A Very Merry Christmas!

Hard to believe Christmas has already come and gone, but Claire and Kate had a really great time and opened more presents than should even be allowed. Between Granna and Grandad, Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Greg, and Uncle Howard... they made Santa look like a slouch! We are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends who all do so much for our girls!

Claire "needed" Barbies... and she got plenty!

"If you think I'm cute, you should see my Uncle" (from Uncle Howard) :)

Claire was really proud of her presents!

Mommy's favorite present this year!

Christmas Day 6:15 p.m... and yes, that's a leopard swimsuit under that sweater!

Happy Holidays!

Our holiday season is off to a great start! Thought I'd take a minute to share a few pictures of the girls getting into the Christmas spirit!

The girls loved Santa this year!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

I guess it really is like they say... time flies when you're having fun! My last blog posting was Nov. 8 and it really just seems like yesterday. A lot has been going on in the past month (as I'm sure it has for everyone). Bridal showers, a quick trip to Aunt Sarah & Uncle Bryan's house in Dallas for Thanksgiving, a bachelorette party, and getting ready for Christmas and Lindsey's wedding! Kate is now 6 months old and sitting up by herself like a big girl. I think she enjoys being able to sit and be eye-to-eye (almost) with her sister! Claire has been playing "wedding" quite a bit lately, so I think she's getting pretty excited about the big event. She's doing her best to stay on the "good list" these days, so we'll see if Santa agrees come next week! :)

All dressed and ready for church... and Christmas!
