Happy New Year!

Although I've been light on blogging towards the end of this year, part of my new years resolution is to pick it back up in 2012!

Eden & Pryscilla wanted to wish you a very blessed Happy New Year! Goodbye to 2011!

Right now the girl are watching TV riding around on their new trikes and as cute as can be!!! 

My Birthday

For my 31st birthday Brian and I took a little short trip to Galveston. Last night we ate at Wille G's and we are staying at the Harbor House on Pier 21. Today I'm getting a massage and then we are staying one more night just not sure where yet. It's been fun relaxing in the room this morning after a wonderful but hectic Christmas. We had 5 Christmases! (not sure if that how you spell that lol). We are about to head to the strand for a little shopping. Eden and Pryscilla are staying with Noni. Kamryn, Jillian, and Mema are coming over to play with them too. So I know they are having a wonderful time. Thank you so much mom!

Sisterly Love

It's 11:57 on December 20th, 2011. I can't believe the year is so close to an end. It's literally been the fastest year that has gone by for me. Some friends of ours just left an hour ago, and I'm not sleepy quite yet. I thought I'd blog for a little bit. I've been bad at blogging lately. I think my family is just caught up in the reality of day to day life trying to figure things out and enjoying the blessed Christmas season. The girls are always a joy, and I thank God for them hundreds of times a day. Lately they have really been bonding with each other. Playing and making each other laugh like crazy. Playing little jokes on each other, tickling each other, kissing each other, and just becoming closer and closer every day. It is a beautiful thing to witness. Two soul mates sharing the same DNA and taking on life together as a team. It would be neat to have that from the moment you were conceived. Even in the womb they were a team... sharing food and space. My girls are my Christmas presents! Tomorrow I am going shopping with mom and Kendl to the Cypress outlet mall, Thursday I have a lunch appointment and then it's off to finish Christmas shopping. Friday is Christmas in Richmond, Saturday is Christmas in El Campo. and Sunday is Christmas in BCS with my girls. I am planning on Christmas breakfast which is our new tradition and then we will go to church. I hope your Christmas plans are going peacefully and your family is remembering the true meaning of the season. :) God bless each of you. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Tree - 2011

Our family had a blast finding and cutting down this pine tree. When we spotted it we knew it was the one. It was so cold yesterday and the perfect day to go scouting. It was a memory I'll treasure forever! Last night I decorated into the midnight hours and the girls helped me to put the finishing touches on our old fashion Christmas tree this morning.

Buddy The Elf

Since it's Christmas time we are all in the spirit. Every morning (well since Dec. 1) the girls get up and say "Ho Ho" and I put on Elf. I would think they would be getting sick of it by now, but they think Buddy is hilarious. The girls are pretty funny themselves always dancing, being silly, and playing non stop. They do love their books too and "read" at least 2-3 times per day. Lately I've been letting them paint with watercolors and they really enjoy that. Eden is very careful with her paintbrush and Pryscilla (after a few minutes) starts painting her face, hands, and the table. Lucky they are watercolors and very washable!
