Here's a peek at some of what kept us busy this year:
We played lots and lots of games. Clue is a new favorite!
Gene made aebleskivers, fried pancake balls, one morning.
The boys loved building a stick shelter at Nana's house.
We spent some time exploring the McGovern Centennial Gardens with Gramma on a beautiful day.
We didn't get to ride the Polar Express this year (severe weather prevented us from leaving Houston) but we kind of made up for it by visiting the Christmas Village at Bayou Bend.
Henry had a quick chat with Santa, after Christmas!
We rode a tiny train.
The holographic images on the side of the house told a story of the mischievous spirit of the house who tried to steal Santa's bag. It was hilarious and Will asked to watch it repeatedly!
Santa's reindeer were scattered throughout the grounds, but we found them all. The Christmas Village was a lot of fun and may be a new holiday tradition!
We also went to see the Christmas trains at Second Baptist Church. What fun!
And our big exciting news is that we have a new kitty! We adopted Freyja, a torbie (tortoiseshell coloring with tabby markings) from the SPCA. She is 3 years old, declawed, and is the sweetest, friendliest cat! She loves to sit on your chest and cuddle up. Freyja and Weezie haven't quite made friends yet, but the rest of us adore her.
Freyja loves to hide. Two of her favorite spots are the bag of bags in the pantry
and Will's backpack.
Needless to say, our winter break was quite exciting!
