Going for a ride!

Colin loves to get into Julia's bed

Extreme bed head!

Colin came across a soft sheet in a laundry pile and dragged it with him and kept it when I put him in the high chair. Anytime he comes across any cloth item he tucks it under his wrist and sucks his fingers.

About to sneak up the stairs!

Playing with her new T-Ball set that she got for Christmas

Sitting with Uncle Dennis

Black beans are messy!

Naptime at Mamaw & Papaw's house. For whatever reason we didn't have her books to take to bed so we gave her some catalogs and magazines. Looks like she fell asleep while turning a page.

Colin loves books!

Silly girl!

Yo Gabba Gabba

We got tickets to the Yo Gabba Gabba Live show and went with the Ramirez family. The big girls really enjoyed it and the babies did well too.

Tacky Sweater Party

We hosted our second Tacky Sweater party and had lots of fun. Micah came over and took the kids upstairs to give them dinner, entertain them, and put them to bed so we could enjoy the party. It was fun to see the terrible sweaters everyone wore. Here are some pictures.

Winner (by popular vote) of the prize for tackiest sweater. Even funnier that this sweater came from his mother-in-law's closet.

Christmas Program

Here are pictures and a video clip of Julia's Christmas Program at school. She did so well with the singing and hand motions - she makes us so proud!

Dedicating Colin

We had Colin's dedication at church on Sunday, December 11, 2012 at First Baptist Georgetown. We were pleased to have some family with us at the service. We acknowledge that our precious child is a gift from God and belongs to Him, and we commit to raising him before God. It is our prayer that one day Colin will come to know Jesus Christ as his personal savior and Lord.

Colin's 1st Birthday Party

Colin's 1st birthday party was lots of fun! We had a good turnout of both family and friends. He seemed to enjoy it too.

Cheese!

Just feeling the icing. Not sure about it.

Alright...enough of this!

Picture with Santa

We took the kids to see Santa at the Christmas Stroll, something we hope to do each year. Julia did really well and actually smiled nicely. Colin didn't like Santa at all!
