December 2013

December was more like Decembrrrrr. We were iced in for a total of almost a week. Landry loved missing school. Brad was even iced in from work. It was nice...at first. When day 4 of being stuck inside rolled around we all had a touch of cabin fever.

 

 

 

Just a little bit of ice.

Reagan was ready to go outside.

 

Look how the ice built up on even the small branches.

 

 

Landry said Elsa must have frozen this leaf because the ice was sticking out.

 

 

Out poor tree was completely bent over!

 

The roads were just safe enough for Landry to go to Peyton's 7th birthday.

 

Kennedi, Landry and Peyton. These 3 have been friends since they were 3 or 4 years old.

Everything that had melted was frozen solid again that night.

 

 

Snuggling and having some tech time.

Thankfully while we were out and about that day we got a Christmas tree!

 

 

The finishing touch.

 

 

The ice from the roof melted and refroze so we had a little more ice on the ground.

We were iced in for another day. The ice melted...again so off we went to Cabelas.

 

We saw Santa! Reagan didn't care much for the bearded fellow.

 Christmas Eve came (with no ice)! We went to church then came home to get ready for Jesus' birthday and Santa.

 

 

Matchy, matchy.

 

 

These two are definitely on the nice list.

Landry made our dessert for Christmas day.

 

 

Can we open just 1 present tonight, please? Just one?

Merry Christmas! Santa came!

 

 

Landry asked Santa for an easy bake oven and roller skates. She said "surprise me with the rest". So, he did.

 

Santa surprised Reagan with some toys too.

 

Landry was excited to test out her roller skates. She couldn't wait to skate to her friends house to deliver her present.

 

We were so happy to have Skip with us for Christmas! Christmas night we left for Mississippi to see family. It was a wonderful Christmas.
