1st Snow Day 2011!

we got our first snow day of 2011! i think it was a good 3-4 inches of it, and there's still some left but not sure we'll go frolicking again but we'll see how bored we are this afternoon..

we spent the morning visiting the rents and headed straight back to plano cause news reports said it was actually sticking at home. rmd was taking a nice little nap but as soon as he got home, woke up and was like "its knowing! can i play? can i make snowball?" haha, so dressed him up and off we went!

we had no choice but to buy these boots last year on the slopes at northstar. he only wore it for a few hours, and it has just been sitting at home collecting dust. finally getting to use them again... good thing he hadn't grown out of them yet!

















collecting snow for his snowballs.

















at least he reveals his ammo to me before attempting to attack me with it.

















loving the snow!











































hot chocolate with whip cream & chocolate drizzle. specially requested after a snowball "fight", i mean "toss". we went out again later that night but it was too cold for pix.. but just perfect for a full-on snowball fight.. of which i'm sure we all ate our share of snow.

the holidays!

happy new year everyone!!

we didn't really make any new years resolutions this year, and definitely not to update the blog more often. although we'll try but why set ourselves up for failure?! haha so all we can do is try harder, but no promises.

so anywho, hope everyone had a fabulous holiday! we at the DO household had a busy and hectic month but full of laughter and love so it was all good!

oh, so first news for those who don't already know, we are expecting and currently at 24wks! and yes, team BLUE again so now... just trying to think of a name!

we then started the december month with daddy's bday - he forgets his own bday so won't bother to say how old, but will just post a picture of rmd singing him his bday song!

















then christmas finally came! this year, we even put up a christmas tree for the first time! rmd finally got the whole concept of christmas - santa, toys, and being on the naughty vs. nice list! haha, of course mommy used it to my full advantage but even better, it was so fun to see his eyes widen and lighten up every time santa and his toy list were mentioned.

he started off getting to meet up with santa himself. he was shy at first, but at least didn't cry... he then started to tell santa what he wanted and the only question he had left for us after his meeting was... "why santa not give me bullseye?" haha... patience my dear... patience...




















we were able to have a friends christmas exchange and got to round up all of rmd's friends that got to come by... kids are all growing up so fast...
















the gingerbread house he did a lot of the decorating for.. he's so proud!


































cookies left out for santa...

























christmas morning! he became a pro at opening gifts!














some of the loot he got from santa... and that was just christmas morning!

















we got to spend the rest of the day with the extended family, where rmd got even more loot! needless to say, i think he had a great christmas! so much so, he doesn't want to take down the christmas tree.. EVER!
