Keira's Project...

Keira got a laptop for Christmas..here she is talking on the phone and "working"

Christmas

There is so much to say about Christmas..we had a lot of fun and were very busy..it started on Christmas eve with Shane's family. We went to his Uncle Joey's for dinner and presents..It was fun..The following morning we got to wake up to see what Santa brought us...Austin decided it was time to get Keira up...



I started video taping the kids opening presents up, but decided it was more important and enjoyable to join in..Santa was VERY good to the kids..Austin got an airplane ride on that he "shares" with his sister...




After that we got ourselves motivated and headed out Bryan to spend the day my family..it was a lot of fun..the kids had a blast which is the most important thing..once again I opted for participating instead of recording, so there are just some pictures..Oh and once again "santa" was VERY good..Sunday had us hosting our own Christmas with my dad and cousin..my sister and nephew joined us as well..it was lots of fun..Shane cooked some good food, lots of desserts were eaten and too many presents opened..that would almost complete our holiday season..Except Mom still has something for the kiddos at her house, we have Shane's father to visit and some friends to catch up with..WOW...

I Thought Hurricane Season Was Over

So I spent 10 minutes on the phone booking Austin's birthday party..it's amazing what he can do in that space of time..

It's Not Always the Dog's Fault

I finally see that it's not always Tikaani's fault when she gets into trouble..sometimes she has help..


In case you are wondering, that's a candy cane that Austin stole off the tree

Her Inner "Martha"

It's a joke around the family that i have an inner "Martha"..well it looks like Keira is following in my footsteps...She loves to cook, but especially loves to bake..She had so much fun just rolling them out and decorating them..I told her I didn't care about the mess, have it..and she did !!!!



She is even so good she can bake and talk at the same time

Old School Christmas Lights

We took the kids to look at Christmas lights in this awesome neighborhood we go to every year..well we did it old school..we stopped and folded down the seats and let them run around the back of the car..Austin didn't really get it, but Keira had a blast..

Keira had so much fun..she yelled out the back Merry Christmas to everyone

Keira's Christmas Pageant

Keira's pre-school put on a Christmas pageant this year..it was alot of fun..this was my first time into that kind of "entertainment"..the whole thing was too long to post, but I did add a video of her "twirling"...Her teacher asked me if I knew what Keira's part was and when I told her Keira told me she didn't have part she corrected me..Keira is a twirling Angel she told me..Great I said, Keira loves to twirl..Yes, that's why we have twirling Angels this year..lol..It's great



Ellie twirled before Keira..I just wanted you to see the difference..

Christmas Tree..

Well we all know that we go every year and cut down our Christmas tree..this year we had to find a new place..it was great..they had a huge "valley", free hot dogs, a smores cook area and a tractor ride..the kids had a great time and we had a beautiful tree this year...

They did have a tire run there..PeePaw helped Keira with it..the guy that runs the farm said he has never seen a tire go so far..



As customary we normally have family come over and help decorate..this year we were joined by MeeMaw, PeePaw (Shane's parents), my dad and my cousin Johnna..it was a really good time..tamales, spiced wine and National Lampoon's Family Vacation...can you get better than that? We did have a "Keira hole" if you look at the decorating pictures you can see where there is a hole that is above Keira level, but below Momma level..lol..we did get it fixed..now we have a hole that is Austin level..ha ha ha

It's A Crazy Time

The holidays are finally over..It has been a crazy month..I can't believe that your son will be a year old in less than two weeks...I do have LOTS of videos and pics that I will be uploading "soon" so you can see what they have been up to this month..
