this was my family's year for the christmas get together. we had such a wonderful time with cousins, siblings, snow, crafts, games, gifts, and my parents. my mom had the house looking amazing with all the beautiful christmas decorations and so very homey. the night we got there, she had all the variety of christmas candy set out beautifully including peanut patties, pecan brittle, divinity, and gingerbread cookies.
the next day, she had all the stuff ready for the kids to paint a birdhouse...which smith really enjoyed.
we got our fill of cookie decorating for a while with some gingerbread and sugar cookies that my mom made up ahead of time. ahhhh, they were so delicious...and beautiful of course, thanks to our handy work. even bo and charlie got into the fun.
thanks to the 'panhandle' weather, smith got to play some in the snow. charlie went out there with him and he kept saying "daddy, i not cold" although we are pretty sure he was frigid. that boy loves to be outside!
smith got some loving from his aunt bunny....both of my boys really love her. we got to check out her and bo's new digs in borger which they move into this summer. it is going to be great....such great views...wish i had pictures.

we had a really blessed christmas morning thanks to the generosity of my parents. what a lovely day in celebration of our savior's birth. i loved watching smith catch a glimpse of what christmas is about....and he enjoyed every moment. i love my family, the older i get, the more i realize these are the moments in life that i cherish the most....
