Merry Christmas: These are a few of my favorite things

What a wonderfully blessed Christmas we had this
year.

The Christmas Story with Grandpa

'Twas the Night Before Christmas with Papa











Thank you Chadly and Lizabee! This was awesome. You should have seen Toad's semi-automatic action!














Thank you to Santa's helpers this year. This is a beautiful quilt made for Lily. It has pink and green furry spots. Too cool!

Mathlete

Alicia got 4th place at her UIL competition in Math last week. Woo Hoo! She tells me there were about 20 something kids competing.

I'm glad to have passed on the math loving gene. I think she's going to be better at math than I am!

I was gonna post a picture, but it has other kids in it. So, if you wanna see it, you'll have to email me and I'll send you a link.

Merry Christmas

This is kinda loud, so you might want to turn down your volume a little at first. I just wanted to post the kids singing, but since I don't know how to post music, I had to put it in a video. I might do something like this again that takes a bit more thought, but for now, this is it.

By the way, a couple of comments on the pictures in it. I tatted one of the snowflake ornaments you'll see. I also made like 15 or sixteen of them for an ornament exchange. Alicia made the candy cane, and Put the frog and whale toys in the tree this morning. It was funny finding them there!

Fashion Show

A nice family in our ward passed on a box of clothes to the girls. So, we decided to put on a fashion show! The girls had lots of fun... until they started squabbling!














Aren't they beautiful!

Randomly pulling up the slack.

Hello, my loyal blog readers. No, we haven't dropped off the planet. Here are some picture nuggets for your viewing pleasure. ;)

This one is of the kiddos playing in some leaves in East Texas. It was a sweet moment.

Look at that handsome little boy. We wanted to get a shot of him with sunglasses on and his tux, so he could have a "spy" picture. Might have to photoshop that up for him. (Lizzie... we'll send you one on the Wii message board!) Little Lily just wanted to run around everywhere and get to the water in the fountains.

This is probably the best shot I got of the bride and groom. Hope these folks don't mind me posting this!

Sweet little Lily sleeping. She must have been tired this day, because she slept until 11:30. Infantia Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus.
