Updates

We have done several fun things this month but I've been a bit of a bad mommy and not taken pics. So I thought I would just tell you all what we've been up to. We attempted our first gingerbread house this year, well gingerbread barn. It was the most messy thing I have ever done and the kids and I were covered in frosting. It was fun but not sure I will attempt it again, LOL! We also went to Santaland close to Tyler with our good friends the List family. It is a really neat display of lights that you drive through. The kids loved it! This past Saturday night we attended a Christmas play at Cowboy Church in Terrell. Logan and Morgan participated in it so it was neat to see them singing and be reminded that Jesus is the reason for the season!

Updates on the kiddos -

Brayden had his 4 yr. check up this month and got up to date on all of his shots. He's all ready for school next year! His weight was in the 50th percentile and only in the 10th percentile on his height. I keep praying for a growth spurt for my baby boy! He has been having trouble squinting and his eyes still seem to turn in a bit so he went back to his pediatric opthamologist. The good news is that right now he doesn't seem to need surgery again but he will have to wear glasses. Wish me luck keeping up with them!

Peyton had her 3 yr. check up this month also and didn't have to have vaccinations but mean ol mom made her get the seasonal flu and swine flu shots. She is in the 75th percentile for both her height and weight. I knew their was a reason why she was wearing the same size as her brother!

Here's a few pics of the kiddos ready to go to Olive Garden for my side of the family's Christmas get together. They loved the fact that they got to open Christmas presents early this year!

Christmas Party

The kids had their Christmas party at school and this year daddy was able to make it! The kids sang a song that they had learned and exchanged books. Of course they had a feast with lots of sugar and goodies to go with it. They had fun and were super hyped when we left for their Christmas break, yeah me! LOL!!

Brownie Christmas trees that I made for the party!

WP Christmas Parade

On Saturday the 5th we celebrated Logan & Morgan's birthday's at Bouncin Around in Forney. The kids have been there several times but love it every time we go! I'm sure it helped that we were there to celebrate his best buddy's birthday and his little sister's too. I was so.... glad that Brent was able to take the day off to go the party with us plus he was able to put up our Christmas lights during the day. Later that night we met back up with the List Family and went to the Wills Point Christmas parade. It was COLD but so.. much fun, well until we thought we had lost Logan. Thank goodness he had just run a little bit ahead of us and we caught up to him! We topped the night off with some hot cocoa at the good ol DQ. It was a great day with our good friends and we always have fun together.

All of the kids were bundled up waiting for the parade to start.
