are in. The kids had fun swinging off the hay bales! They have made some friends already which is nice for them and me.

We went to Disney On Ice, which Mia LOVED! She was so excited to see all the princesses and characters. She would love to go to Disney World this year! Just need to talk Ryan into it! Bryce thought he was too old for it, but I think he still enjoyed parts of it. So the next weekend we let him pick and he wanted to go to a Civil War reenactment. We were all pretty disappointed, but got some good pics! He wasn't impressed with the low tech weapons! I think he expected tanks.

We also tried out the Children's Museum down here which is awesome and huge. The kids had a blast. Unfortunately, we went the week my all day "morning" sickness kicked in so we didn't stay too long, but plan to go back soon.

We had a good Thanksgiving and have been back to Rockwall a few times already to see some family and friends. Now we are ready for people to come down here and visit!
