Christmas and Land Update

December 31, 2009 2:21 pm

December has been a very productive month. A few weeks ago we finally were able to have electric service run to our land.  Since Eric did all of the tree clearing himself it took us awhile to be ready for Bluebonnet electric to do the installation. But thankfully he finally finished in the nick of time!

Hopefully next week they will begin drilling our well.  Then our next goal will be to finalize the house plans (yes, we are changing them again). I’m not sure if we are still on track to start building in May but we are going to try.

Miles enjoyed playing in his first leaf pile a few days before Christmas.  We managed to get a few good shots.

We started a new Christmas tradition by walking the trail of lights in Bastrop. It is far better than Austin’s since there is actually parking! Miles had a great time and ran from one end of the trail to the other.

This year we had our first Christmas at home. After driving back and forth between our family’s houses the past few years we finally decided we had enough lugging the kids and their stuff around.  On Christmas Eve my dad and Eve came over for dinner and presents.

Miles got his first tricycle. When he saw it for the first time he yelled “A motorcycle!!”. He really loves wearing his Cars helmet too.

 Christmas morning, we opened presents with my mom and Ray.

As you can probably guess, the kids (and daddy) had more fun playing in the box than with their new toys.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
