week of ice, snow and freezing drizzle

It's been a crazy week around here.  Sunday night an ice storm came thru Dallas.  No school on Monday or Tuesday.  The kids got out and played but it was all ice and that's not so fun.  Wed school was back in session.  Thursday was normal too but then Friday came and right after dropping Abby off at school snow started to fall.  And it literally snowed all day long.  All day.  By late morning the schools started closing because that's what Dallas does when it's not sure what else to do.

Now it was the good stuff and time for some playing!  Abby wore my rain boots and coat.

This guy was having a blast.

Time for a snowball fight with Daddy.

That's right.  No gloves.  Again, that's how we roll in Dallas.

We love you to the moon and back.   You are sweet, hilarious, athletic, kind, silly, serious and our joy!

Happy 4th Birthday Hunter Allen Bain!

dec 2014 was a blur

 December was a fun month but man, it flew by.  We started with our Christmas in Arkansas the first weekend and just blew thru it from there.  Santa came by on his firetruck and visited the neighborhood, we took the kids to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, made a trip to the Gaylord for tubing and had school parties and performances.   Bo and I managed to sneak away for an exciting Cowboy's game and our 4th annual Delt Baylor dinner was fun as always.  An ornament exchange and neighborhood party were also part of the celebrating as well as Abby's secret Santa parties.  Whew!

We headed to Houston on the 23rd for Christmas there.  I always love Silent Night on Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning was exciting as always!

Cotton Bowl time on New Year's day!!  Sad ending to the game,

but we sure had great seats and tons of fun with friends!

We got away for a weekend at a friend's ranch.  

Bo got his first deer (2 actually) and was so proud.  

Great ending to a fun month of celebrating the holidays!!!

The whole gang

H was excited to open Christmas presents.

My sweet Dad took the kids on a hay ride!

It's always fun to be with the whole crew!!  

Merry Christmas from the White family!

thanksgiving 2014

We are at the end of Thanksgiving week!  The kids were off all week and we spent Mon, Tues and Wed busy with playdates and fun with friends.  Thursday we woke up and did the Turkey Trot 5k in our neighborhood.  It was a great way to start the day!!

They had it rough.  

We got home from the race and started frying the turkey.

For the second time we had sweet friends join us and 

it was great afternoon of eating, playing and watching the Cowboys.

On Friday Bo and I took the kids to the zoo.  

It was a gorgeous day for it and it was empty.  

Saturday we met up with our Baylor gang and had a blast

at the Baylor/Tech game.  It was a close one but we won.

It was a fun week and breaking the routine was really nice!    Happy Thanksgiving!!

family pics 2014

We had family pics a few weeks ago and I love them!  Here are a few of my 

favorites minus a couple I am using on my Christmas card.

After a few shots, Hunter screamed "funny face pic" and we all participated.
