Early December

Dearest Colt and Jackson,

December has been a nice balance of chaotic and calm.  We started by attending Highland Village's tree lighting ceremony on Wednesday the 4th.



What we didn't know is that 24 hours later the entire city would be shut down!  An ice storm came in and, thanks to temperatures that stayed below freezing, took forever to melt!  School was cancelled on Friday the 6th and Monday the 9th!  We spent a lot of time cuddled at home together.  It was relaxing and fun!

The front yard:

The back yard:


Of course, you two wanted to bundle up and play!

  

By Monday, we were all a little stir crazy from being in the house for so long so we ventured to the Gaylord for their annual festivities.  It seems that folks were still a little freaked by the road conditions so we had the place practically to ourselves!!!





Colt, I promise you did enjoy yourself ; )


We spent a little time exploring the beautifully decorated hotel afterwards.  
Again, Colt, you weren't in a smiley mood:


So, Jax, you tried to remedy that:


We all resumed our normal schedules on Tuesday but we're hoping that wasn't the last of the winter weather....because any additional cancelled school days don't have to be made up!  ::fingers crossed::
