Christmas Eve Fun at Nana & Pop-Pop's House

We went to Nana's/Pop-Pop's for our annual Christmas Eve festivities. The kids always have a great time opening presents, snacking on finger foods and enjoying their grandparent's. We have to make it an early night because we have to get home and in bed so Santa is able to make his visit.
Christmas Eve 2008

Daddy, I think you used too much soap in the tub!

Is this funny, or what!! Todd called me in to see the kids enjoying their evening bath and I about fell over! They had a great time, as you can probably imagine. And they were REALLY clean. HA HA Enjoy!

Pretty as a Princess! January 2009

Skylar went to a Princess Party and this was the final result after hair and makeup! She looks so cute and had so much fun. She doesn't let me touch her hair, but she let the young girls do whatever they wanted. Go figure! Hope everyone is well.

Love,
Susan

Santa Baby!

Santa. . . I can explain! That should have been what my children would say to Santa this year! This was our 5th year to see this wonderful Santa Claus. He has always been at Stonebriar Mall, but this year he is appearing at the new outside mall in Allen. If you need to look him up, more information can be found at http://www.thevillageatallen.com/. They had a very pretty large tree that had lights that blinked with the music, real reindeer and a spot for the kids to drop off letters to Santa. We met our friends the Cutler's and then went and had a fun dinner. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the season. (On a another note, I am writing this because we are home today for a snow/sleet day. Last night it started coming down and I think we had something like 97 accidents around the metroplex. Pretty crazy. FISD had a two-hour delay and then they decided to have a full-day closing. The kids had fun being lazy and playing and watching the snow come down. Trevor's X-mas program was cancelled, but is postponed to Wed.) Everyone stay warm and stay well! Love, Susan

Some Recent Pics of the Kiddos

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged, so I thought I put up a few recent pictures of the kiddos. These really show their personality and how silly my children are-and how very cute! Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm 2008

We finally got out to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm this year. We got there on November 1st and it actually worked out perfectly because it wasn't very crowded. Trevor had literally been talking about seeing the animals since June and we had to tell them they were sleeping. When I finally mentioned that it was Fall and we would be going to the Pumpkin Patch, he jumped up and screamed "The animals are waking up!!" Too funny. The Cutler's joined us and the kids got to play and run around while the mommies ran around and took pictures! Enjoy!

Too Cute to Spook!!

Happy Halloween 2008! My little goblins had such a fun night of trick-or-treating and I hope your family had fun too. We started the night off with pizza and appetizers at Sonny, Rich & Zachary's house. Then we went out and trick-or-treated in the neighborhood. It was funny to see Trevor in action, because this year he really got into it. And I think Skylar looked especially beautiful! Enjoy some pictures!
