Christmas 2012, Part 2

Christmas 2012 also had a bit of a miracle: SNOW in TEXAS on CHRISTMAS! We went outside and spent a lovely hour just playing together in the backyard.

Christmas 2012, Part 1

Christmas 2012 was just delightful. It was just the five of us, at home, with nowhere to be. The kids went to bed excited, and woke up around their normal time of 7 am, and came down to surprises in the living room.



They played with the train table for a good half an hour before they bothered with anything else. 







This scene probably lasted an hour or two. They were content to just play and explore.
