Baby its FREEZING outside...

We headed to Waco for the weekend and were met with seriously freezing weather! The proof? It SNOWED?!?! 

See....

What? You don't see anything?

Look closer...

(What do you mean, I added snow? Weird.)

It really was snowing. And it really was COLD! But we loved it and we had the best opportunity to warm up at a sweet friend's baby shower!

Lyndee is expecting baby boy #2 in January so we had a simple "sprinkle" to celebrate Reed. Emmy was especially excited about all the cake. 

And Mason was excited that he got some Big Brother gifts, too!

The rest of Saturday was spent laying around in front of a fire, haphazardly watching movies, and being all around lazy. Then we headed to dinner with friends while Gigi and Pops watched the littles. 

And by Sunday morning we were so stir crazy that the whole crew got dressed and we headed to the Waco Mall. For 3.5 hours. 

:)

We are kind of a retail family though, the mall is like a second home since Dad spent 30 years working there. And, we had an actual excuse since we were letting the kids have their first Build-A-Bear moment. This place was actually much more fun than I thought it would be AND much less expensive! 

Winning.

(These may be the softest stuffed animals ever - totally give this experience a big thumbs up!)

They all picked Christmas characters to adopt. 

First up was Radley with his "Big Red" Rudolph. 

He made sure to get him nice and fluffy. 

Then it was Emmy's turn with "Jolly" the Snowman. 

She was most excited about placing his heart inside. 

Landry wasn't so sure about the "stuffing" machine. 

She was content to stand next to me while "Molly" was brought to life. 

Then the rest of the day we ate some lunch, watched some TV, looked at Lyndees new house and then headed home with our new friends! 

Tis the Season Y'all!
