When I had my first tree I tried to do mainly horses, over the years it's developed into a free for all! But I love the mixture. In the above layout is a small smattering of some of the ornaments on the tree today! 
He is just tickled. He got to bring home one of his teachers pets (thank goodness not one of the live ones :o) and he chose the gorilla. Let me tell you "Gorilla" has been having the time of his life. He's watched tv, been read too, played with, even got to ride the scooter. He's been introduced to KitKat and Jake. Had the privilege of sitting with Momma and Daddy. Had his teeth flossed and brushed (pretending Momma). And when Daddy went to bed Gorilla was warming his pillow for him! One very Lucky Gorilla and one very Happy Boy!
I bought this Snowman kit for the fridge a few years back. Just because we don’t have snow doesn’t meant we can’t have a snowman. It’s really not Christmas until we get Fridge the snowman out. Michael and I have started a tradition with him. We find it kind of amusing. I’ll arrange Fridge one way and Michael will change him a different way. Poor Fridge is in a constant state of change, but we still love him!
My world is definitely brighter with this silly boy in it :o)
This my layout for the day...Our Christmas tree! Not sure why I take photos as it's basically the same every year with a new ornament here or there...lol...but I can't help myself and like to play with my camera :o)

Michael made Daddy a Birthday cake!

This past Monday evening my friend Helen was able to get tickets to a Christmas Pageant at a church in Victoria. She invited us and we loved it! Jesus the reason for the Season!
2 youngsters!
I took this Friday during our snow flurry day and he wouldn't look at me, lol...never does when I have the camera in hand, sigh!

Not easy choosing a few photos from our day...It was a very busy day!
The Holiday Express came into Victoria Friday. We stopped and I took photos earlier in the day when it was snowing. The tours started at 4pm and we planned on going.
Supposedly the next time it will be coming to our area again will be 10 + years...
It was pretty neat and Michael was excited about touring inside of it. He originally thought we'd be going for a ride, lol...NOT!
We left it and headed home...
Part of downtown Goliad.
One of the vendors all lit up!
Looking up at the court house tower.
Michael has his sausage on a stick and he's ready for the parade.
Notice he also has his snow pants & winter coat on but oh so toasty warm!
After Michael finished his dinner we went in a few of the stores. I love the Goliad pharmacy, they always have so many cute decorations. The tea party above was one of Michael's favorites.
They also had some gorgeous trees decorated.
The Grand Marshal and the beginning of the parade...
I think (if I remember correctly) this was a 57 Chevy Bel air...
Goliad fire truck all decked out for Christmas.
The 4-H float.
Beeville's fire truck.
A few tractors decorated.
They always do a nice job of lighting them up! What can I say it's the country and not Christmas without decorating the tractors :o)
Michael's favorite, The helicopter!
One of the many floats
Gritz towers inc. float. 
And here's Santa Claus!
A layout I created of our Snow fun day!
