More Christmas 2010

Keith and I took the girls to see Santa at Bass Pro on Wednesday. It was fun; the wait was crazy but it wasn't too bad! I did feel badly for people with little bitty ones; they weren't as patient!

After that, we went looking at Christmas lights. Saw some beautiful ones in The Shores!

Thursday night, we met mom and dad at the early Christmas Eve Service at Lakepointe Church. It was amazing (as always). We took some fun photos afterwards complete with Grann and the girls throwing snow on everyone.

Today, in the car, we used my new iphone to read the account of Christ's birth found in Luke. It was very special as Madeline requested to hear it. I've read it many times in the past but this is the first time she asked and will probably remember!

The Holidays

The holidays have been busy for us already! As a matter of fact, we are pretty much done with the family celebrating...it makes it nice because we are able to relax from here on out and just focus on the girls!

Thanksgiving occurred a few weeks ago at my Aunt's house in Georgetown. Everyone was able to make it so it was a WONDERFUL time. It had been years since we were all able to be together. Aunt Laurie and Uncle Lee bought a nice piece of property about a year ago and it was beautiful!

We had the entire Harris family here last weekend. That was nice too! I was able to keep my stress level in check by making sure everything was simple and organized. We had a GREAT time and it was especially nice celebrating Leslie and Gregg's news....they are expecting a baby!

Today, Keith's parents and brother and sister were able to spend the morning and early afternoon with us. We also kept things simple and it made for a relaxing day! I've spend most of this evening uploading tons of pictures from my camera to the computer (think I had over 500...I know, CRAZY)! After watching the cowboy game together they headed back home. Now it's just me and the girls and it's staying pretty quiet around here. I LOVE this time of year!

Christmas

I am hosting the Harris Family Christmas tomorrow, December 11th, at 4:00. I am very excited but had sooo much to do today. I took off work so that I could clean and organize without the presence of my children! Keith was home this morning and was able to finally finish my new kitchen table! I LOVE IT (picture posted). He is such an amazingly talented man:)

Anyways, on Sunday, we are having our immediate family Christmas (taking advantage of having Sarah and Les and Gregg around) at mom's. I think we are having a breakfast/brunch together. Should be an action-packed weekend full of fun and love and Christmas cheer!
