New Year's Eve Bowling!

We took Merit bowling for New Year's Eve. What a perfect way to spend the evening! Merit has been begging us to take him. I made an indoor bowling game during the ice storm and he absolutely loved it. Since then, he has been itching to go to a real bowling alley. He acted like a pro and even told me he was better then me. It was so cute! We are looking forward to taking him again!

 

Christmas Morning 2013

Christmas morning didn't start as early as I remember some of mine as a child starting. Merit usually sleeps in a bit and this morning he was up around 7:30. I was glad he didn't get up too early because I was up way too late! In fact, JP left me awake and went on to bed around midnight. I think I finally hit the pillow around 2. Merit stood speechless as he looked at his new Superman bicycle and red RC Corvette. He was very surprised and excited to say the least. We really took our time opening gifts, taking pictures and enjoying time with each other. I made some yummy cinnamon rolls and we also enjoyed hot chocolate! What great memories!

Visting the Trains at Northpark

This event has become a Christmas tradition for me and Merit. He gets so excited about seeing the train display at Northpark and so do I! He studied intently the beautiful trains, the very detailed scenery and his favorite display was the State Fair of Texas are. His favorite and most memorable part of our visit was probably seeing the train crash. We have actually never seen that happen before and it was quite exciting.

Love these times with my boy!
