Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know we did!
Park got her Elephant.

And tons more.

Merry Christmas #3!

Thursday we drove up to Humble to see the Barrons and Grandma and Grandpa Nesbitt. We had to come home that night so it was a shorter trip than we would have liked, but we had a great time seeing everyone!

We had a mass opening of presents (we loved everything we were given, thank you again!)



The Barrons got to meet sweet (and chunky) baby Dallas.

Parker got to play with the dogs (which she loved of course).

Corpus Christi, Tx

The girls and I left Thursday for Corpus Christi. We wanted to get some extra time in with Grammy, Grandpa, and Uncle Ry.

Parker has been running around like a crazy woman since we got here- wrestling with her uncles, and terrorizing the dogs.

Dallas has spend most of her time snuggling everyone.

Hank and I got Parker a Vtec Mobigo for Christmas. She has barely put it down since she got it- totally surpassing my expectations for it.

Grandpa and Dallas

I love them.

Hank got in last night, safe and sound, and we are all happy to see him!

Christmas #2

Our first Christmas was with the Bowsers the weekend before we left for Texas. I didn't manage to take any pictures, but we had a really good time and loved all our gifts! The girls and I left Thursday morning so Wednesday night we let Parker open her presents that everyone had sent.

For some reason my camera took especially awful pictures. It's too late to ask for a new one for Christmas but maybe for my birthday...

Grandma and Grandpa Clay bought this for her while they were visiting in October. She was so so excited when she unwrapped it, she has been telling everyone that her Dad is at home with Miles and her kitchen.


Hank thought his gift from Grandma and Grandpa Nesbitt was hysterical. He couldn't wait to take it into work.

Hank stayed up late putting Parker's kitchen together (and cursing my parents) so that she would get to see it all together in the morning. He is a real good Dad.

Christmas Party and the Zoo

Our housing office put on a Christmas Party for the kids on Thursday. I really like their parties because they start early enough we can go before the big kids get out of school and invade. This time they brought in a machine and made a small hill of snow for the kids.

It was funny to have snow in 70 degree weather.

Parker would have just sledded for an hour straight if I had let her.
She got a heart and a flamingo tattoo from santa's elf.

Her other favorite part was the fact that they had a real reindeer there. He only had one antler because apparently they shed them every year and the other one had already fallen off. As we were leaving Parker walked right up to them and asked if she could help with the reindeer. They thought she was so cute about it they let her pet him for a few minutes (which the other kids didn't get to do).

This is the second time Parker has told a Santa that she wants an elephant for Christmas, and not a fake one, a real one that will live in her room. At least she's consistent.

On Friday we took our neighbors- Aimee, Gabriella, and Ian, to the zoo.

They had tons of Christmas decorations but this was my favorite.

Thankfully seeing the elephants in person made Parker realize that they are stinky and probably not a good addition to her room. She has since decided she wants a tiger.
