Houston Transco Tower Water Wall ~ December 27, 2009

While in Houston , TX for the Christmas, we took the kids to see the Water Wall in front of the Transco Tower. It was cold and windy, but so cool to see! They thought it was awesome.

GG's Christmas 12.26.09

We exchanged gifts with GG and Grampy on the 26th...things got a little crazy with presents on our heads :)

Diapers and Desserts

December 26, 2009. My Mom and I hosted a baby shower for 3 of my best high school friends, Julie, Melinda, and Michelle. We asked everyone to bring diapers for them and we provided desserts at The Dessert Gallery in Houston, TX. It was so much fun!

Merry Christmas 2009

Christmas morning is here! We ate Jesus' birthday cake for breakfast -although the cake letters I bought only had one S, so we had a Happy Birthday Christ cake. Then we read about Jesus' birth from the Bible and opened gifts from each other. Afterwards, we started loading the car so we could begin our long drive to Texas to enjoy the holidays with the rest of our family too!

Christmas Eve 2009

We enjoyed hanging out with each other on Christmas Eve! I let the kids pick our meal and they picked Taco Night! Yum. We also made our traditional Happy Birthday Jesus cake - the kids help so they can lick the beaters and the bowl afterwards.

Roses

How blessed am I to have a husband after 13 years of marriage, still bring home roses because he loves me?! I love him! They are so red, so full, and so beautiful too!

Somebody Else's Fun in Our Front Yard!

December 19, 2009
We had now had to fix our front yard twice in the last month! The first was Thanksgiving week when a man wrecked his car into our front yard and took out a tree in our yard and tore up our grass. We had our landscaper fix it all last week and this morning we woke up to find out a drunk 20 yr old Auburn student had some fun taking out our For Sale sign with his 4x4 truck, then got stuck because we have had so much rain lately. Our yard is horrible - a total mud pit!! We called the police and they found the kid and it is now under investigation. The yard will be fixed one more time this Wednesday! I pray for perseverance through these tough trials!

Kaylee's PK Christmas Party

December 18, 2009

Kaylee's last day of Preschool before the Christmas Break was a fun day and party. They did so many neat things. She made a Rudolph pot, a gingerbread house, she got to do a book exchange, and make some reindeer food. I was glad I got to go and be a part of it all!

My Little Angel

December 13, 2009

Our church performed a nativity play using children aged 2-6. Kaylee's Sunday School class had girls be the angels and boys be the shepherds. She made a beautiful little angel and the play was awesome! Those kids did a fabulous job learning their lines and knowing when to come on stage and where to stand. My Mom and Grandma were blessed enough to get to see it too, since they were still in town.

Kaylee's Preschool Christmas Breakfast ~ Dec. 11, 2009

December 11, 2009

Kaylee's preschool is being remodeled so there was not a place for them to sing for the parents this year. Instead, the preschool got very creative! They videoed each class singing Christmas songs and then had a breakfast for the parents and family. During the breakfast they showed the video of the kids singing. It was perfect! My Mom and Grandma got to come too.
