Christmas Eve Train Fun

Mom knows a lady who owns a huge play trainset table.  She let Ethan and Zoee come over to play on it for a little bit.  They had a blast.  It smoked and made all kinds of noise.  It was a fun Christmas Eve day.  

It's Almost Christmas

Cutting out homemade rolls with Grammy.

 Who would of known dough would keep them so occupied??

 Cheesing it with my beautiful niece.

 We let Lily open her gift from us early and the kids had a "ball"!

Holiday Game Night

 Zoee and I were being silly

 No, she's not my kid at all!  (Sarcastically said) HA HA

 We played Clue and Life together.  Sebrena doesn't ever want kisses from Zoee, but she's always trying to give them any way.  HA!

Cocoas, Cookies, & Friday Night Fun

 We were suppose to have a night of caroling but the weather said NO!  It rained and rained all night and we didn't get to go out and the only people that came to our home was Mindy and her crew.  Mindy is my best friend.  We've been friends since 8th grade.  Even though we spend time apart..once we're back together..it's like we just pick right up where we left off.  It was a great night getting to visit with her and the kiddos.  The kids played Just Dance on the Wii and had a blast and I had ordered a big cookie platter so we made cider, hot cocoa, coffee, and munched.

Zoee's Pre-K Christmas Party

 Zoee loaded up on loot from her Pre-K Christmas Party.  They decorated an ornament for our tree, ate some yummy snacks, and even sang us three Christmas songs they have learned.  It was so cute.  I am so glad I get to take her to Pre-K because she is making so many memories with great lil' friends.

Merry Grinchmas Party

Zoee and I hosted a Merry Grinchmas Party for our friends.  The kids had a really great time.  We had an ornament exchange for the kiddos and then we pinned the heart on the Grinch to make his heart grow 3x bigger.  Everybody brought wonderful dishes and we gabbed. It was great holiday fun!

Christmas Vacation to the Christmas Capital of Texas

I have been wanting to go to Grapevine, Texas for Christmas for a few years now.  We finally got to go!  YEA!  I was soooo excited.  We invited Mom, Dad, Jillery and her family to go with us.  Dad didn't want to come.  :( We had the best time!  We did a ton in several days..it was blow and go but we got it all in.  We went downtown to tour Mainstreet where they had the most awesome decorations set to music.  We went to Bass Pro Sports SantaLand.  We went to the Gaylord Texan and saw ICE The Nutcracker.  It's 6,000 tons of ice made into sculptures that is simply amazing and breathtaking.  Zoee and Sebrena went ice tubing.  We ate at some really great restaurants including Rainforest Cafe and In & Out Burger.  We road the North Pole Express train and went and saw a show at the North Pole. We visited Lego Land and Grapevine Mills mall.  And on the way home, we stopped in Abilene at Chuck-e-cheese to see our best buddies, Katlyn and Haelynn.  We haven't seen them in a long time.  Here are many many pics of our vacation in no particular order.  I hope to go back someday.
