Christmas at the Payne's 2009!!!

Our highly anticipated, I'm sure, Christmas gallery:

Something happened here in Houston a few days back. SNOW. =)


Dan and my dad are in a Christmas light competition. =)
So here are some detailed shots of our light display.
I think the snow adds a little something, don't you?



After the snow had melted a bit the next day. Yes! It actually stayed for more than a day, well at least in patches here and there. This is our front tree.








Our second tree that sits back a bit further.


A great view of the whole house lit up at night! SO PRETTY!!!




Dan by Santa after a long day of Christmas shopping.
We finally started!




Our cute little mantle. Dan and I have our big stockings and the little one is the newest addition! We ran into some of Dan's friends at Panera today and they are expecting as well. She is 14 weeks along, and they were told they were having a boy. Well, they were at first! Now there's a 75% chance they are having a girl! Yowsers! That makes me all the more anxious to have my "big" scan and make sure this little guy is all boy!

Merry Christmas!!

  1. I love it!! The snow really does add something special! I love how y'all go all out with the decorations. I've never seen an adult quite so excited about Christmas as DAN!! I hope y'all can find out the baby's gender for sure soon!!

  4. Hi Honey,
    This is your dad trying to figure out how this blog site works. I tried it yesterday but the comment section did not work. I selected the google account to send it. I am trying to send this message, with hopes it will work.
    Stay tuned. Love Dad Sucess!!!
    I wanted to tell you first off that we love both you and Dan very much. And as for the baby, words can't express how happy both Barb and I are for your new family member.
    As I was viewing your pic's on Christmas and all the decorations of your home outside, its so beautiful. I will have to give up in this time and say, Dan you did a great job. But!!
    watch out next year, I have something extra special to put up at my place. Love Barb & Dad
