A beautiful flower..

After getting this hat for Christmas from our friends, I couldn't help but snap a few photos to turn into color wonder!

Look what I made!!!

ok, so don't look too closely, and no it doesn't have button holes yet (help Mom!) but for my first attempt at an outfit for Aubrie I call this a success!

Marble Falls Trail of Lights

Its become a small family tradition to meet in Marble Falls for dinner and then a short stroll through their trail of lights. It is a beautiful display... next year we may have to find another small town trail of lights to enjoy!

Zilker Tree

With no Trail of Lights in Austin this year, we had to settle for just going to check out the tree! We had a great time with our friends! We came, we saw, we spun!

Another Santa...

we have seen our fair share of Santa's this year... here's another picture to share... you got to love the attitude you can see all over my little guy as he cuts his eyes over and grins!

Holiday Photos

Check out our family Christmas pictures! So blessed this year! I love my family.. enough said!

Baby Jesus?!?

Every year our church has a live nativity... when Branson was a baby we played the holy family... last year we opted out of participating... this year a friend asked us if we'd be the holy family again... of course I said yes... then as the day approached, I realized that baby Jesus was about 11 months too old, would be talking/babbling, have HER ears pierced, and would never consent to lying in a manager! And likely the littlest shepherd would need to be a cousin of the holy family since I didn't anticipate that he would do his part without us. I was pleasantly surprised with my children's performance last night... the first show Aubrie and Branson were so fascinated by the sheep and goats that they did perfectly... the second show was less perfect, but a wonderful account of the reason for the season!
