Jolly Old St. Nick

Tonight we took P to meet Santa. I was super excited to see how Pierce would react the 'jolly ol' elf." Needless to say, he didn't disappoint with his reaction.

Walking up to Santa...very interested in giving him a high five

being put on Santa's lap...not interested at all

Before the tears, Pierce enjoyed playing around Santa's set up.

Santa's Village

On Sunday evening we headed to Santa's Village in Richardson with the Atkinsons. This little village was unbelievable and free!! There were millions of lights, cute little houses for the kids to walk through, music playing, and food to eat. Pierce and Sydney had a great time walking around and seeing all the sights. We definitely be going back next year.

Burdett Tacky Christmas

On Saturday night, Justin and I went to Cason and Regan's Tacky Christmas party. This annual party is definitely one of my most favorite holiday activities.

Vintage Christmas

Last Sunday night, we had our first Vintage Class Christmas Party. It was a great time of fellowship with some very sweet and precious friends. We decided to have the party sans kids and to be honest it was quite nice not to have to chase little ones all over the place. Although the pictures don't show it - our husbands were there. :)

Pierce and his buddy, Josh

On Tuesday and Thursdays, Pierce has a sweet friend at MaraLee's, Josh. Josh and Pierce have so much fun together racing cars and chasing each other all over MaraLee's house. This morning they enjoyed a little time watching TV together, cuddled up.

Christmas Party - "Elementary Teacher" Style

What do you get when you combine a group of elementary teachers, matching t-shirts, Christmas spirit, and America's past time - bowling?  A Bluebonnet Faculty Christmas party, of course!

belly button

Pierce is doing so many fun, new things.  One of my favorites is when we ask him to show us his belly button.  Usually he rubs his belly, but today he pulled up his shirt to show me.  Too cute!!
