Let it SNOW!

Last Wednesday night, as Hilary was driving to the airport to pick up Heath, the rain was changing to snow. We woke up Thursday - Christmas Eve to 4-7 inches. Moose enjoyed his first real snow, while Bandito slept peacefully in his kennel.

This is Jack. He's 6 months old and belongs to Heath's parents. This was Christmas day on the farm.

This is Frostalina the snow woman. We built her Sunday after the 4th day of snow in the front yard. The snow was very wet and she was easy to build. The neighbors built one so tall they had to get on a ladder to finish the head.

Moose kind of liked it.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Love, Heath, Hilary, Bandit, and Moose

LONG update

Here is what's been going on lately at the Halford house. Blogger's being dumb so the pictures are all out of order.

We "lost" Moose the other night in the house. Losing a Rottweiler puppy for even a minute can spell disaster, but this is all we found:) The above picture portrays why his nickname is Fat Neck.

Usually Moose goes to bed around 9. He'll just walk back to his kennel and we'll hear him lay down. I guess this night, he saw the door open and helped himself to the bed.

We went to Carol of Lights and in true Lubbock form, it was 20 degrees. We love this tradition.
We went to Austin for Josh Rowan's wedding in November. This is Hilary and Chelsea. Nate and Chelsea live in Ft. Worth and we miss them very much. It was great to hang out with them for a night.

Their wedding was outside and very pretty. My hand was shaking because it was uncharacteristically cold in Austin. The above picture is Josh and Ashley Rowan.

Ashley and her dad.Heath's been traveling a lot lately. At the end of October he was gone for 2 weeks and went to Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama, and ended his trip in Washington D.C. for a conference for ASTD. Last week he was in College Station and Austin and this week he's in Los Angeles and Denver, and next week he's off to Phoenix. It's exciting that he works for a company that is growing like crazy, but we miss him while he's gone :(Here's Heath with our friend Christie Pare and Jim ? Heath has read some of his books and was thrilled that he got to meet him.

Moose and Bandit are still the best of friends. Here's Bandit hiding from Moose.

Hilary graduated from a 13 week class in sign language. It was a lot of fun and she will continue next semester. The kids in her classroom respond to and love all of the signs.Hilary made these cinnamon rolls. It was quite the experience. Just ask Heath. 3 different batches wouldn't rise. Finally we had a winner and it was worth all of the blood, sweat, and tears. Our kitchen will never be the same again, but oh well.

She also made these for the staff at her school. It's a yummy tradition.
Hilary's friend Brandi had baby Taylor this past weekend. She was a little early but absolutely perfect. Brandi teaches across the hall from Hilary and is a very sweet friend.

Hilary made this blanket for Taylor.

We had a good time at the CRS Christmas party on Saturday night.

Moose is learning how to bark on command. We were using the command "speak" but every time we would say it, he would sit and shake so now we use "bark."
