A Day in the Snow

Houston and I took our little buddy up to play in the snow for the first time and he was so stinkin cute! He was pretty confused every time he would step in the deep snow and fall through. He wasn't quite understanding what was going on. It was really funny to watch. I'll try and upload the video soon. We love that dog more than we could ever explain. He truly is our little baby. Here are a few pics from the day.

SCC Dinner Reunion

Last night I had a great time with my girls from SCC. We had a little dinner reunion for those of us that were able to make it. Dinner included Nikki, Jenn, myself, Brooke, Bonnie, Julia and Kallee. It was so good to see everyone and catch up on life. It's crazy to think that it's been going on 6 years since we've played together. I absolutely loved playing with these girls and miss them dearly. I'm so glad that we try and meet up together a few times a year since we are all spread out all over the country now. I'm so thankful for each and every one of them in my life! Love you ladies!!!!!! Go Artichokes!

A Wonderful Christmas!

We had such a great Christmas this year and fortunately Houston had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. That rarely happens, so I was very excited! We went to my parent's house on Christmas Eve evening and had a great time there. The boys had their shot of slivo as the girls watched them make disgusted faces afterwards. My mom made a delicious lasagna dinner and we just enjoyed each other's company and hung out for a few hours. We went home and watched a movie in bed with our little black furry friend. The next morning Bear woke me up around 8:15am; usually he wakes me up because he has to go to the bathroom or he's hungry or thirsty but I swear he knew that it was Christmas morning and he wanted his 24in bone that was in his stocking under the tree! Eventually, we got Houston out of bed at a quarter to 9. We then opened gifts and put on some Christmas music. It was so fun! My husband spoiled me like crazy with a ton of stuff that I loved. I got him lots of tools, you can never go wrong with tools for him. We then hosted Christmas dinner at our house for Houston's sister and her boyfriend and my family. We deep fried the turkey and had a yummy spread of food for everyone. For dessert we had a pumpkin cheesecake and it was delicious!

'Tis the Season

Yes, the house is decorated for this wonderful time of year. Houston and I both love Christmas so much, which makes it a ton of fun for both of us to get the house decorated inside and out. He put up all of the lights outside and of course put up the lights on the tree :) He's such a perfectionist when it comes to that but I think it's so cute! He's such a great help and I love that he loves when I decorate the inside of the house. It wouldn't be as much fun if he didn't care about me getting the inside all festive. Here are a few shots of the holiday decor from the Todd residence. We hope that all of you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy time with family and friends! We wish that we were able to spend time with all of you over the holidays but just know that we send our love!

Thanksgiving Blessings

Well this Thanksgiving was a lot of fun, we spent time with both sides of the family and really had a great time. Fortunately, Houston had the day off which was a nice change. We are so fortunate to have great families and friends who love and support us. We have a beautiful home, the best dog in the world, great jobs and of course a wonderful marriage. We truly have a lot to be thankful for in our lives.
