Top Reasons Why Christmas With Sam & Ben Rocks

cc

-Having Sam point to a new toy each day in December saying, “I want this for Christmas”
-Sam shouting, “I love it, I love it, I love it” while opening presents
-Spending 6 hours building a gingerbread house…enough said
-Riding the Santa train and almost missing Santa
-“Catching” Santa leaving presents by the tree (thanks Pop!)
-Watching a true believer open presents Christmas morning
-It’s actually cold outside so we get to see Ben in his cute hats
-Explaining on December 26th that we have to wait another year to do this againcc

Moving Thomas

Sam loves playing with his “moving Thomas”. Thanks Grandma & Paw Paw!

Playtime!

We’re having the best time watching Ben grow. He’s starting to put everything in his mouth and loves to squeal all day long. But his favorite activity is watching the ceiling fans go round and round.

Christmas with the Lindsey's

We always have the best time in Palestine. This year we decided to celebrate Christmas early with the Lindsey side so we could all be together. There was lots of smiling and laughing while presents were being opened. But the best was when Sam opened his gift from Lindsey & Daniel (a tool belt and hard hat). I’ve never seen such excitement from Sam. He was jumping up and down, screaming with delight and clapping his hands. It was truly the reaction everyone hopes for during the holiday season. Thanks to all the Lindsey gang (and Rogillio’s…and Lewis’s) for making this holiday truly memorable!

Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow!

This has been the year of extreme weather in Houston. First a major hurricane and now snow! It was beautiful to see huge snowflakes falling in December.

Sam ran around trying to catch them while Ben watched in amazement. We got enough that it actually covered the ground, but our winter wonderland melted by morning.

I tried to get some good pictures but I’m not used to photographing snow!

As many of you know, I love to photograph my children, friends, family, etc. Sam has become increasingly interested in taking pictures over the past few months. Here are a few of his photographs from this past weekend. So artistic!
