Final Few 365s

December 28th: Grandma's Crew

Wednesday, we drove to Houston to have lunch and mini-Christmas with my immediate family. The cousins got to hang out, open presents, and then we headed to the park for some outside fun! Then it was off to Brenham for a Cothern Country Christmas.

December 29th: A Serious Operation

I don't have many pictures from the present opening chaos, mostly I was videoing. After tearing through gifts in 10 minutes flat, the kids went on to try everything out at least once. Grammy gave Noah his very first Operation game.

December 30th: The Cothern Militia

 Nothing makes Christmas in Texas more complete than getting to shoot guns!

Hey boys, we got your back:

Shooting skeet at the Reeve's place in Brenham.

And since I failed to take a picture on the final day, guess all I have left is 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tuesday Night Can Only Mean One Thing........

HOCKEY NIGHT!!!!

Last home game of 2011 vs. the San Antonio Rampage.

We invited some friends to go with us.

Getting ready to eat Mighty Fine cheeseburgers before the game! Yum!

My totally addicted to hockey boys:

These girls are pretty addicted as well:

The Stars won in overtime, 3-2.

A super fun night, bring on 2012!

Cutest Christmas Elves Ever!

Passing out the gifts on Christmas morning.

Christmas Eve

Fun evening of celebrating the birth of Jesus, singing, dancing, friends, candlelight and snow! Merry Christmas from the Cotherns.

Let There Be Light

After dinner, we took a little drive around town to look at Christmas lights. It was cold outside and warm and cozy in our sleigh. We made a quick stop for a picture under the Heritage Park tree. You can tell we weren't planning to get out of the car: no coats, no shoes, and pajamas! My favorite part was listening to the kids sing Christmas songs in the car.

Oh, and Mattie saying, "Holy Moly! That's a lot of lights!"

A Beautiful December Day

We met some friends at the park today to get outside and soak up some sunshine. The kids had a blast feeding the geese and the ducks. We also threw rocks in the water and walked the trail. Some December days, living in Texas has its benefits!

Cinderella Came To Town

And left glitter all over my living room!

'Tis the season to sparkle!

Read Any Good Books Lately?

 365:12-18-11

Great Grandma is in town (Brenham) for Christmas, so Grammy and Grandpa brought her to our house for the day. The kids showed her everything, and pretty much just showed off! I think she loved every minute of it, don't you?

You Make Me Smile

Mommy had to tickle her to get the smiles this time.

Love this silly girl.

Celebrating Jesus!

 Logan did an awesome job singing tonight at his program.

(It made Mommy and Grandma cry!)

Mattie had a birthday party for Jesus in her bear class during school today. She was proud of her purple hat!

Beauty and the Beast

Wednesday night my sweet hubby took me out to dinner, and then I took him to see Beauty and the Beast, the musical. It is my favorite Disney movie, and the show was awesome! Thank you Grandma for hanging with the kids so we could have a fun night out!

The human body has an amazing ability to heal itself.

Kinda makes me thirsty for a glass of milk!

Saturday 365: Dippin Dots and Hockey

 Like peanut butter and jelly.

They just go together.

Family night out at the hockey game.

Stars lost 3-2.
