From what I was told, Hermann Park has been completely revamped. The train is much nicer and the park is very scenic. My dad got some pretty good pictures that day.

Hermann Park Train
The day after Christmas, Adam & my dad took Mason down to Hermann Park. Originally they had plans to take him to the Houston Zoo, but it was rather chilly and they decided on a train ride instead. Mason loves trains and it was a big surprise for him.

Unpacked
Most people space out their posts, but since it's been awhile, and I haven't really updated on anything new in awhile, I figured I would do just that.
Our days and weekends have been spent unpacking and organizing. Every box has been opened and almost all of them have been unpacked, except for the office. The kids really love the new house and spend almost all of their time in the play room. I love having all of their toys in one place. It makes cleaning up much easier.
Unfortunately, it has been extremely cold in North Texas and we have yet to spend any time in the backyard. Sunday, it snowed for the first time this winter. The kids have never seen snow before and were so excited to wake up to snow that day. It snowed for about two hours at our house, not enough to accumulate on the ground. Mason was so disappointed because he wanted to build a snow man. Trying to explain that you can't control the weather to a three year old is a lot harder than I expected.
Taylor loves the stairs and doesn't want to be carried up or down the stairs. Miss Independent wants to do everything on her own these days. Thankfully, she doesn't play on them and knows she must have an adult with her every time she goes up or down the stairs. Speaking of independent, she also likes to feed herself. I tried to help her with her spaghetti the other night and she threw a fit. I gave in and loved seeing the joy on her face as she did it on her own. It was quite a mess, but worth it.
We have been researching and asking around about churches. Hopefully soon we will be able to start visiting some. I really miss going and look forward to getting plugged in and making new friends. February & March are the busiest months of our year. I think we have something almost every weekend until April.
Now that I have time, I'll finally get around to taking more pictures and blogging. I've missed it. Although it is a bit late, Happy New Year!

Christmas in Pictures
Adam & Taylor helping decorate Grandma & Grandpa's tree.
Mason loved decorating the tree, especially since we didn't have one this year due to the move.
All of Mason's ornaments made a nice row at the bottom of the tree.
Everyone helping.
We had the pleasure of visiting one of my oldest friends that came into town to see her Nonnie for Christmas. Her daughters Lily & Gracie are only a month older than Mason.
Smiles from everyone.
With Lindsey at Nonnie's house. We made so many treasured memories at this house growing up.
Taylor copping attitude about taking her picture.
My parents tree.
With my sister Christina on Christmas Eve
With my oldest nephew Jared. Can't believe how tall he is.
Mason loving on his mommy and cousin.
With my fabulous Mom.
My little brother Kris.
Love this picture of Taylor. She was smiling because Christina almost dropped my camera and Taylor found it funny.
With my honey!
My Dad reading the Birth of Jesus before we opened presents.

Christmas Cookies
Mason loves to help in the kitchen. So this year he couldn't wait to make Christmas Cookies with Mimi. It's amazing what a difference a year makes. Last year he was all over the place and it was quite a mess. It was still messy this year, but he was more focused and you could see the joy in his eyes.
Texas Bowl
So I know that I have been EXTREMELY absent from the blog, but my time has been better utilized unpacking,organizing our house, and entertaining the kids. I'm finally to the point where I can spend my free time doing things I missed, like updating our blog. It's long overdue and I've been promising pictures for awhile now.
On our last night in Houston over the holidays, we had tickets to the Texas Bowl. Adam has been waiting a long time for this day, seeing as it's been over 15 years (I think 16 to be exact but don't remember for sure) since Baylor has been to a bowl game. We braved the downpour of rain and made it to the game with a few minutes to spare.
Adam's brother David, was able to get us great seats at Reliant Stadium. Unfortunately Baylor didn't play their best, but we still had fun.
David down on the field. Can you guess which one?
Baylor entering the field.

The kickoff
Obviously the girl behind us didn't get the memo that we were taking a picture, but at least we were all smiles.
