Christmases

Christmas started early for us this year. We had our first celebration with the Terral/Kendrick/O'hara bunch the first weekend of December. I didn't take too many pictures, but I did get some of Carter and Madeline. It was so fun to see them together since they are only 3 weeks apart. I love that my kids have cousins close in age. Max had a ball playing with his uncles and his cousin Isabel or as he says it: Ee-bowl.

Carter & Maddie 5 months

Our next celebration was Shawn's company party. We were lucky enough to have my parents and my Aunt Amy and cousin Jessica come in to help with the kids. Thanks so much!! The party was fun. I was so excited to dress up, I even wore my 3 inch heels!! It was at the Houston Country Club, which is in a very ritzy part of town. We had cocktails and hor d'oeuvres, a fabulous meal and all you can eat dessert (including Bananas Foster). Its no wonder I haven't lost a pound! We danced a few songs and it was so nice to have some time alone --well as alone as you can get at a company party. Good times!

Then we went to the StrollerFit X-mas party. This party was more intimate, but so much fun. We had drink, dinner, dessert AND a really fun white elephant exchange. Shawn had a great time meeting the other dads of the group.

Our next Christmas will be tomorrow. I am making Pozole for dinner and we'll watch movies and maybe play some games. Then we'll head to bed early so we can wake up early Christmas Day for presents and a big lunch. We are looking forward to having family over for some of the fun. Will post pictures soon.
