Merry Christmas!

We just had our family Christmas here in Ft Worth before we go down to Houtson to celebrate with the rest of the fam...

I love Monk! The show recently ended and Brent thought it would be a good way to remember our good times watching it by getting me the official mug - I can't wait for coffee!

Peter got baseball cards in his stocking....a tradition we started this year.

Justin got a book in his stocking...also a new tradition for the boys.

...and don't forget the candy!!

Peter got an Astro Boy.....

...we can't tell if he was excited or not. :) LOL!

Before we left for Houston, we also got to see Brent's unlce and family. We had a great night eatng yummy fajitas and exchanging presents.

I just thought this pic was cute and worth throwing in the mix...Brent found him this way, rocking his baby all by himself. :)

"You will never guess my news!!...

Mama and Daddy didn't see it coming! ...

I have kept them up for three nights in a row...

...because I cut my first tooth!"

(Yes, it is his 'fang tooth'! I kept looking for teeth in the front but he had it coming in the side! The other side is about to poke through too...so he will fangs here pretty soon!)

Num-num!

So Justin got to have cereal for the first time on Dec. 2nd! He did okay with it...more was on his clothes than in his mouth. I forgot how messy this is! :)

First bite!

Peter was there to encourage and cheer for Little J!

"You can do it, baby!"

We will keep practicing...I'm sure he'll get better. :-)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We got the decorations down from the attic this week! We hung the stockings,

put on ornaments,

and finished with the star.

Then, this morning, we woke up to SNOW!! This is not Peter's first time to see snow, but he didn't remember when it snowed last year.

Such excitement. We taught him how to make snow balls and he had a grand time throwing them in the street. :)
