Merry Christmas

Another Merry Christmas has come and gone! Yes, at times it was crazy and stressful pulling it all together, but we feel blessed to share some of our fondest moments.

Z after his Winter Concert at the high school. We're not sure who was more proud ~ him or us. It was a festive night that kicked off the perfect holiday spirit for the season.

Everyone should have a little Mamaw love. We had just arrived late that evening to join the rest of the H-clan in AR ~ we couldn't wait to get in our comfy jams.

Check out that music man! Z was teaching himself how to play a few Christmas tunes on Granny D's piano. Music to a momma's ears I tell ya. This is probably one of my favorite photos of him ~ so Z!

But then again...this is so Z too! He's quite the culinary kid so Ry & Liz had this apron made for him. He couldn't wait to make Christmas breakfast burritos for everyone. They were deeelish!

Here's to a Happy New Year!

The ducks from the pond across the street are still hanging around. We've watched them get fat & happy since late spring. They've recently been taking practice runs for their winter flight south. Yesterday morning, as the over-hyped "arctic blast" hit town, they were flit-fluttering all over the place. I couldn't tell if they were doing a happy dance enjoying the rain, or if they were freaked out that they didn't head south sooner. You be the judge:

Altho we weren't quite perpared for such a cold front, it sure makes for fun cold noses:
