Holiday Time!!

Well... our holiday has been action packed!! We took a trip down to Louisiana for Thanksgiving to visit the Loeffler family. Caroline rode the entire 8 hours without a peep. She was an awesome traveler. We got to spend a lot of time with Steve's family and had a great time! Ever since we got back from Louisiana it has been non-stop (just the way we like it). We went out to Terrell, Texas to cut down our very own Christmas tree. Caroline had an absolute blast. She helped Daddy and Grandad cut down the perfect trees. She even invented a game with Uncle Ben called tree jumping. She LOVED the little trees and decided it was pretty much fun to jump over them all. It was hilarious!! We cooked hot dogs by the fire and even roasted marshmallows. We had a great time. Nana and Papa came to visit us this year for Christmas and it was a GREAT visit. Caroline and I made homemade sugar cookies for Papa. As you can see from the pictures, she had a great messy time. I loved every minute of it even though I felt like I lost control (there was sugar and sprinkles everywhere). We celebrated Christmas Eve with my family at my parents house. Caroline opened everyone's presents and was pretty much the star of the show (only grandchild syndrome). We spent Christmas morning opening presents and lounging around at our house and then had lunch at my Aunt and Uncles house. We spent Christmas evening at my parents house opening more presents. Caroline was just a bit spoiled this year... We are truly blessed to have spent such a wonderful holiday with our family and friends. Happy New Year!!! Enjoy the pictures.

Happy Halloween!!

Well... it's that time again, more pictures of Caroline!! Caroline got to pick out any halloween costume she wanted and she chose Alice from Alice in Wonderland. She has absolutely no idea who Alice is but the dress sure was sparkly and glittery. It absolutely thrilled me that she picked Alice, that is one of my all time favorite movies and Caroline sure fit the part. She LOVED trick-or-treating and quickly picked up on the concept of smiling and then grabbing candy from the bowl. She was a pro. Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. Enjoy the pictures!!

More Fall Fun!

Well... October has been action packed and FULL of fun! Steve and I both have our ten year high school reunions this month. Nana came in town to baby-sit so we could go to Steve's reunion. We fit in a reunion, a trip to the Dallas aquarium, and of course the Arboretum while Nana was here. Caroline also moved into her BIG girl bed and LOVES it. She stays in her bed all night and when she wakes up in the mornings, she reads in her bed until we go get her (she sleeps until 8:30, wahoo). Steve and I also took Caroline to Lowe's to build a cool flapping bat. Caroline got her own safety glasses, apron, a hammer, nails and a wooden bat to make. Super cute and fun to watch her bang her hammer on everything in sight! She is going to be a great builder like her daddy! Fall is off to a great start!

BIG Orange Pumpkin FUN!!

What a GREAT way to start off October! We took a little day trip to the BIG orange pumpkin farm with the Glasco's. We had an awesome time. The weather was perfect and the girls had a blast. They got to feed animals, go on a hayride, eat hotdogs, go on a train ride, play chase and of course pick a pumpkin. It is so much fun to watch Peyton and Caroline play with each other. They are going to be such great friends. When I looked back at the pictures it made me think about how much Caroline and Peyton look like Chels and I did a LONG time ago. They are going to make such fun memories together. Enjoy and happy fall!
