Flashback to August... Lauren's birthday!!
I've been a posting machine the last 2 days because I want to make sure I'm ready to start my new year fresh and up to date. I didn't want to finish 2008 posts without getting our sweet Lauren's birthday pictures posted. This year our Lauren. To celebrate her 7th birthday, we took her and her cousins, Samantha and Kayla, to Dairy Queen and then off to enjoy the American Girl 'Kit' movie. This was also the only gift she requested as well; the American Girl doll -Kit. Here are a some pictures of our outings at Dairy Queen and at the theatre.
Lauren brought her new doll with her to the show.

Christmas Break Outing - Some Fun Bowling
Our kids had a full two weeks off and we've really enjoyed being home and hanging out. But like any family, staying cooped up too long can get you going a little stir crazy!@#$@@ We decided to go bowling. We invited our good friend Hattie and had a great time eating pizza and bowling with bumpers!! Love those things for the kids. Granted, Jeff and I are older and don't need those.... yeah... I would have loved to have had them. Very fun time!
Jeff showing Tyler the basics. Tyler was a hoot!! He loved it. It was great to watch him get so into the game.

Christmas Day
I only have Christmas Day pictures from Grandma Lindas'. We videotaped the kids at our house. We typically have Christmas lunch at Grandma Linda's and then do our gift exchange/opening. Here are some pictures from the day.
Christmas Eve
One of our Christmas traditions is to have the kids each receive a unique ornament and pajames to open from their stocking Christmas Eve night. Tyler received a Nascar 'race car guy' ornament which is very fitting for him right now as he loves the 'real race car movies and not the ones with eyes' ya'll know what I mean.
Lauren received a very beautiful, sparkly, dress ornament since she loves anything sparkly.
Morgan received a trebel clef ornament most befitting to her as she is advancing so well with her piano.
All 3 with their new pj's and ornaments. Merry Christmas Eve!!

Christmas program at church
I apologize for the blurry pictures but I really wanted to share these. Our children were in a church program and Morgan and Lauren were angels. It was very short,sweet, and nice. It was done to a Third Day song. Can't quite remember the name but if anyone knows the band Third Day; anything they sing is awesome. The girls very much enjoyed being angels.
Tyler, on the other hand, was supposed to recite a verse and sing a song along his other pre-school kids. But, as you can see from the pictures, he would have none of this!! He decided it was best just to cover his eyes and then 'no one would be able to see him' per Tyler. When he started to do this, it was pretty hilarious!!

Neighborhood Christmas gathering
Our neighborhood had a Christmas party to kick off the season and they had quite an array of fun things to do- such as; drink juice and eat great cookies, spread peanut butter and birdseed on pine cones and decorate a tree. However, our kids thought this was much too extravagant and really only needed the park to play and free icicles to eat. Notice picture A as Morgan demonstrates that the icicles are quite yummy!!
They did provide a campfire with marshmellows to roast. We did enjoy this activity along with our good friends the Bakers!
Santa also came and Tyler especially enjoyed meeting 'The real Santa' where he went to proceed and explain to him how all he wanted was a REAL gun for Christmas. This really be too much to provide for a 4 yr old.
All in all, playing at the park in the snow was the Big Winner for the day!! :)

Away In the Manger
Our girls sang 'Away in the Manger' at church. It was so lovely and a great way to start off our Christmas season.
Cannot forget what we did in October-- We were back in Texas!!
My yoounger and only sister is pregnant with her first baby. Our trip down to Texas in October was jam packed. We not only included my 20th high school reunion but also my sister's beautiful baby shower and also a trip to South Padre Island. All in all, great weather and great fun and fellowship!!
Here is a picture of Lorrie and all her neices!!
Here is a picture of me and my older brother and his daughters and of course, our sweet Morgan!
