We had a wonderful Christmas, complete with SNOW!!!! The kids got too much stuff, as usual, but we did purge a lot of toys before hand, so I don’t feel too guilty about it. Here’s some pics of our White Christmas! 
Haley’s snow angel on Christmas Eve
is a new year and I will start it with a blog to wrap up the old one. I promise!!
It was actually a nice day here in Dallas yesterday, so I forced my kids outside to take some pictures. Haley was getting ready to go with a friend to celebrate the friend’s older sister’s birthday. (The older sister and Haley’s friend each got to chose one friend to take with them. They went to dinner at Medieval Times then to spend the night in a fancy hotel.) She looked pretty cute, so I forced her to model for me! lol She was reluctant because she just wanted to play! Eli was less than cooperative, but Blake was happy to “cheese” it up!
Well, it’s up there with Wonderful Christmastime, I can’t push Paul out of the top spot! 
I want to sing it in all the stores or have it as a ringtone or something!
Haley called me into the foyer yesterday to show me what George was up to!!! If you look closely, Barbie is tempting George. lol
We got the inside of the house decorated right after Thanksgiving and the outside done a few days later. We also adopted an Elf on the Shelf this year. Eli named him George (after George Harrison <3). We’re ready for a “Wonderful Christmas Time”! <3
We drove down to Nanny’s house (James’ mom’s) for Thanksgiving. She lives outside of San Antonio, about 5 hours away. The kids were pretty good on the drive, it’s getting easier now that they are older. We had lots of fun exploring the hillside and walking down to the river and of course eating yummy food! We also went to Dickens on the Square in town. It was a fun night for all! 
Yet again, I’m going to try to keep up with this blog. I’ve moved over to WordPress now, so hopefully things, like adding pictures, will run smoother. We’ll see. I’ll update it tonight with some recent pics and stories.
Of course it was actually yesterday and I’ll have pics soon!
blogging that is! lol I’m hoping that Blogger won’t be a pain now and I can keep this updated more frequently.
Things have been hot around here! Like 101 during the day hot! So, the kids and I have been indoors quite a bit. We got back from NC last week and I still haven’t unpacked. Guess I should do that at some point. Haley and I went to Ikea yesterday and got Blake a big boy bed to match Eli’s. We are trying to put them in the same room. We’ll see how that goes!
Other than that, not too much going on. If you want to see some of the NC pics, go to my Flickr page. Haley’s birthday’s this weekend, so keep an eye out for more pictures soon!
