Just the Three of Us

Alexandra went with Nana and Papa for the night to check out Christmas lights. That left the three of us to enjoy a quiet night. Unfortunately, Avery was running a fever at times as high as 104. As a result, we spent our quiet night trying to keep Avery happy and not crying.

No...Really mom, I feel fine.

Just rub my head right there...

Here mom, he made my head feel better...

Going Fishing

I don't know where Alexandra gets her imagination but she has an awesome one! This is her in her boat fishing in the ocean for a whale. You will see daddy pulling her around the house. The blue string in front of her is her fishing pole. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

2nd Annual Rockwall Christmas Parade

We were very exited to go to the Rockwall Christmas Parade this year. Alexandra was riding on a float with her dance class "Girls of Grace"! We waited in the cold to see Alexandra! When the float finally got to us we could not find her. She was laying down on Heather's lap with the blanket over her. I guess it was a little cold for her liking. Toby ran and chased the float to find her and get a picture. We just knew Alexandra would be standing up singing and waving. You know you are a parent when you wait to see your child in the parade, take a picture, and then immediately leave! Avery was bundled up with me and slept the entire time. She decided to wake up when we were picking Alexndra up.

Rockwall-Heath Playoff Game at Texas Stadium

We were very excited about going to the Rockwall-Heath playoff game! Toby, Papa, and Alexandra went and had a blast! Avery and I stayed home where it was warm. A friend of ours from church is a coach for Rockwall-Heath so Toby, Alexandra, and Papa sat with his family. His daughter Addie goes to school and dance with Alexandra. They really enjoy each others company. Addie's mom is a good friend of mine and we enjoy getting together too! We are proud of the HAWKS!!!! Thanks for the tickets Keri and Natalie!!

Yummy Yummy to my Tummy

Avery turned 6 months at the end of November. She is so excited because now she gets to eat baby food. Here she is eating squash! We tried green peas but she kept her mouth sealed and would not take any after her first bite. I can't blame her they are pretty yucky! Squash however she really enjoyed and could not get enough. Good job Avery!!!!!!!!

The Wootens

Last weekend the Wooten's came over for a visit. We had a great time! Having three kids between us keeps our visits interesting. Alexandra's big thing these days is getting married. Uncle Brett was a great sport and asked Alexandra to marry him! Of course, they had to have their fist dance. She usually marries daddy at least twice a day. She wears a beautiful gown and carries flowers. Boy are we in trouble!!!

Nana and Papa's

We went to Nana and Papa's house for Thanksgiving! Of course, there was lots to eat. We all had a great time visiting, watching football, and being entertained by the girls. The girls decided to dress up in my old dance recital costumes and put on a show for all of us. We enjoyed all of the costume changes and dance routines from the girls! They were really fun to watch. After the girls performed the grand finale, it was time to open our ornaments for this year. Nana has made this a tradition since I was a little girl. We all loved the ornaments she picked out for us. Thanks Nana! Before everyone left the girls decorated Nana's christmas tree. What a nice relaxing day!! I love the holidays!!!!!
