Well, we had an awesome Thanksgiving - now onto Christmas! Sorry for no posts of Thanksgiving. We ate turkey, had tons of company, went "Black Friday" shopping, etc - you get the picture....
It started with Jilian and I on a baking frenzie. We made 7 different types of cookies, and they were all scrumptious....
Then, we took the girls ice skating at the Galleria. They did a lot better this year than last. Although, I have to say that the money we spent on ice skating lessons - really NOT worth it! Oh well, they had fun anyway!
So, on Christmas Eve, I had to work from 8am to 1pm, and I have to say that it was a vacation from the madness at my house. Brad, Janie and PopPop took the kids to see the trains at NorthPark Mall.
On Christmas Eve, we went to Prestonwood Baptist Church for Christmas Eve service. We ventured out in the "Christmas Eve Blizzard 2009"! And, boy was it cold. We got to see Miss Sarah, and that was so exciting!
We even caught a glimpse of Santa on Christmas Eve.
So, on Christmas morning, Mimi, Poppi, PopPop and the Wileys were at our house.
Jilian got what she wanted from Santa.....Hello Kitty Makeup!
It was a hit - you should see my kitchen table....
Mimi and Poppi got a web cam so they can now SEE us when they call. Now, if only they could figure out how to use it.....
The girls also got a cupcake maker.....yuumm....that was a mess.....
We have a tradition at our house where all the wrapping paper goes in one BIG pile called the trash pile. We all take turns being burried in it and covering each other up....
And, of course it wouldn't be Christmas without a SNOWBALL FIGHT!!
Next stop - Tulsa, Oklahoma....stay tuned for more Christmas events....
