On Saturday we got to go up and have Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Newey. While there we and several others took Carson to the park. He loved going on the swings and down the slides!

This year for Christmas we got to come back home to California. After a somewhat stressful flight we got to see our fmaily who we haven't seen since we left. This factor is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.
This present here would be my very own Sewing machine. I'll now be creating loads of new things. Top of my list would be clothes and curtains. The texas sun is bright.

This was obviously Logan's favorite Gift.
It makes Christmas morningi so much fun when you have the excitement that little faces bring in. Tyler played Santa for us and handed out presents.

 

Jill's Favorite Gift

So it was my birthday on Thursday and Eric got me the most amazing gift! Yes, a guitar. I had mentioned a few months back how I would really enjoy learning to play. I love how you can take a guitar with you to places when you wouldn't always have a piano. I now own an absolutely beautiful guitar. I have spent the last few days learning to play and wow, do my fingers hurt. I have found the guitar to be similar enough to the piano that I did get an advantage. I have also had fun playing some songs in the primary book. The one that I have found to be the easiest is Book of Mormon Stories. Poor Eric has had to sit and listen to me play this one over and over til he's practically singing it in his sleep. Its a lot of fun though and I can't wait til I can start remembering chords without a chart for reference.

 

Once there was a snowman...

So today was a fun filled day. A cold front had come into College Station and we woke to find snow on our cars. Later this evening it started to snow again and this time it actually stuck. Eric was insisting that we take advantage of this and build ourselves a snowman. We each made our own. Eric had been expecting wet snow that was very slushy but instead the snow was nice and dry, just like Utah. I had to teach Eric how to work with it! It was a lot of fun. (As you can see in Eric's picture, the cold front has definately passed.)

Weekend Getaway

4 comments Posted by Eric and Jill at 2:08 PM

This last weekend we got to go to Houston and spend it with the Williams. Its nice having somewhere to go when this town feels just a little small. The girls are also great entertainers who made certain we had a great time. Needless to say it was a great weekend.

Peyton had fun putting on Eric's boots. While we were only there for a few days she probably stepped into his shoes at least a dozen times. She wasn't able to go very far but that never stopped her from trying.

Izzie had a lot of fun this weekend by getting to spend it all outside, something she hasn't done since we got here. She actually had a lot of fun with the girls and after a while wasn't even afraid of them which is another first!
Halli had fun becoming all differnt types of animals. Her cats definately love her as much as she loves them.
