Better late then Never

OK so I have so many pictures and great things that happened in December that I will try my best to make it short. And also the events that things happened are out of order but at least they are being documented. Well here we go. This is our cute Little's opening their Christmas eve PJ's. Ellie thought they were fabulous. I love this tradition and the kids seem to enjoy it to.
I love this picture so much I wanted to post it twice. Ok I really just don't know how to get rid of it.


I wanted to do some fun things this year with the kids and make so fun memories. So I decided to take them to sea world before Christmas to enjoy the festivities. It was so much fun. It was actually a cold day here in good old Texas. 39 degrees to be exact and we couldn't have been happier.


Ellie and Maddie enjoying the Sea Lion Christmas show. It was so much fun



How about Shamu in the Santa gear pretty cool. It really was such a fun day. We enjoyed going on rides watching shows and seeing the polar express in 4-D. It started snowing inside the theatre(soap bubbles that is and my kids couldn't have been happier.)



Here is a pic of Cole at his Christmas pageant. He was such a cute cow and did such a great job. It was fun to go watch him.









So my parents came out for Cole's birthday and we had such a great time. I love them so much and it was so fun to be with them and do some fun activities. We went on a little day trip down to Fredricksburg. It has a lot of little shops and was a lot of fun. The kids I think were done by the end but my dad kept them busy with treats and goodies.



We made gingerbread houses or should I say some of us others just ate them. Ellie was loving that she could just go up and eat it.








My cute parents and our day trip. It was such a fun trip and even a bonus that they were able to be here for Cole's birthday. We love Grandma and Pop. Thanks for such a great trip.











Now here is the birthday boy. I can't believe he is four. The time really has gone by so fast. He is such a happy sweet person and truly gets so excited by everything as you can see in the pics.
























Now this trip happened at the Beginning of Dec. I was able to go out to Calif. by myself and wow I had so much fun. My sister and brother and their darling families live out there so we had so much fun. I got to go see my sisters baby who was born in Oct. so that was such a treat. Here are the two cute cousins Kate and Brooke and my mom and brother.

























My sister and sister in law and myself hanging out. We all had so much fun together. I love my family and feel so lucky to be able to spend time with them.



























They are already little buddies. How great that they are so close and can enjoy spending time with each others. Having cousins is the best.


















My mom and I at the Grove in Calif. unfortunately I didn't see any famous people but still had so much fun.


















Kim and I going to get some cupcakes. And they were delicious . Thanks everybody for such a fun December. And i hope everybody has a great New Year.
