Last Post of 2021

 As my last post of 2021 I thought I'd post about something super exciting...the weather! 

We didn't expect any snow in Breckenridge this Christmas, and when we arrived it looked like this. 

Surprisingly it started snowing just in time for Christmas, and it snowed a lot!

The picture on the left was taken Christmas Eve morning, and the picture on the right was taken Christmas morning! 

And it was in the 80's today here in Texas... so that's fun. 

Ice Fishing

 Kyle told me I had to blog 2 more times this year, so I guess I better get after it.

The only thing the boys would give up skiing for is fishing, and that's just what they did.  I'm not sure anything looks more cold or less fun, but they loved ice fishing. 

They caught 24 rainbow trout so they were happy, and JR and I stayed home so we were happy too! 

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas from The Ingersolls that JR "doesn't like enough to ski with".

We did force him to take a Christmas Eve picture with us last night before church. 

None of us are wearing shoes so this is how tall we all are in real life.  

Santa brought stocking presents this morning.

Chloe was very concerned about which stocking was hers. 

Everyone took a picture with their favorite present.

JR picked his gift cards, which wasn't even a Santa present, but a Granny Sherry present. 

Reed picked his screaming goat. (Yes, it's a goat that screams like a person.)

And Kyle picked his magnetic stacking cats, while Chloe models her new elf outfit. 

Christmas Weather Update

 The weather has been absolutely gorgeous since we got here.  The snow hasn't been so great, but I'm ok with that in exchange for perfect weather. 

 Others in this family might disagree, but I'll take bad snow and a sunny day! 

But today it started snowing and it's supposed to snow until Christmas day.

What a difference!

And yes, JR is here, but I haven't actually seen him on the mountain.

Flipping Out for Christmas Break

How we feel about Christmas break starting! 

Basketball Season

 It's basketball season and the thing I love most is that Reed has to dress up for school on game days!

They are 2-1 and he's the point guard this year, so it's fun watching him bring the ball down the court. 

And it's exciting they've already played 3 games and I think that's the total number of games they got to play last year! 

Someone Else Ready for Christmas

 Chloe got herself Christmas ready, and she couldn't look more beautiful! 

Ready for Christmas

 My Christmas tree is up and looking as cute as always.  I only have 1 decorated tree this year, which I'm totally fine with! 

Sam the Elf showed up last night so he'd be ready to be found this morning.  Kyle is in charge of him again.  The kids were excited to get their chocolate Advant calendars this morning, even JR ran back from backing out of the driveway to get his!
