Our Holiday Visitors - A Photo Gallery

We were so lucky this Christmas to have Great-Grandma Lavis and Aunt Dee Dee come visit us! The weather was great and we did so many fun things!We played go-fish almost every day...and Cootie too!
Grandma Luci and Grandpa Denny gave the girls Rip Riders for Christmas - they are really fun! Lauren and Emma also still enjoyed riding bikes, and Lauren ended up with a nasty road rash to show for all the fun they had over break!Lauren and Emma enjoyed time with Grandpa Denny, while Great-Grandma, Grandma, and Mommy ran away down the street to The Lake Austin Spa for a day of sheer relaxation. We each had our own treatment, then met up afterward for lunch at the Aster Cafe. It was certainly a highlight of my vacation to have both my mom and Grandma with me at one of my favorite Austin locations!
Another highlight of our holiday was attending Austin Ballet's The Nutcracker. It was a wonderful show!

Christmas Advent Event

I am so behind on my posts, I'm just now posting about our Christmas activities! We participated again this year in our church's family advent event, and it was even more fun because we had our two family friends and Grandma Luci and Grandpa Denny there too!
Needless to say, all the activity...and sugar wore Emma out!

Glamour Girl

Lauren and her girl scout Daisy troop did so many neat things for others in their community this year, that we decided to "pamper" them! They went to a kid's salon and had their hair, nails and make-up done. They also picked out a fun outfit then paraded on stage and had a dance party. The girls really enjoyed themselves!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like...Feb?

The winter storm which has hit much of the U.S. made for an exciting Friday for us! School was first delayed two hours, then quickly canceled for the day due to snow and ice covering the ground. The girls could not wait to bundle up and get out there to play!
