Christmas 2010



Evan is still a little too young to understand the whole present part of Christmas. He would open one present, then just want to play with that and not mess with the others we were trying to talk him into looking at. We saw lots of family who showered him with gifts and attention...what more could a boy ask for.

Christmas Cookie Decorating

A big tradition from my childhood was making Christmas cookies with the Todd girls. Now that Emily and I have our own little ones, we decided it would be good to start up the tradition again so my mom and I drove Evan to College Station to have a cookie decorating playdate with Wyatt. I thought Evan would be too young to really decorate the cookies, but he actually got the hang of it!

Cookie decorating is very serious business.



Awww, such cute boys!



Hope this will be a continuing tradition for years to come.

Wimberley Vacation

Dylan and I decided we needed a little vacation away from all the chaos that can be our lives at home. So this week we packed up the car and took Evan and Maddie to Wimberley. We stayed in a little cottage near Cypress Creek and about a mile from the square.

Most of our days were spent outside.



Evan braved the VERY cold water to catch leaves floating by.


He loved the slide at the local city park, and we got a kick out of the way the static made his hair stand up ;)


The town of Wimberley puts on a trail of lights that is free to the public. It is about 8 acres of lights and booths all directed at children. The trail ends with a bonfire with marshmallows and hot dogs available for roasting. The look of wonder on his face looking at all the lights was priceless.


Much to my surprise, Evan LOVED visiting Santa at the trail of lights. He was so happy to have this nice old man give him so much attention and looked like such a big boy up on his lap.


I'd definitely like to return again if not overnight, at least to visit the trail of lights since Evan enjoyed it so much.
