Christmas Morning!

I loaded the video wrong, I guess. So scroll to the bottom first to watch it. The you can come back to the top for all of the pictures.

Madi got a new "bedroom" for Christmas.

Christmas stockings.

What can I say...the boy loves his gum!

The year of Star Wars!

A new dress for Madi. Just in time for the New Years Eve dance!

Joshua with a 3-D train puzzle and his very own Snuggie!

And more Star Wars!!

Happy Christmas Y'All!



Video of Christmas Morning!

Christmas Eve 2010

Dinner. Crab, shrimp, salmon, salad, and potatoes.

Joshua enjoying his treat.

Christmas Eve means new pajamas!

Madi and Joshua

Listening to Dad read "Jolly Old Santa Claus".

It was so fun to see Joshua sooo excited this year!

And everyone writes letters to Santa in their underwear, right? Mom was busy sewing his bottoms, so they would stay up!

Yard Cleanup

Two days before Christmas, the forecast called for rain. So we hurried out back to clean up all of the leaves.

Madi and Joshua

It also happened to be Trash Day. We actually got them all raked, bagged, and on the curb with 10 minutes to spare!

Random Photos of the Season

Taking treats to the firemen.

Playing video games.

Hanging out watching movies.

Madi knitting a scarf for a friend. It took both her and Greg to unravel all of the yarn.

Joshua being, well, Joshua.

Pajama Day at school!

Making yummy treats for the neighbors.

A Visit to Santa

Joshua had a full page list, complete with drawings, just in case.

He really is the best Santa ever!

And she was too big to sit on Santa's lap this year.

Christmas Piano Recital

One of the silly pictures at the end!

Joshua playing "Cuckoo". He was very nervous for some reason.

Joshua and Madi playing "Oh, Christmas Tree".

Madi playing Hayden. It is her piece for UIL. We only recorded part of it. Joshua started getting front of the camera and telling me, "No, pictures, Mom!".

Fall Colors, Finally!

It took until the middle of December, but Fall finally arrived in Texas!

Photo Shoot

It was time to attempt to take some pictures of the kids. We needed a good one, or at least a decent one, for our Christmas card this year. I have decided on a Photo Card this year. It was tough to give up the handmade cards, but there just wasn't enough time for them this year. The photo will be black and white, so it didn't really matter exactly what they were wearing. Once we got past Joshua crying because he had to wear a button up shirt,

here's what we came up with...

All they wanted to do was take funny ones. Maybe next year we will have to come up with an idea to use those!

Cowboys Stadium

The second graders took a field trip to the Cowboys Stadium this week.

Joshua couldn't wait to run and score a touchdown on the field!

Huddle up boys! Here's the plan!

Such a cutie!

Inside the cheerleaders locker room.

All of the boys couldn't believe they were going to go inside. We should have covered their eyes!

Wait for it, wait for it! The big catch!

Going for the touchdown!

Dreaming of....maybe being the next big football star!
