Merry Merry Christmas!

Cousin Christmas

We are spending Christmas with my inlaws in good ol west Texas! It's nice to be away from the big city hustle and bustle, driving the country roads and seeing a lot of stars at night!

We have been enjoying spending time with family and watching all the cousins play together. There are six grand kids under 5 years old! So they are having a blast together. It's a little bit crazy at times, but then we just send them outside to play! :)

We ventured out to the mall to take pictures with Santa yesterday. It took 10 minutes! Seriously. And it was so easy! No one cried and Parker is playing with Santa's beard in the picture! Ha! Ill try to post it next time! But until then here is the cousin clan:

CYP girls dinner

I have been friends with Kimmy, Kim and LeighAnne since 7th grade. That means for 16 years! Growing up it was often Christmas night we would end up together at the movies, at each others houses or all talking on the phone at the same time.

So somewhere down the line we started "CYP girls dinner". This year we had a delicious dinner and chatted the night away. It was fun catching up and just being together. I hope we can always do these, even when we are old and gray! Love you girls so much!

Crazy Morning, Lazy Afternoon

This morning:

-started off around 7am with me still asleep and Bryson handing Parker to me in bed trying to wake me up

-Bad coffee

-Violet probably had 5 timeouts before 10am

-lots of quick meltdowns by V

-lots of snacks

-one brave yet successful trip to Target at noon

This afternoon:

-both kids ate SO much for lunch

-both napped from 2-430pm!!! (They rarely sleep this long at the SAME time!)

-I caught up on 3 episodes RHBH while they napped

-sweet cuddles

-cooked a new dinner meal

-I'm pretty sure Parker signed "more" at dinner

-Games with V to end the night
