10 Months Old

 Allison Michelle is 10 months old! We can hardly believe how much faster time is flying this time around. She is really getting to be a fast crawler and has started standing with support for long periods of time. She's not too much into trying to walk with assistance and gets frustrated when we try to get her to do that. She really digs feeding herself table food and we've eliminated all pureed food from her diet. She likes to jabber and can say dada, mama, sissy and ginger.

Much Love,

Merry Christmas 2015!

This year we celebrated Allison's first Christmas. It was so special to Daddy & Mommy to have both our precious girls here, happy and healthy. Our normal Christmas Eve tradition includes making cookies for Santa and reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas". We also fed Santa's reindeer by moonlight, Abby became worried that Santa would see her out of bed so she rushed back to her room and went to sleep so he would bring her presents.

 

Christmas morning Abby came excitedly into our room ready to open presents, she couldn't believe her eyes! We got sissy up and let the girls open their stockings while we waited for BB and Papa to join us for the opening of the rest of the gifts. Allison seemed to really enjoy tearing open the presents and was excited with all the new toys. Santa got the girls chairs that are perfect for each of their sizes. Allison is still a bit young to fully enjoy the chair, but she'll be there in no time.

 

After Christmas morning breakfast we spent the rest of the day being together and enjoying quiet family time before we headed up the hill to Kurt and Sarah's to celebrate with the Linds. We dressed the girls in their special Christmas outfits from Pop & Mumzie since Sally Kate had a matching outfit too. It was a very warm day, the temperatures reached sixty! We could hardly believe it, but we enjoyed spending the afternoon outside with all the cousins.

 

It was such a special Christmas having our complete family unit together. We are so blessed with such wonderful, sweet girls that make our family complete.

Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer

 

 

 



Creekmore Christmas Lights

It's that time of year again to get the kids together and go look at Christmas lights, while sipping hot cocoa and riding a train...We opted out of the hot cocoa this year when we went to look at the lights at the park since it was about 60 degrees when we went! None the less, the kids seemed to enjoy the train ride and lights. Santa was even there for Abby to say hello to!

Abby's Christmas Show

Abby's class performed their annual Christmas Carol show yesterday for the parents. We then got to stay afterward and have a yummy lunch with her. This year they split up the 3 and 4 year old classes, so the performance was longer. We also noticed what a difference a year makes, Abigail was now the loudest kiddo! We could hear her and her friend, Sam, the most. Abigail loved that mommy, daddy, BB and Papa came to watch her performance. We are so proud!

Breakfast with Santa

 
 

This weekend we went to have 'breakfast with Santa'. This is an annual event that we go to every December. It includes a breakfast buffet, arts & crafts tables and of course a picture with Santa. Allison was not too keen on sitting with Santa when we put her down at first, but then she calmed down. Abigail was very excited to see Santa and loved doing all the crafts.

9 Months Old!

Allison is 9 months old! She just started crawling and cut her first tooth! It is on the bottom middle. She also has started eating table food. She's over having someone feed her. She has actually been refusing pureed food all week, so we just started giving her smaller bites of what we're eating. The crawling seems to be a bit slow, but we're sure she'll be zooming all over the place soon. She's not one for sitting still! She is still quite happy and smiley most of the time. Usually, she only gets fussy when she's sleepy or hungry...sounds like mommy!

ICE and other happenings!

For the third year in a row we went to the Gaylord Texan ICE! exhibit the day after Thanksgiving. This year the theme was Christmas Around the World. We thought ahead and prepurchased our tickets so we didn't have to wait around this year for the exhibit. Although, we did have to wait some time for our pictures with Santa! The older kids really seemed to enjoy ice slide and even got to go on the "big one" this year. Allison and mommy watched as they went sliding. Maybe next year she'll be able to go up with Abigail. After ICE! we headed back to the lake house for some relaxation. Then Daddy & Mommy went to a concert with Chia and RyRy. It was a great time and a nice adult outing for all of us!

 

Much Love,

Thanksgiving 2015

Allison's first Thanksgiving was a success. As usual, we were in Texas to celebrate. We went over to Saul's house on Wednesday and Thursday morning to celebrate the special day. Then we headed to the Cowboys game. It was Allison's first game and she did so great! She really loves family get togethers. Allison even practiced crawling on the floor during the game....she's almost there! She also got her first tooth cut on the morning of Thanksgiving! Abigail also enjoyed herself during the game too, she colored and played with her cousins throughout the game.

Much love,
Moises & Jennifer
