10days {of Christmas}

We've been having far too much fun for me to keep up with the blogging lately.

Let's start at the very beginning:

Friday (18)- The girls spent the night while Mark and Rosie celebrated their anniversary. Daniel made us all delicious pizza, organized our very own indoor track meet, and cooked us all pancakes in the morning. i love when me hubby isn't stressed with his job.

Saturday (19)- Dianna and Daniel arrived with their adorable kiddos. We had a spaghetti dinner and then went to see the lights at this amazing house in the neighborhood, complete with fake snow, synchronized music, and a Santa.

Sunday (20)- dressed in our Sunday best. Kolby and Daniel were unavailable for our little photo shoot:) But my sis-in-law snapped this adorable one at church of the 3 musketeers:) Then we had a big family dinner at Mark and Roise's.

Monday (21)- Went to the Dr. to find out we're having a girl! The kids each got their very own sonogram pic. We stopped by the mall to pick out a baby girl outfit, sent off some letters to Santa, and headed out to Beaumont to visit grandma and grandpa Lawton.

Tuesday (22)- relaxed in Beaumont and i read an entire book, GooseGirl, and loved it.

Wed (23)- came home, played T-ball with all the kiddos, ate pizza and played games at mark and Rosie's.

Thursday (24)- Decorated cookies and gingerbread houses for Santa, ate super super yummy food, Brittany and Ryan arrived from Georgia, acted out Nativity, opened up jammies, listened to grandpa tell the Santa's Pack story, ate Jesus's Birthday cake, came home and took pics with the reindeer antlers my sis brought from preschool:)

Our "meek" Joseph.

Kolbs was shy and scared at first to perform but then he took his role very seriously.

My little angel:)

The "wise" men and a Texan King Herod:)

Friday (25)- Merry Christmas! Everyone slept in which was wonderful since we were up til 1 am the night before. KOlby got a soccer goal from Santa and Olivia got make-up. I got some hot black boots and Daniel finally got the Wii he's been wanting:) We hosted Christmas dinner for 17 people, played games and watched a movie. Its so fun to be surrounded by family for the holidays!

Saturday (26)- Took the kids to see The Squeakquel . They were very good and surprisingly quiet. Once we got home they told me how funny it was and Olivia started singing All the Single Ladies...

Sunday (27)- Enjoyed a relaxing Sunday.
