Christmas 2011

We had a lovely Christmas this year. Christmas eve, we went to my parents house for cotechino, an Italian sausage. Then Charles and I stated up way too late putting Ainsley's kitchen together!









It turned out so cute! Before that, Colton put out cookies and milk for santa.



On Christmas morning, we got up and opened presents.












Ainsley loves her kitchen.



Colton's wall climbing spider.



My wonderful husband got me a mixer!



The aftermath.



Two cute kids getting ready to go to nonna and pawpaws for Christmas!

Great day! Merry Christmas!

Moore Christmas Fun!

This past weekend we went to Grandbury to celebrate Christmas with the Moores. We went to a state championship game at Cowboys Stadium and we went to the hospital to see baby William. It was the first time the kids got to meet their new cousin!






Meme and pappy got nerf guns for Colton and daddy. Don't they look mean?



Last night we went to the lights in Dickinson. Ainsley loves lights!

More Treeluke

Christmastime Fun!

We have been keeping busy this Christmas season. We went to Moody Gardens Festival of Lights with some friends of ours and, of course, Treeluke has been keeping busy getting into trouble! We have done Christmas arts & crafts and we have plans to do a lot more of that! Colton also had his Christmas program at school today. He did such a great job singing!

Sneaky little elf!

Our elf, Treeluke made his appearance the other day and boy is he getting into mischief!



Roasting marshmallows




Riding a space shuttle on our chandelier.




Holding a tiny note for the kids.




Making us donuts!



By far my favorite so far.

I wonder what Treeluke will get into next??

Thanksgiving parties and more!

Today was a big day for me! Colton and Ainsley both had their thanksgiving parties at their school. I went to Colton's class first and sat with him for a while and then I went and sat with Ainsley for a while. Her class is so cute! There is only one other little girl in her class. They both made placemats with what they are thankful for.






Adorable!







Then, this evening we had the charger offense over for dinner. I made 8 lbs of baked ziti for 30 high school boys. It was crazy but a lot of fun. I was very impressed with how polite and appreciative they all were. Charles has a game on Saturday and the outcome of that game will decide what we do for thanksgiving.

Soccer ends! Playoffs begin!

Saturday was a busy day for us. Colton had his last soccer game of the season and Charles and the Chargers had their first playoff game of the season. Colton's team won their game and so did the Chargers!

CARS!

We went to HEB yesterday where they were having a Cars 2 promotion. Colton was in heaven! The real Lightning, Finn and Mater were there. We got lots of SWAG and had a great time!
