Fun in the Sun

We took advantage of the nice weather and had lunch at the park. Other than the nasty scrape Payton got on his stomach, the kids had a good time playing outside. Did I mention that I am loving this weather? Winter in the 70's...Gotta Love it.

Fun and Games...

The kids loved all the fun games that Grandma and Grandpa brought and played with them. Payton really bonded with "his Papa" this trip.

Christmas Morning...

A few pictures of Christmas morning… Savannah was thrilled to get a Nintendo Wii and electric piano…Payton got a Lightning Macqueen Bike and Speed Racer toys. We had an extra special day since Grandma and Grandpa and Kelsey were here with us. The kids were so excited to finally have Christmas here. Payton has been asking for weeks "is it Christmas yet?"

Christmas Eve

My parents and younger sister came to Texas for Christmas. We were thrilled to have some family come and spend the Holidays with us. We went to Southlake Town Square on the 24th and enjoyed the neat Holiday decorations and lights. The kids played outside and thoroughly enjoyed running around since it was such amazing weather in the upper 70’s. We shopped a bit and just really enjoyed being together. That evening we went back to my sisters where the kids got matching pajama’s, played Christmas games provided by Grandpa and Grandma, and Aunt Jenn helped the kids with a Nativity Scene. We also enjoyed yummy appetizers and French Dip Sandwiches with Cheesy Potato Soup. It was so neat having my parents and sister here to enjoy this special time with us.

The North Pole Express

The last day of school before Christmas break I got some free tickets to The North Pole Express Train Ride in Grapevine. I took my two along with my sisters little boys. We were rushed to get to Grapevine on time since tickets were for the 4:00 train ride. The kids had a lot of fun…They had it snowing as we boarded the train and had music playing from The Polar Express Movie as well as a visit from Santa. The kids enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching them just as much. One of the workers made a comment that made me think…She said just enjoy this moment because you will only be in this very moment once.

Savannah's 2nd Grade School Christmas Party

I am a bit behind on my posts due to preparations of getting ready for Christmas. This was Savannah's School Christmas Party and her last day before Christmas Break. It was so much fun to go and participate and to see her in a school setting with her teacher and her friends. I am so glad I took the time and feel like I need to do this more often.

Payton's Results..

GREAT NEWS…Payton’s scans were all clean. What a relief…I make myself sick worrying about this and am so relieved we have another clean scan behind us. It was a typical, crazy day at the clinic, lots of kids, no rooms, and a long wait. After waiting two hours Payton and I were ready to go home and now we can face what’s ahead of us with this great news. We are looking forward to Christmas and my parents flying in on the 23rd to celebrate with us. My mind is now at ease (for another 3 months anyway) and I can focus on getting ready for the Holidays. Thanks to everyone for the prayers, love and concern and thanks to Lisa watching Savannah and for dinner last night, it was great not to have to worry about coming home and cooking after a long day.
