The holidays flew past us this year! We have been busy soaking in the holiday magic with some of our favorite fam. First we were lucky enough to have Dustin (Weston's bro), Natalie & Henry come out for 10 days! We had so much fun! (I have so many great pictures but can't post them all since I am way behind on my updates- here are the highlights!)
Fun at the Houston Zoo!!
The Hall men are ready to go shopping. Sure to make Santa's nice list this year.
Weston and his annual kill.
Dustin & Nat were lucky enough to partake in a little old fashioned family fun with us up at the Mill Hollow tree farm.
The Hay ride is always great....beware of the snakes!!!
Tire rolling.....funner than you would think. The kids LOVE it....even the big ones. :)
Weston & Dustin enjoyed some good ol' brotherly bonding time with a few projects around the house. Mold.....
Putting in the marble floor. HEY....we gotta make them earn their keep, right?
Chillin with the homies.
Bring on the turkey!
A few days after Dustin & Natalie left....my little sister Rach came out for a couple weeks. It was so great to have her, too! I'm tellin ya....we really got spoiled this year.
1st time in 3 years she is at church and what do I find her doing in the bathroom?
Visiting Rudy the train with the Fronks in Kensington, TX. Warren, Ashira & I am pretty sure Kevin were all in heaven!!
Although, Benjamin wasn't too fond of Santa....
Inside each train car were some seriously awesome train displays....
Eye candy. Oh yea.
Taking in all the details.
All buckled up with Auntie Rachael!
It even snowed! For the second year in a row. Craziness!
Warren after his Preschool Christmas Performance at Christ The King, Luthern Church.
Rach just about hyperventilated when she stumbled upon her dream car as we exited the trolley while Christmas shopping.
FHE- Building gingerbread houses with the fam. Of course, mine won first place. ;)
Weston & Warren went with a mod-design.
Benjazilla invaded the Forte the next morning. Mmmmm mmmm good. Bye bye cannons. CHOMP.
Christmas Eve. The kids were all nestled all snug in their beds.....
Santa came!!!! It was a quiet day spent with our little family. Payette's had us over for an early Christmas dinner and then it was back home for more playing & our yearly Christmas traditions. It was a magical day. :)
Warren holding his new Woody doll as Ben guards his new chair and bridles the horse. There was definitely magic in the air.... Ben also took his first steps on Christmas!!!

I love this post and all the pictures. It really does look like it was magical! I'm so happy! And Ben is SO big! Steps? Woohoo! And are Dustin and Natalie moving in with you or what?! How fun to have them as frequent visitors.
Merry Christmas to our favorite Hall family! We love you all.
Cheri- They had planned their visit for Thanksgiving all along....it was Dusty's trip in September that was last minute but he was mostly studying for the LSAT. Henry & Hank didn't come that time....but yes we have been spoiled to have them vist two times this year. We were very happy about it! Hopefully, they will be moving here this year to start law school. Knock on wood. :) We love you too and am excited to see you soon!
I mean Natalie & Hank didn't come. Duh.
