Happy New Years

I love this man!!!!  What a great way to bring in the new year than with the love of my life.  Gingy and Coach kept the girls for the night and we got some adult time.  No big plans just good food, an early bedtime, good adult conversation, and sleeping in. 

Aquarium

During the Christmas break, we knew it would be a good time to spend with the girls getting out and enjoying some new places.  One stop we made was the Dallas North Aquarium.  The aquarium was so neat and the girls loved it.  I wish I would have gotten more pictures but there were people everywhere and they wouldn't stay still for anything.  Maybe we'll try to go back when it's not so busy (not a Saturday).

Watch me Grow

At the beginning of December, our MeeMee gave us these lovely bulbs to the girls to watch them grow throughout the month.  They started out as just bulbs in the rocks and grew to the flowers below.  The girls had the best time putting watch in the vases and checking each morning to see if there was a flower at the end.  Luckily, they came through for us and gave us a few flowers.  What a neat project.  Thanks MeeMee.

Thanks Maegan

During my family's Christmas, my sweet cousin Maegan brought her fancy camera and took some pictures of the girls that I just love.  Thanks so much Maegan.  

Wordless Wednesday

Gingy & Coach Christmas

After opening Santa's presents, we go dressed and headed over to Gingy & Coach's house for lunch and more presents.  We had such a good time but unfortunately had to leave early because it started snowing and snowing a lot.  The first snow of the winter.

Our Christmas

Jordan and I made sure we got up before the girls to have the Christmas tree lights on, etc.  I thought the girls might get up a little bit earlier than normal due to anticipation of Santa Claus coming but I was wrong.  Addison woke up around 7:15a and she immediately saw the Christmas tree surrounded with toys and wrapped presents.  She yelled at Jordan and I to hurry, Santa Claus came.  She ran and woke up Landry and the fun began.  We don't do a lot of gifts, because they get so many from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and also to stay with remembering what the real reason for the season is.

Big gifts for Addison: grill, baby stroller

Big gifts for Landry: Mickey Mouse 3 wheeler, Little Tykes car thing

They both got pajamas, books, stocking stuffers.  What a difference a year makes.  Both of them were so excited and wanted to open everything right then.
