Mimi, Ash, Nana and I spent a full week in Lubbock and made sure that Miss A had lots of time to play with all of her wonderful cousins. We had memorable dinners at Aunt Kathy's, Hobo Christmas at Aunt Dinah's, lots of time to nurture our newest Cousin Bryce, and luckily by the end of the week, Kaylor was well enough to play. There are many more cousins on the way for next Christmas fun!

Christmas Dress

Singing with the big kids at Church

It's my blog... so yes... I will do an entire post of pictures of my daughter in her Christmas dress.

Disney Playhouse Live!

Luckily the girls are too young to truly get the concept of buying a "souvenir" since they were ridiculously overpriced

My view of the show from behind Miss A's head!

Sporting her Minnie Mouse T-shirt at Romeo's

On Mimi's birthday, Nana took all of us to Disney Playhouse Live and Ash just loved it. She sat still in my lap for the 1st hour and stood in front of me for the next 30 minutes never taking her eyes off of the stage the entire time. It had a mix of the Little Einsteins, Winnie the Pooh, Handy Manny and her favorite.. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We are definitely ready for Walt Disney Land/World in a few years! We were so excited to have our wonderful neighbors Samantha and Coco go with us. Following the show, we celebrated Mimi's birthday at our favorite restaurant Romeo's. Ashton probably told Mimi happy birthday 100 times. It was precious. Thanks for the great early Christmas present Nana and Papa!

Miss A's School Christmas Party

Miss A's teacher Miss Shannon and playmates open gifts for the classroom

This picture is the closest she came all year to Santa Claus and it was only because the preacher held her and tried to calm her.

I love all of the artwork that they do (and therefore I don't have to be crafty at home)

Playmates Aubrey, Gabrielle & Jacob

Ashton's school Christmas party was on the 19th and a few of the kiddos in her class were already out of town for the holidays. She quite enjoyed decorating the cookies, opening a gift to be given to the school and overall just having Mommy stay and hang out with her friends.
