Breakfast with Santa

Well we did get to see Santa...the kids even got a letter from Santa. Both are on the good list...they were both a bit worried. We had breakfast with Santa at school last Saturday morning.

We also got an elf that stays with us until Christmas is over. He goes every few nights to the North Pole to report on the behavior of the kids. He is a silly elf, changing places nightly making the kids have to look for him. We found him in the fridge one morning eating the vanilla yogurt...Emily even found that our elf loves raisins...thank god for the dog...

Snow in Texas...for real

Well you heard it right, we had snow in Texas. It started early in the afternoon north of town, but about five on the south side of town. I was out with a friend having coffee so I got to watch it for hours. When I got home Ricky wasn't even aware that it had snowed hard. The kids were in bed and wouldn't wake up to play in it.
