The Christmas Story

Here is the gift Shelli gave her brothers and sister for Christmas. It is a framed copy of the page from their dad's Bible of the Christmas story. He read it to them every year before they could open their gifts on Christmas Eve.

1000 Points of Light

Jesse and the boys hung our Christmas lights today. Randy was the brave one who got on the roof. Justin and Landon took the dizzying task of wrapping the big tree in the front yard.

Silver Tree Pink Feathers

The beautifully decorated silver aluminum tree in Shelli's classroom. All the ornaments are flamingos and the top is a pink fuzzy tiara!

Festivities at the Fort

Even after an already full day of sort-of sledding and antique shopping, we still had to go on our annual Christmas evening in Burnet to Fort Croghan Christmas and the Main Street Bethlehem. Marci had never been, so we made sure we got a good picture of her wearing the dunce cap in the one-room schoolhouse.

Snow Joke!

Here are some pictures of Randy and Landon sledding. Yes, snow sledding in central Texas! The Llano Chamber of Commerce had some man-made snow blown onto a hillside in one of the city parks and then let the kids come and ride inner tubes down it.

Landon Hoops It Up

Here are a few shots of Landon's basketball game against Burnet Middle School On Dec. 1. The final score was 16-13 (Burnet won), and Landon scored 2 of the 13 points. He also almost scored 2 of the 16 - thank goodness he missed THAT shot!
