December Update

Christmas is our favorite time of the year! Here are a couple of shots from our Christmas Card photo shoot:

There were so many good ones! If you want to see more 12mo and Christmas shoot photos, you can go here: http://www.pictage.com/593875 The password is: birthday

This year, my mom, Jess, and I adopted a family and delivered Christmas gifts. Christmas is the celebration of the wonderful gift of Jesus, so it warms our hearts to share God's love. Jessica wore her precious Christmas dress from Miss Kathy when we took the gifts over.

Jessica loves to put on other people's shoes... like for example, Mommy's lion slippers!

She looks so cute all bundled up in her little bear coat. (Thanks to her cousins for the hand-me-downs!)

In December, Jessica learned how to turn off Papa's tv. She thinks she has really done something big when she does this. As soon as she hits the button, she literally takes off running... waiting for a reaction-- and boy, does Papa give her one-- laughter and hugs! She knows JUST what to do to get attention. What a rascal!

Jessica likes to get inside the compartment on her Dora car.... so funny.

Ellie loves her baby cousin Jessica.

Being silly with my baby!

Jessica's favorite cabinet in the kitchen...

Here is a photo from Candace's Annual '97 GHS Girls Christmas Party:

It is always fun catching up with everyone. This year it was a little tough, because I was chasing Jess around constantly.

This time around, I gave my family albums from our summer trip to Maui for Christmas. They turned out beautiful!!! Everyone was so excited.

Lisa and Chad are expecting!! Come July, there will be a new addition to our family.

We spent Christmas in Austin. Here are Ellie, Abbie, and Aunt Shara making cookies for Santa...

As usual, Santa stopped by. Here is what he brought Miss Jess...

Jessica loves her new bathtime dolly!Jess got lots of goodies in her stocking...

Nanny and Aunt Tara, showing off their new gloves from Aunt Shara...

Holidays = lots of time in the kitchen!

Celebrating Christmas with our best friends, Ash and Em!

Sweet girls!!

We always look forward to spending as much time with Savanah and Sarah when they come down to visit from Colorado. Savanah is getting some kisses from Mommy here...This is our very poor attempt at trying to get a portrait of our girls... that's what happens when you wait until the very end of the visit to take a photo.... Lovely, huh? haha...

Jessica loves to go on rides through the house on Daddy Louis's walker!
And the VERY best Christmas gift of all....

We had so much going on in December, but we enjoyed every minute of it!

Jess and Me
