Christmas Eve!

What a beautiful Christmas!  This was my very first WHITE Christmas.  We spent Christmas in Midland with Justin's family and my mom and dad.  Then Ellen and Jared came up Christmas afternoon.  We had so much fun playing in the snow.  We built Frosty and threw snowballs.  Deets and Champ loved the snow too!

That is lip stick on Emery's face.  She is so kissable! She loves her new baby doll.

Ruidoso

We made the trip to Ruidoso to celebrate Christmas with Annie and Pops.  We had a great time.  It was the first time all of the cousins had spent the night together.  We took the big kids sledding.  Caron ans Davis loved sledding but Andy would not even try it.  Ruidoso trips are always fun! 



Santa!

Carson loves Santa!  He was always willing to sit in Santa's lap.  Each time he asked for the same thing, a 'Mac' track.  Which is the truck that takes Lightning McQueen to all of his races in the movie.  And do not worry Santa delivered!  Emery was not sure what to think about Santa but there were no tears.

Cute Kid Pics!!

We are so excited because Emery is finally starting to 'creep' on her hands and knees!!  Now let me explain.  She has been 'crawling' since she was nine months.  Crawling is technically commando style on her stomach.  Creeping is on her hands and knees.  Those are terms you become more familiar with when you have a special needs child.  We have learned alot since Emery was born.  So now at 15 months she is creeping up on all fours!!  This is a huge developmental step for our baby Emery.  We are so proud of her!!  She is pulling up on everything and wants to stand.  She is a determined little girl!

Snow!!

Snow is beautiful!!  Carson loved playing in the snow except he did not have water proof cloves.  His poor hands were freezing.  He was so excited about building a snowman.  He did not care that his snowman was shorter than he was.  Too funny!!

Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Waco with my family. It was great because Justin's mom joined us. We all had a nice relaxing time together. There is just so much to be thankful for this year!
