12.18.09 -- School Christmas Party

Today (after a mad dash back to town last night) Grant was at school for his First Grade Christmas party. It was really cute, the room mom did a great job and the kiddos had a great time. Aubrey really enjoyed all of the excitment. We try to keep her away from big crowds so this was the first time that she has gone to Grant's class and she loved all of the children. After a quick trip by the front office to say hello we went home to start the extended holiday!

12.17.09 -- The Polar Express Train

Today we went on the Polar Express Train ride on the Texas State Train that runs from Palestine to Rusk and it was such a neat treat. On the way down they punched the tickets, sang songs, danced, passed out hot chocolate and cookies to everyone. On the way back there was a visit from Santa and he passed out bells to all of the Children. It was a really neat event and was even a more special treat because my Friend April and her two boys and several of my cousins and their families joined us as well. It was a very special evening!

12.14.09 -- Christmas Card 2009

Tonight we took our annual Christmas Photo for our Christmas Card. I am not able to upload the actual card because I ended up cheating this year and put my photos on a template from a lab and that was the card this year. It is very different but we are surviving and making the best of the situation.

12.10.09 -- Plant Christmas Party

Tonight when I arrived home from work there was a mad dash to get ready for the Plant Christmas Party. I was really worried because I remember David and I attending last year, but I ended up having a really nice time. I sat with several really fun people and I really enjoyed getting out without the kiddos!

12.9.2009 -- Aubrey's Crawling!

Today Aubrey starting crawling and it is so cute. She is not proficient at it but it is crawling none the less! We are so proud of her, she is progressing so well!

11.20.09 -- Katelyn

I would like to ask for prayers for a dear friend of mine's little girl Katelyn. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma and we need all the prayers we can get. I have included a link to her website below if you are interested. It has been really rough and has really made me almost live all of our situation again. She was the flowergirl in our wedding and I remember camping out at the hospital when she was born! God is good and I know it is all going to work out according to his plan.
