SNOW!

yes, for all you disbelievers, it snows in houston. only once every 4 years, but still - SNOW. the first picture is of grant and i going outside before it snowed when the high was 32 degrees. poor guy, he's been sick and he wasn't having a good time. all he would say is "too cold! too cold!" we didn't stay out long. later that night it really started coming down in these huge beautiful flakes. it was even still around when we woke up. the roads were "icy" so jason worked from home in the morning and built us a fire and we ate homemade pancakes.

Family Pictures

our photographer did a great job - grant was having a bad day. i can't count how many times he said "no." he hates having a camera pointed at him. actually, he just hates doing anything we want him to do unless we convince him it's his idea. i guess that's life with a 2 year old. there were a few really cute moments, and i love the pictures of him and Jason. he loved the geese until they started chasing him.

Christmas Fun

we went to a local santa's farm. grant loved touching sheep, pigs, and cows. he never wanted to leave. (p.s. like grant's jacket? our neighbor gave it to us. go top gun!)







while grant was napping, jason and i decorated the tree. here's kitty helping.



grant loves the tree. he wants the lights on 24/7 (at least whenever he's awake) and he loves the ornaments. he points out all the ones he can see every 5 minutes.





cute holiday garland. i want you to appreciate that it took me FOREVER to make this, hours of cutting up small pieces of felt. i got the idea from the land of nod children's store. i figured i could make it for about $5, but i had no idea what i was in for effort-wise. but i love the end product and it was fun to do (i kinda miss thinking of new tree designs). i have a lot of left over felt, i wonder what else i could do with it...
