These two sad little bowls were Shai's idea to "catch" the snow on Christmas Eve and have snow ice cream. The wind was too strong and the bowls stayed upside down and no snow was caught! Hey, she tried! --- The snow pictures are in Wanda's yard. They live about 15 minutes from Amanda and got much more snow than Amanda did.

Opening presents from Grandmom and Grandpa and each other. 
Biscuits - Smart girl, she opens the can. Her Grandmom never could make homemade biscuits and got all kinds of ridicule for trying. Shai saved herself from that frustration!!!!!
Working hard at it!
So Proud (and so is Grandmom)!
Grandmom diane got her new camera and took pictures. I need to read the instructions and get better with it, but anything is better than my old camera. Shai has taken an interest in photography and wanted to take a picture of this old school house that is about to fall down. I took her and her cousin, Nykia to town one day and we stopped for a photo session. They were so cute and very into the pictures. These girls have grown up together and I can't believe we spent the time in town buying make up instead of baby dolls!!!! ~diane~
We are backing up a little.... Danny had to go to Hobbs, New Mexico on a business trip on December 13th. That left Diane free to go to Amy's and help her get ready for Christmas... AND I got to go to Kyndal and Rylan's school programs. They were absolutely adorable. Rylan was a toy clown and Kydal was an elf. --- Right after the picture of me hugging the toy clown, Amy and I were walking to her car and I tripped on the broken sidewalk and fell very hard. I either cracked or broke a rib or bruised my side because it is 12 days later and I am still feeling it. The fact that I now have a cough with some kind of crud does not help either (Danny also has it). I am sure this too shall pass and I am so glad I got to see the programs.... (and lived to tell about it - :o) ~diane~ 
We spent Christmas in Texas and missed most of the snow.... That's right, we lived in Texas 17 years and then moved home to Oklahoma and the first white Christmas in FOREVER, and we miss it!!!! We came home to big drifts in our yard and ice and snow on the side streets. The snowman was built by Danny's cousin, Johnathan who lives in Oklahoma City. I don't build snowmen without children around, so decided to "borrow" his.... I have more pictures to share as soon as I can get them from my computer to a program that will let me add them here.... ~diane~
