White Christmas!

Well I would not have believed it unless I had seen it....but we had a White Christmas in Dallas Texas!! Sooooo strange and wonderful! We were running late to get to my parents house but I had to take some pictures of Stella in the snow. She did not quite know what to do with herself!! She just kept staring at it and did not like it to get on her fancy shoes...but it was pretty cute!

Christmas Day at Mimi and Papa's

After we opened Santa presents at the house on Christmas Day we went over to Mimi and Papa's to see what Santa brought us there! It was so cold and icy still but we made it just fine!! Stella got a really cute little kitchen and a table and chairs! She also got Elmo live which she thinks is hilarious!! It dances and sings and sits down in a chair...it is hilarious!! She just stares at it and does not know what to think! Stella loved cooking in her kitchen and making tea for everyone! It was so cute....and she was so happy! After we all opened presents we had lunch and Stella took a nap over at Mimi and Papas!! That gave us enough time to get home and get everything up before Papa brought her back over! It was soooo much fun and I cannot believe that Christmas is over!! Kinda sad....but I am glad we had a blast and got to see everyone!

Christmas Day at Home

We had a great Christmas morning!! Stella woke up and we let her run in and play with all of her new toys! Santa brought her an easel, and big teddy bear, a wagon of blocks and a cute playhouse with dolls in it! She was so excited, well maybe not about everything and only about the easel! She loved it soooo much! She just ignored everything else and just wanted to draw and play with the easel. It was too funny....but at least she liked something!!

Christmas Eve!!

We had a great Christmas Eve!! Snow and all!! Well a lot of snow actually. We could not go to church because it was too cold but we did go to Trulucks for dinner and then braved the crazy weather to go to Mumzie's for Christmas Eve! There were some crazy drivers out there...but we did just fine! Stella had so much fun opening presents this year...she loved ripping all of the paper off the presents and she thought all of them were for her! She kept saying "Stella's??" and trying to steal everyone elses presents! It was so funny. She got some amazing presents too! She got a precious pink tricycle and some magnet fishing toys as well as some other really cute things! We had a blast on Christmas Eve and here are some cute pictures!

Stella and John's Christmas Party

Stella and John had their precious Christmas Party again this year and it was soooo much fun! Stella and I got there early to help set up and then all of our friends came over!! We had a great ornament and gift exchange for the kiddos and I think they all had soooo much fun!! I cannot wait for the party next year! :)

Santa at the Chi Omega Christmas Market


I just remembered that I never posted this picture!! It is sooooo funny. We took Stella and Cort to the Chi Omega Christmas market to get their picture taken with Santa Clause...I had a feeling that it was not going to go well....but I had no idea how bad!! She was soooo scared! We tried to let Cort go first...but it did not help at all! The picture is a classic though and I love it!

Children's Museum

Today we met with our MOPS playgroup at the Children's Museum for super fun playdate! We have never been there before and Stella loved it! Everything was hands on and at their level. They had a little farm, a fire engine, a little house, a small city, a water splash area and a fun tunnel and spider web with some scary bugs in cages. All in all Stella loved it soooo much! We are going back soon for sure!!

Playing in the backyard!

The weather finally warmed up a little this weekend so we got to take Stella outside to play! She loves "flying" in the air...since I got the new camera I can finally get some shots of her flying! She is pretty cute in her jammies and Ugg boots....funny stuff! She is also giving kisses in exchange for things she wants...fine with me!! I love kisses from my baby girl! :)

Christmas Brunch at Bent Tree

After church we went to Bent Tree for lunch and they were having their annual Christmas Brunch! They had their big Christmas tree up and they had carolers (spelling?) there and Stella was in love with them! She just sat and stared and said "One More Time??" every time they stopped! So cute...

Counting to 10!!

Stella has a new trick!! She is soooo cute! She started this at my moms house...she had crayons out and my mom asked her how many there were and she counted all 10 of them!! Now that is all she wants to now! I finally got it on video and it is super cute!

Playdate at our house!!

Today we had everyone over to our house for a Playdate after school! It was so much fun!! The kiddos played and then Cort and Ella stayed over to have pizza for dinner! I totally forgot to take pictures of them eating!! So silly of me....but here are some cute pictures. In the middle of the playdate I caught Stella and Cort playing and kissing in the playroom...those sneaky kids!

Playdate at Katelyn's!!

We had a great playdate at Katelyn's yesterday!! Also...I got to open my Christmas present early....and it was a new camera!! I am super excited and I was a little shutter happy at this playdate! But it is great!! I took some precious pictures of the kiddos....they found this Chicken Dance toy that Katelyn has and thought it was hilarious! They were dancing and screaming for about 30 minutes playing with it! So funny....they really are getting to be big kids now...they are pretty precious! You can tell Stella knows who Santa is at the end of the video...she gets a little distracted!

Decorating the Tree!!

Last night we put on some Christmas music...made some hot chocolate and got our Christmas tree up! Stella loved looking at all of the lights!! We got a new tree this year and it is perfect!! Stella got to put the angel on the top of the tree again, and she did it with no help!! Then we let her put a few ornaments up....until she started pulling them all off and broke a few...so we went to time out and we have not touched the tree since!! It was a whole lot of fun and I cannot wait for Christmas this year!!
