Christmas 2013

December was busy with all types of Christmas festivities.

Our church Christmas program was December 15.  Layton was a shepherd and Kade a king.

Layton's first grade Christmas program was December 17th.

Layton's Christmas party was December 20th. 

Christmas Eve at the White-Haired Pa-Paw's.  Here Pa-Paw is with all the great-grandchildren.

ICE, ICE, Baby!

On Saturday, November 16th my parents and sister, Skye, took the boys to Grapevine for a weekend of fun.  All morning and afternoon they attended a cousin's birthday party at Great Wolf Lodge.  They, of course, loved every minute of it.  That evening they toured ICE! at the Gaylord Texan.  We have been before, but the theme is different each year, plus it is just so beautiful that you can't pass it up when you get the chance to go.  Anna got to meet up with the gang at Grapevine, too.  This made Layton very happy!  Anna is the apple of Layton's eye...she is just about 15 years older than him!

Face painting at the hotel on Sunday morning.  Layton has a shark swimming into his mouth.

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful, snowy Christmas and holiday break from school.  We enjoyed 2012 and are looking forward to great things in 2013!

Layton had his first school party, which was fun to attend and see how he acts and interacts!

Making a Christmas tree from an ice cream cone, icing and M&Ms.  We have a wonderful room mother (Laci Reed)!

 Parents send a $5 gift for their child to open.  Layton really wanted a watch.  Here he is opening the package.

Here is his reaction!

Chiristmas morning.

Snow came on Christmas day and lasted for several thereafter.  This was the 26th when we finally got out and played in the white stuff.
