Tis the End of the Season...

It's always sad to see the holidays go, but we had so much fun with Eric being off of work, lots of trips to Six Flags, family visiting, SHOPPING!!!, Prairie Lights-such a neat place to see millions of lights though the carousel at the end is somewhat of a death trap..., Santa sightings everywhere we went (when does he have time to make all those toys???), the Owl's Nest at South Lake Town Center, driving around every night for 4 weeks to see Christmas lights, and living the Christmas holidays through a child's eyes again. It has been such a fun month for all those reasons and so many more!

We finally made it out to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine last week to see the train displays, the life size Gingerbread house, 40 foot tall Christmas trees, and Will's favorite-the elevator. Oh, to a be a 2 year old. It is such a neat place!

Unfortunately we ended the holidays with another double ear infection for Maggie. I talked to the doctor about doing tubes early so she doesn't have to go through what Will did, but she said we have to wait until it develops into more of a pattern. On a positive note, the EarCheck worked again!

We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years!

I think he's wishing for more Christmas...

Will and Eric in front of a longhorn-Will's attempting the "hook em horns" sign with his hand if you look close.

Maggie had fun looking at the trains too.

Will was really wanting that yellow car as a late Christmas present

We finally got an outdoor fireplace and christened it by making smores. Yum!

Will on New Year's Day. He's wearing his Arkansas sweatshirt for my sister's fam, his Michigan jacket for Eric, and his Florida pants for my Dad. Unfortunately, not such good luck (except for Michigan!)

My dogs haven't made it to the blog in awhile, not that this is the best picture. But Payton climbs under this chair to take naps sometimes and Will decided to join her for one on New Years!

One of Will's friends gave him this briefcase with an office set up so he can work at home like Daddy. It's so funny to see him get so into it. He'll tell me I have to be quiet or play with Maggie in another room because he's got to finish up some work!

Tell Eric Mittig I'm glad he's teaching Will about the finer things in life. The "Hook Em Horns" sign! Yeah!
