Tomorrow is Christmas Eve

Well tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we have to take Maggie to the Vet to get her checked out and possibly get some shots. Then tomorrow evening we will be headed to my Mom & Dad's house for our annual Christmas Eve pizza and open our Christmas PJ's. I am going to take the gifts from the girls to have them give to thier cousins and then we will head home. We have been letting Bekka open up a Christmas/Winter book every night for the last 10 days and she only has 2 left, one for tonight and one for tomorrow night. Tomorrow nights is 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Then it will be off to bed for the kiddo's so that Santa can come and visit our home.

This is our 2nd Christmas without Abbigale and for some reason this year seems so much harder for me and I am not sure why. I miss my little girl and I hope she knows how much we love and miss her! I miss those mornings when she would sit in my lap and snuggle. Depending on how busy traffic is and such tomorrow, I want to stop and get some red & green balloons to release in our front yard to wish her a Merry Christmas.

Well, from our home to yours, Merry Christmas. I will try to post some pictures of the events of the next few days soon.

Our New Puppy!!!

We picked her up on Wednesday at the airport (she flew in from Wisconsin). Up until Friday evening she didn't have a name and now she is known as Maggie or Mags for short. She looks alot like Sammy and we are really enjoying her. She is alot more work than Catie is because we are having to train her to let us know when she needs to go potty and we have to take her outside alot. She is about 14 wks old now (not much older than Catie). I will post some pictures of her this afternoon after I take some outside!

Catie's 2 Month Appt

Catie had her 2 month appt on Friday and had to get shots. She now weighs in at 11 lbs 4 oz and is growing right on track! After her shots, she did have a low grade fever that wasn't to bad and we controlled it with Infant Tylenol.

I also received back her 1 month pictures and will post them once I can find my scanner downstairs in the basement. I had her 2 month pictures taken some of them with Bekka last week also and I will get those back on January 4th. Hopefully by then I will have my scanner up and running to be able to post them!

Breakfast with Santa

For the last few years at my Mom's office, they have breakfast with Santa and I get to go and take the pictures of all of the children sitting on Santa's lap. It is alot of fun. Here are some pics of the girls with Santa! :)











Bekka's First Christmas Concert @ School




Bekka sang at her first Christmas Concert on Friday the 14th of December and did a great job! We are so proud of her. She is really growing up so fast. Her favorite Christmas song that they sang was Little Drummer Boy.




Building A Snowman/Tree


We got home from 80 degree Texas weather to snow!!! Bekka wanted to go outside and build a snowman/tree, not sure which she built, but she had a great time doing it!


Trip to San Antonio, Texas

We went to San Antonio the first week of December and had a great time. Travis went hunting and fishing while I, Debra and the kids went to do other things. We did all go to Sea World before we left and had a great time there!
