CHRISTMAS-2013 KANSAS CITY

Hubby and I went over to Tracy's house on Sunday night to open our gifts before we left to go to Kansas City.  Tracy put up her big tree this year.  She also made a big pot of chili.  It was really good.

Hubby's gift from me.  He was pretty happy with it.  It is a panorama of the game with OSU and Baylor.  He and Tracy are in the crowd.

We took these pictures as we were heading to Kansas City Monday morning.  We had ice and a big frost on top of the ice.  It was really pretty.  The ornaments had ice cycles hanging from them.

When we got to Blackwell, Oklahoma,  it started snowing really hard but we drove through it pretty fast.  We made it to Kansas City without any problems.  They did have snow on the ground when we arrived at Michelle's house.  So, we did have a white Christmas.


Michelle had the house decorated really pretty for Christmas.










These pictures were taken Christmas Eve.  Karlie and Abby had matching pajamas for Christmas  this year.  Wonder whose idea that was?




The pictures on the stairs were Carter's idea.  They turned out pretty cute.
Christmas morning.  Karlie was pretty happy with her bike that Santa brought her.
She was actually happy with all her gifts.

Carter loved all his gifts also.

Christmas dinner.  It was all so good.  So glad that Tracy and Michelle cooked almost all of it.


Can you tell that Karlie is just a little excited over the cake?  She loves cake.

GIFTS/CARDS AND WEATHER

Gifts ready to take to Kansas City.

I love getting photo Christmas cards.  We have gotten several cards but not as many photo ones as usual.

We got ice last night.  Not sure all of our trees will survive.

CHRISTMAS DECORATING-2013

I didn't do much decorating again this year, as we will be spending Christmas with Michelle and family in Kansas City.  I didn't put up the big tree.  Just didn't want to put it up since no one else will be coming and then have to take it down.  Hubby and I will go over to Tracy's Sunday afternoon for our gift exchange between us three.  We will not see Kim and family until Abby's birthday in January.

The real evergreen wreath that hubby's boss sends us every year.

SNOWSTORM-2013

 We had our first snow of the season last night and this morning.  We got around 4 to 5 inches and the temperature was 19 this morning.  So, it is not going to melt anytime soon.  It is early for us to get this much snow.  We don't usually get snow until after Christmas.



Lulu was definitely not happy.
