Christmas 2009 [Howe]

Sunday after church, we headed out and drove up to my hometown of Howe to spend a few days with my family. My sister, Dustin, and Jerah were all able to be up there as well, and it was really nice to be able to relax and have fun as a family.

This is the kids playing in some of the snow leftover from Christmas Eve. Little did we know that it would snow even more later on!






Abby has learned the art of the "cheese" over the past couple months. A minute ago as I was getting ready to post this, she said, "Awww... I'm so CUTE!"


Tuesday, we all bundled up and headed out to Durant, Oklahoma to do some ice skating (which I haven't done since 8th grade). I love this picture of my dad and Jerah.






I hate posting pictures of myself, especially when I'm embarassing myself, but oh well... I just had to laugh at me falling on my rear!




Abby wasn't so sure about ice skating at first, but she started getting the hang of it after a few minutes!


As we were driving back to my mom and dad's from Durant, HUGE snowflakes started to fall! It was so beautiful!!


Carson out riding his new scooter while it was snowing. He insisted it wasn't cold. :)


We've had an absolutely wonderful Christmas season this year. It's just made me feel so lucky... so blessed to have such great parent, in-laws, siblings, grandparents, and on and on.

Happy New Year!
