Christmas Continued

Christmas afternoon we headed up to OKC to have Christmas with my parents.  It was a really slow drive through snow and ice, but we made it!  And then had a great Christmas dinner and opened gifts.

By this time Hannah fully understood ripping open gifts, but instead of just going to the next gift to open she needed to have that gift out to play with for a minute and then she would move on the the next gift. 

The day after Christmas we left Hannah in the capable hands of MeMa and PaPa and headed back to Dallas to get ready for our cruise! 

Christmas Morning

We had Christmas morning at home this year.  It was fun to have our own family Christmas and to make some family traditions.  We went to the Christmas Eve service at Church and made it home in the snow.  We had blueberry waffles with Rediwhip (we ate the whole can, the smaller one :).  Hannah enjoyed eating the blueberries out of the waffles and then the waffle.  Christmas morning we woke up and read they Christmas story from Luke and opened gifts.  After gift we bundled up Hannah in her cousin Ashlyn’s snow suit that she had handed down. (I never thought she would wear it, but she did even though it was probably a little much)  We had fun out in the Christmas snow.

Hannah’s First Snow

We had snow at the beginning of December and Hannah was in awe.  She spotted it first out the window and started pointing and talking about bubbles.  I took her out and she wouldn’t even look at me, she was so interested in the snow.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving.  We went to Arkansas and spent time with Chris’ family.  Hannah had fun playing with Cousin Addy and was “gentle” with her.  And yes Hannah is riding around in a cozy coupe in the house, almost anything goes at the grandparents :)

A new look for a new start!

I'm be back!

It has been two real weeks for me as a Stay-at-home-mom and I think that we have the hang of it now. It has been great! The house looks pretty good we have been finished with dinner before 6 every night instead of just getting home. Hannah and I have gotten along just great and have a routine. She used to be able to really push my buttons, so when she would I would think 'on no, can I really do the stay-at-home thing?!' But actually I have been very patient and at times am surprised at myself when situations arise and I don't feel like I am going to lose it. I really think that I made the right decision and that God has blessed me for obeying (finally) and staying home. I have tons of pictures of the last oh four months, so I will be trying to get some of them up very soon!!
