Christmas Joys, and Ice???

Sydney now thinks Christmas can't come without decorating a gingerbread house each year, and was thrilled when I told her we were doing one on Saturday.

Just some fun Sunday pics of the kids.



So we woke up this morning and assumed it was a regular day like any other. I got the girls up and started feeding them breakfast and thought I better just check outside since there was a light dusting of ice/sleet the night before. Nope, nothing, so surely we had school. Well, come to find out, school wasn't only delayed, but CANCELLED. Do you see all that snow and ice outside? ME EITHER! Crazy Texas.

Shy Stubbornness

This is the perfect term for Sydney, as you can see in her Preschool Christmas presentation. She flat out refused to sing one word or do one action. All the kids said "Happy Birthday Jesus" into the mic as they walked on stage, and of course, Sydney passed right by the microphone without even acknowledging it. He music teacher laughed and said "Sydney told me from day one that she wasn't going to say that. I knew she would stand by her word, too!"

My Boys

I found Carter reading a book and singing to Gavin this morning and had to capture it on video to remind me how sweet they are on those crazy days when they're driving me a bit bonkers!:)

Brighton's First Piano Recital

I realize this post may be mostly for grandparents, but had to do it anyway. I have been waiting for the day to have my children start piano lessons, and I finally started Brighton this summer. They had their Winter recital on Sunday and played fun, easier songs for this, but I loved seeing her perform. And she was even excited about it! Yea Brighton!
