Christmas Eve in Houston 2012

We spent Dec. 23-26 in Houston with Josh's extended family!  Even though it was quite difficult traveling with two little ones (and not the most relaxing trip for Josh and I), we are so glad we made the effort to go...Christmas in Houston is always so much fun and memorable!  We are truly blessed with an amazing family! 

Our first Christmas as a family of four...

On Christmas Eve we all gathered at Granny and Grandad's to take pictures before church...

All of the grand (and great-grand) kids with Granny and Grandad...

The girls...

The guys...

Happy first Christmas June bug!

Lucy was SO excited about all of the presents!!

We went to Tallowood Baptist Church's Christmas Eve service...

Thankfully, both girls were AWESOME during the service!  Lucy's favorite part was singling Silent Night by candlelight... 

After church, we went back to Granny and Grandad's for pizza and presents!!

She calls her "Minnie Mouse Clubhouse"...

This girl can never have enough tea sets...she loves a good tea party!

June just hanging out while everyone ripped into their presents...

Dad forgot his PJ's... :)

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

Thanksgiving 2012

On Thanksgiving morning we had breakfast at our house before Jimmy, Jill, Cole and Mom headed to the Cowboys game.  Cole's football team performed with Kenny Chesney in the half time show!

We had fun watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

It was such a nice, relaxing morning and afternoon at home in our PJ's!

After naps, we went over to GiGi and Pop's to watch the Cowboys game and have Thanksgiving dinner.  We were so glad that Wes and Gretchen were able to come to Coppell for Thanksgiving!

Busy playing with her doll house...GiGi and Pops have the best toys!  (It's hard to tell, but she's wearing reindeer antlers!)

On Friday, we met the Winters Fam for lunch...it was the first time for them to meet Miss June!

June and Lucy's 2nd cousins, Maci and MacKenzie...

MacK and Uncle Jimmy (June and Lucy's great uncle)...

June and Aunt Leisa (Lucy and June's great aunt)...

The whole crew...we had so much fun!  Looking forward to spending Christmas in Houston!

During Lucy's nap, Josh and I decorated the tree.  Lucy was so excited when she woke up and helped put the last of the ornaments on!

She had fun decorating her pink tree for her room too!

On Saturday we celebrated Thanksgiving (and an Aggie win!) with my family at Jimmy and Jill's...

Lucy is obsessed with Kalie (aka: KK)

He is on the top of my "thankful for" list...

During dinner, this little lady took a much needed nap!

Jimmy and Jill with all the kiddos!

June Bug is ready for her 1st Christmas!!

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving...we certainly have so much to be thankful for!!  

Visitors...

We've had so many fun visitors since we've been home with Miss June...as well as lots of yummy meals thanks to our amazing family and friends. We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support we've received...what a blessing!

My mom has been a HUGE help...she's grocery shopped, ran errands, cleaned house, done laundry, cooked dinners, played with Lucy, loved on baby June and provided lots of encouragement to me! THANK YOU, Jewelz!!

Grandad, Aunt Janet and Granny came up from Houston...

Kisses for Grandad...

Lucy loved hanging out with "Squeezie"...and showing everyone her baby sister!

June was so comfy when Kalie was holding her...
