Olivia and Jack must have been very good this year because Santa was very kind to them!
Olivia's loot
She was thrilled with her Barbie Townhouse from Santa, and why wouldn't she be? I have had almost as much fun playing with it as she has!
Jack's stash
The first thing he went for was the bucket of farm animals. That Santa is SO smart!
Santa must have known that our kids would not only love their own gifts, but each others just as much!
We could hardly tear Jack away from Barbie's pad much to Olivia's dismay!
Even Sophie (who hasn't had the best of years) got some goodies, her favorite being this bone! She carried it around everywhere like we might steal it from her!
With the Longhorns in the National Championship this year there was no shortage of appropriately themed gifts. Most importantly Denny's ticket to the actual game! A big thank you to Bumpa and Gigi!!!!!!!
Ryan all snuggled in his new UT snuggie!
And Bumpa with his new tee!
Look kids, a deer!
Checking out the wagon.
Another item to fight over. Who gets to sit in the wagon. Thankfully it comfortably accomodates two! Or two and a very small puppy!
I have lived in Texas ALL of my life and I have to say this is the first white Christmas I have ever had here! It was awesome! After we had completed breakfast and all gift opening it was back outside for fun in the white stuff. And this time Jack got to participate!

Marshmallow man
Olivia was dying to build a snowman and she and Denny did just that!
Complete with a weed (from a neighbor's yard of course) for hair, vanilla wafers for eyes, a carrot for a nose (some traditions you just can't break), and some sort of chocolate covered cherries for the mouth (which Sophie discovered after the snow had melted and they beautifully reappeared on our carpet!).

Must pause for photo op with Sophie Sparkles!
Time to completely demolish what took so long to build!
And the day ended with a wagon ride for Jack around the block! He does not look happy here but Bumpa assured me he loved it!
