Seeing the cousins again!!!

Auntie Steph, Matthew and Allison drove up from Bryan Texas for Christmas!! Our kids were so excited to see them again.
Chris was flying up later on since he had to teach a mini-mester at university, so Steph drove all the way up by herself with two kiddos. I was so proud of her and she said the kids were really good.
Steph also didnt tell us that she was working out hardcore and had lost a LOT of weight. She looked fabulous!
Anyway...this was the cousins first day together of many over the holiday season!

Shoes??!!!

Max has a thing for my shoes...i'm not sure what it is, but man, every time I turn around he is in my closet putting on a pair of my shoes. I guess all the others did the same thing, but it seems like he does it more than the others haha.

I had to take a shot of this...he grabbed a pair of my red heels that are one of Jason's favorites and was more than happy for me to take his picture! One of these days this photo will come back to bite him in the butt :)

Soccer Star!

Tori wanted to swap over from dance to join soccer this winter. We said sure, why not. I played soccer almost all my life and Jason loves soccer as well. For our little hyper go get em kiddo she was actually rather reserved. She did do well which was great! She always loved going to her games and her best bud Bailey played as well. The two of them loved the fact that their name was on the back of their jerseys!!

Tori got a trophy at the end of the season that she was soooo proud of!!

Chandler Light Parade

Emily's dance company was in the Chandler Light Parade. It is a light parade that takes place at night and all of the participants wear tiny battery powered lights. It was really neat to watch.

Each 'group' in her company dressed as a different part of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Emily was one of the Christmas dolls in the sack of toys stolen.

Two of her instructors were dressed as the Grinch, Miss Tina, and Cindy Lou Who, Miss Alyssa.

They each carried a present with lights inside that looked really cool when they did their dance routine!

My lil doll :)

Emm and three of her dance group friends, Bailee, Bailey and Ali.
