Max also enjoys the tree and just hanging out.
And we have an extra stocking for my Dad who is coming for Christmas!
And it's the holiday season so it is time to bake!
These were for a bake sale at school.
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
And it isn't really Christmas until we make saltine toffee!
And I guess making all this yummy food made the fish hungry because they started eating our ghost shrimp.
One of the most exciting things that has happened is Natalie had her first piano recital! She did so good and we were so proud.It was at her teachers house and it was so sweet.
Waiting her turn.
In the program.

The freeze in Dallas this past week had an impact on our food supply!
I love when I get to spy on Julia at preschool.
We finally moved Julia's stable from the pantry to her room and she has enjoyed it! Here she is reading horsey books to her horses.
I attempted the cinnamon rolls on a waffle maker and they were yummy!
Julia and Natalie playing horses in their new hats and scarves.
Helping Mommy shop!
Julia very much enjoying a musical concert I took her to.
Mom's tree all ready for Christmas.
Our tree all ready for Christmas with a mischievous elf that decided to add it's own decorations.
The girls waiting, not so patently for our car to be washed.
I had no idea that Julia looked like this while we were grocery shopping! Clean up on aisle one!

Our house all lit up!
The girls this year really got into helping us wrap!
Natalie has no fear of Santa. She totally understands that he brings gifts.
