Christmas Festivities!

It was a short trip but very good trip to Houston. We were lucky enough that Patrick didn't have to work Christmas weekend, so we were able to go home and celebrate with our families. I was able to join in on helping Patrick and his mom decorate cupcakes this year. And as you can see below Patrick and I had a contest of who could make the better snowman cupcake. And OF course I won!  :) His was evil looking! I was very thankful to be able to celebrate the holidays with my brother and his wife. I don't get to see them very often so I enjoyed the time I got with them and my absolutely adorable niece who dressed as Santa Paws this year. :) Also Patrick and I were able to celebrate Christmas eve with both of our families this year instead of splitting up. I was very happy that we could work that out. Overall we had a very good Christmas with our families and to top it off we got everything we wanted and more! After celebrating Christmas with three families it was time for us to go back to back to Midland :( I was VERY excited to see from the plane window that we had snow on the ground. Right when we got home I made Patrick get dressed so we could go play in the snow. We decided to make a snowman and to my surprise I found out that the snow was sticking!! I thought we were just going to make a small snowman like I have always done in the past, but once I started making a little ball I tried to roll it a little finding that it was picking up snow once I went along. I flipped out! I have never had the chance to make a snowman that was actually going to be bigger than a foot tall!! Patrick and I had a great time making a life size Frosty the Baker Hughes snowman! 

Here is our Christmas weekend in pictures. 
We hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!
