Preschool and Children's Choir

The Preschool and Children's choir performances were
last Sunday night.  Both Avery and Aaron participated
this year and it was Aaron's first year in the big kid choir.

Avery's age sang 3 Christmas tunes and Aaron's group
put on Isiah Jones - Search for the Lost Christmas Treasure.

Aaron played a cactus -- and a HUGE thank you to
Gram for sewing on the pipe cleaners to his costume!

Christmas list time

One day I came home from the store to find about 30 sales papers blowing all across our front lawn... We aren't sure where they came from but I had Aaron run out and collect them! They kids had a blast cutting the pictures of the things they wanted for Christmas and glued them to paper to make their Christmas lists!

Breakfast with this beauty

Decorating for Christmas

Happy 7th Birthday!!

Happy 7th birthday to our big boy! We
love you so much!

Disguise the Turkey

Aaron's class was given a project of
disguising a turkey so that he is not dinner
on thanksgiving.  He chose to disguise
his turkey as a tiger cub scout.  I think he
did a great job!  He said some of this other
friends chose a mermaid, a basketball player,
a dancer, and a deer!

2014 Texas Renaissance Festival

This weekend we took a quick trip to Houston to attend
the Renaissance Festival.  Notice that we reused our
halloween costumes as well.  Andrew and I went to the
festival about 12 years ago so we were excited to go
back and this time take the kids! We all had so much fun
watching the jousting event and the birds of prey show.
There were rides for the kids and lots of shops to look in.

Avery had her hair braided ... mommy really wishes she
could braid her hair!

There was also lots and lots of good food to eat.  One
of our favorite things was the kettle corn!

Houston Zoo

We decided to spend the morning at the Houston Zoo
before heading back home... and we get in free since
we have a membership to the BR zoo.  This zoo was really
great and it was a beautiful morning to see animals.

Sweet Baby Jackson

Uncle Jake surprised  us with a quick
visit with cousin Jackson! We were all
so excited to see our sweet baby.  Here
are a few attempts to get some pictures
while he was visiting.

Happy Early Birthday!

Pop Pop, JuJu, Uncle Jake, and
Jackson came to visit us on election
day since the kids were out of school.

They brought Aaron a birthday cake
and present for a early birthday
celebration since we really haven't
planned anything for his birthday this
year...mainly because he won't decide
what he wants to do.
