New Years

For New Years Eve we spent the day with Mat, Shanna, and Evie! The kids had a great time playing in piles of leaves that Mat had raked earlier in the day, riding bikes, and even playing in the sand for a little while! After a fun afternoon we ate a yummy meal that Shanna prepared & we let the kids play dress up.... love the pics!

Dress up- yeah, can you tell he never plays with girl stuff? I'm thinking this will show up his the slide show at his rehearsal dinner one day!

We headed home to get Austin to bed & I was in bed asleep by 10:30pm.... oh how my life has changed! But in so many good ways!

2011 has been a wonderful year.... looking forward to what 2012 will bring! Happy New Year!

3rd Christmas

Our 3rd Christmas was a quick one! This year my mom's extended family got together in Norman, OK! So after coming home from Victoria for one night, we headed to Norman for a day! We got there around lunch time & stayed until mid-morning the following day! It was great to spend time with the family... especially all of my cousins!

2nd Christmas

On the Friday before Christmas we headed down to south Texas to spend the holidays with Shane's family!

We woke up on Saturday morning & after our usual yummy breakfast by Sharon, we celebrated Christmas with Shane's immediate family. It was so much fun watching Austin & Evie open gifts this year- they were SO into it!
