Our Dallas Christmas

All dressed up for dinner

This year we spent Christmas Day in Dallas with my family.  We went to Three Forks for dinner and it was very nice.  The girls were very excited about Santa this year and had a great time. 

Not the best picture of me but I am glad to get a picture of everyone.

We got to go visit at Tyson.  What fun! Callie wanted a Barbie Dreamhouse and Casrsyn wants a pink washer and dryer!

Tasha

Tasha our elf was up to no good while she was here!!  Here are some pictures she took.  We got our Elf the year Callie was born from Susu.  My kids have loved it each year.  They were both so excited to get to find her each morning.  So much fun!  We will miss her till she comes again Thanksgiving.

Our Arkansas Christmas

Since we have to travel for the holidays we thought we would let the kids open some presents at home.  They got to open the presents that we got them.  They got a ton of art supplies, a climbing dome and some other fun things.  As you can see from the pictures everything was a huge hit!

A Christmas Miracle

We did it! We did it!  We did it!  Carsyn sang in a whole program without any tears!  She is more and more like her Mommy each day! She sang her heart out! So cute!

We did it! We did it!  We did it!    Can you spot her????

Ugly Sweater Party

Our neighbors had a Ugly Sweater Party.  It was so much fun. I made our swaeters this year.  After this picture Chris asked me if I thought this was a cruel joke they were gong to play on the new Texas people.  What if when we got there everyone was dressed nice.  It made me laugh. Needless to say we were way under tacky for the party.  These people go WAY out.  It was fun and I got some great ideas for next year!

Winter Meet

Callie has always wanted to get a medal.  Her gym center had a Winter Meet this year and we signed up quickly.  She got to perfom in front of everyone.  She did so well and was all smiles.  This is a big change from early in her life when she cried whenever anyone looked at her.  We are so proud of you little girl!

 She got to hold the sign for her age group.

In the hands of a child

One of the girls favorite things to do is play with my camera.  Well I deleted about 100 but saved some of the others they took beacause I thought they were so cute.  Here are some pictures from the girls.

 She looks so much like Chris in this picture!

 They were taking pretend Christmas Card pictures.

Ready for MDO.
