Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas at home with Wesley and Jack. Here are a few pictures, but be sure to look at them all because there is a special Christmas surprise at the end!

And, finally, a special Christmas carol sung by Wesley...Merry Christmas!!!

A trip to the farm...and a winter surprise!

Wesley and Daddy took a trip to see the farm where we get our meat. It was a beautiful, cool day in the Hill Country near Brenham.


Walking to see the pigs (note: Wesley chose this outfit!)


Pretty foliage


Here, piggy!


Here they come!

Then, on Wednesday afternoon and evening we got to see a little snow! It was nothing compared to what our neighbors to the east saw, but it was snow nonetheless!


It's hard to take pictures of snow falling at night!

Snowy leaves

Holiday Time!

The holidays are here and we have been busy with Thanksgiving and Daddy's birthday! I'm sure things will get busier before they slow down...!

First, Daddy had his 34th! birthday.
