Chace completed his first soccer season. The team did not win any of their games but winning really wasn’t the point. They did seem to learn to not wrestle with each other and to not pick up the ball. They all had fun and were super cute!
The weekend before Thanksgiving we posed for the family pictures on the header of the blog. We spent the night before at the farm and the kids had a little slumber party and Chace enjoyed riding in the jeep with pops - he's using his police helmet as head protection!
Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing at our house with the Boswell clan, Jill and Dave and Papa.
OMG it snowed in Houston in on December 4th!! I mean really big, soft flakes that stuck for a few hours. By the time we got home that afternoon the snow was too wet for us to make a snowman but the neighbors had one on display!
We attended the Annual Epiphany Santa Lunch with Jill and Dave...
Chace also fell asleep several times on our old comfy couch.
Christmas Day was wonderful! I think it’s the first time in 4 years that I was not feeling sleep deprived and made it through the day feeling rested. The kids were thrilled to receive a backyard swingset build by daddy. Santa brought Chace a digital camera of his own and Paige a Mrs. Potato Head set among other great things. The other big hits were Chace’s storm trooper costume and tent, Paige’s little people pricess set and leap frog tag reader. Chip and I did well too in the gift category but the best gift of all was the day itself with family all together, relaxed, healthy and happy!
To top it all off Chip, Chace and I went to see the Nutcracker Ballet. Chace’s school had been reading the book and he wanted to see the real thing. He even agreed to wear his fancy clothes. He really enjoyed the big kid experience and we left at intermissions since most of the fight scenes were over.
