Christmas 2012!

We started the week off by moving into our new house.  But, sadly, a guy mounting a TV bracket hit a water line, flooded the master bedroom, which poured water down into our dining room, and we had to move right back out :(.  Carl is living in the new house, but the girls and I are back in Athens until repairs are complete.  They were somewhat confused...but they are little troopers!

The girls playing in the new playroom!

Back in Athens with family :)

The girls loved playing/spending time with Patience, Fischer, David and Hunter

Christmas Eve

We went to our candlelight service at church, then over to my cousin's house for food, fun and presents!

Christmas Day
We woke to see that Santa had come and brought more fun gifts!  It was a family filled day with Mom's family for brunch and Damon's family for dinner!  We were so happy to have David, Patience and the boys here from Kingsville. 

Last year...

Cooking

Camping :)

Reading with David

So excited to see Marcela!

Lily and Hunter

Lily loves walking her new dog

My silly, posing girl!

Playing harmonicas together :)

Hugs..

and kisses!

Our poor gingerbread house collapsed while we were making it.  Maybe we'll do better next year!

Almost Christmas!

We have closed on our house and will be moving soon!  Not that Christmas is an ideal time to be moving, but that's just how everything worked out.  We have finished our shopping and wrapping our gifts and have been relaxing in our pajamas most of the past week! (Obviously, we love matching pjs).  The girls are having so much fun playing together these days.  It is so neat to watch their friendship develop and see how much they love each other!  Lately if I ask Lily not to do something Lucy will say "Mommy she doesn't know she's not supposed to do that".  Lily also has to be right by Lucy's side. If she is sad or in time out, Lily will go give her a hug and sit beside her or run to me saying "Mommy...sissy sad".

We made one more trip to Northpark last week!

They loved watching the puppet show!

We ran by the house to check things out before leaving Dallas and had an impromptu pool party with our builder's kids :)

We wore Lily out...

My little cowgirls (favorite new pjs) ran around saying yee haw all day:)

Lily was trying to convince Pia to take her in the car :)

Lily has been really interested in the presents under the tree and loves pointing out all of the bows!

My little helper...she picked up every card, and put it back in the box!

Book Worms :)

We took Lucy to see Charlotte's Web at the Athens Little Theater...it was wonderful!

Lucy and Wilbur...her favorite character!

Last but not least-my baby girl singing her favorite song!
