The scary witch is Grandma!!

Happy Halloween!

~Happy New Year~

Texas Snowman!

We don't see much snow and this was the best we could do with our little snow storm! Kinda sad, kinda cute!

First Sleep Over

The twins had their first sleepover with their cousin Betty! Well, I don't know if it's counted as a sleep over for them, since Betty slept at our house, but it was exciting none the less!

Christmas 2010

Christmas came and went in the blink of an eye!  Sadly, this is the only still shot I got of the kids on Christmas Day.  I'm either really good at getting video or good at getting the still shots, and this year we got video!  This picture is from Christmas night when we went to Jill's for Christmas dinner.  The kids were still on a super high from all the gift opening earlier in the day and Ciena and Betty were in princess heaven comparing their new dress-up clothes!

The kids are all at the best ages right now and Christmas morning was so exciting, seeing their reactions was priceless!  Santa really came through this year and they got tons of fun toys including a air hockey table and trampoline.  The princess got her own castle tent filled with all things dress-up!  One of the best memories was on Christmas eve when we sat the kids down and showed them a video of Christ's birth.  When the the video ended Dresden leaped up and exclaimed, "Now I know the true meaning of Christmas"!

 

The Christmas Windows at Neiman Marcus

This year the Downtown Neimans did a really fun Christmas Window display with tunnels and slides that the kids could crawl through.  The twins were too timid to try it, but Dresden and his friends went through it about a dozen times! 

Christmas PJ's sent from Grandma!

Christmas Party at the Whitney's

Lots of friends were in town this year and it was so fun to get together with everyone!

The White Elephant gift exchange


Some of the most coveted White Elephant gifts! Brian got this awesome sweater!

Chad fought pretty hard for this shake weight. He promised next year at the Christmas party we would see the results in the size of his guns (we'll see)!

Speaking of guns... Marc and Jen are going to have a blast chasing eachother around the house with these Nerf guns!

And Jen and Rod were the lucky ones to end up with the penguin pillow pet! Probably the MOST sought after gift!
