Winter!

Ive always been use to Fa-reeezing winters... especially last winter in Rexburg.. umm hello -2 degrees.  not fun. But in Austin, well it's cold-ish.. Cold-ish meaning long sleeves and a jacket or hoodie...and maaaaayyybe a coat at night. But that kinda cold is nothing compared to Utah, Rexburg cold... but when you are use to 105 degrees with 90% humidity, 45 degrees feels waaaay too cold.

It was fun getting ready for Christmas this year.  Hayden kinda got the just of it.  He liked all the typical Christmas traditions anyway :) but who doesn't like making sugar cookies? visiting neighbors and friends? opening presesnts? reading Christmas books? Christmas music? I mean really... (the Grinch and Scrooge dont count...)

Sooo onto pictures of our Winter time fun...
