Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree


Our 1st Christmas Tree













We found our tree at Lowes this year! Saving the tree farm for when the boys can really appreciate it! Our perfect tree was leaning all by itself against the shelves outside. Poor thing! We are so glad we found it and brought it home! :)

These boots are made for walkin'



































Our Daddy likes to do silly stuff with us all the time. He makes our hair into a mohawk in the bathtub at night, tickles us on the bed, plays hide n seek.....but this one takes the cake! He thought it would be funny the other morning to put us in Mommy's boots! I didn't mind it too much, but Oliver thought it was ridiculous and he wanted them OFF! Thanks for making us laugh Daddy!

Love, Miles

Texas Snow!?






































Yes, we did get the boys outside in the snow the other week! It was very exciting. We had a play date that morning and had driven in it! The boys thought that was very cool. Then they napped during the heaviest part of the snowfall! When Patrick got home from work we bundled them up and went outside to see it! Oliver thought it would be cool to put his handprints in the ice on the front steps! Great idea Big O!

Santa's Little Helpers





















Turkey Day Fun....a little late!















































We had a great time in Canyon Lake for Thanksgiving this year! All of the cousins were able to spend time together! It was great to see them playing and laughing! Cana is such a little helper....she even put the boys in their pjs one night! In true "Kari" tradition, I got extremely sick on Wed. night before Turkey Day. Patrick and I ended up at the ER in New Braunfels at 3am. No fun! Luckily it wasn't the flu or anything more serious, just a 24 hr. case of a really bad stomach bug. Luckily, I was able to enjoy a roll and some mashed potatoes at dinner Thursday night. :) The boys loved their 1st Thanksgiving meal. They ate at the table with all of the adults! They loved the stuffing and sweet potato casserole. The "gobbled" it all up!

We went to the outlet malls, played with Papa's cars and planes in his study, played by the lake and skipped rocks, and went to the best park EVER in New Braunfels....Landa Park!
Thanks for some great memories Mamie & Papa!

Ho, Ho, Ho!
































I took the boys to the Galleria last week to meet SANTA! We waited for an hour for him to come out! Luckily some friends and their kids were there with us so we just got a coffee and walked around a bit! The boys were very patient while waiting for the big guy! Once it came time to sit in his lap they were not so happy! Oliver was the most upset....Miles just wasn't sure what to think!
I think that it is very fitting that their first picture with Santa is of them crying! I have to admit that I chose the one with them crying the most! These are some that my friend took.....they turned out better than the ones that I paid for! :) Overall, they were great sports! Maybe next year than can actually tell him what is on their list!
