Christmas Eve Day

Christmas Eve we went to Papa and Cha Cha's (my Dad and Cynthia) house. We had our annual tradition of snack type foods with all of our favorite snacks and completely stuffed ourselves. We had such a fun time playing and visiting and watching the snow fall down in the most blizzard like conditions we had ever seen! After eating, playing and visiting we opened presents and kicked off the Christmas festivities. Dad and his 3 girlsEnjoying food, drinks and most importantly family

Couldn't survive without Amy & Ali...the most amazing sisters/friends a girl could ask for!

Luke's 40th Birthday Party

Carley threw an absolutely wonderful 40th birthday party for Luke. We enjoyed the delicious food, the bar (the bartender was so helpful) and LOVED the Paciugo--3 servings was almost not enough! More than that, we had such a great time hanging out with friends and a night out without the kids.

Kidzworld Christmas Program

Collin and Reese had their Christmas program Thursday night and they did such an outstanding job! It is so fun to see how much they have changed since they were 2 and to remember what their first program was like. They were so cute standing up there, singing, doing all the hand movements and being so BIG! After the program, they had a cookies and punch reception and were able to enjoy their friends for a little while. What a fun evening!

Pajama "Christmas Party" at Dance

Reese's class had a "pajama" Christmas party at dance. They wore their pj's, danced to Christmas music, did a little dance craft (they traced their feet in "first position" and decorated it), had cupcakes and did a little "show off" routine for the parents! So fun!

Class Christmas Book Exchange

The kids had their celebration of Jesus' Birthday on Tuesday. The had pizza for lunch, had a book exchange and did some fun crafts--Reese and Collin also gave special treat bags they made for their friends at Nana & Apa's house (they included caramel corn, a cookie in a cellophane bag with the cutest rudolph "tag" and bow to hold it together).

Merry Main Street AGAIN!

"Merry Main Street" was supposed to have Santa parachute out of a plane, so we headed to downtown Frisco (with the Devlin's) to watch and enjoy the festivities. Unfortunately the clouds were too low, so Santa had to cancel. We enjoyed the fun anyways and had a great time. We snacked a little, rode the trackless train, looked at the huge train display and went on a carriage ride. The kids had so much fun--and they even went on their first horse drawn carriage ride--they LOVED IT!
