Christmas 2017!

What a special Christmas! It was our first Christmas in the new house and we were excited to be hosting family and friends on the big day. On Christmas Eve we had a nice low key dinner courtesy of Mumzie. The girls made cookies for Santa and sprinkled the lawn with reindeer food. They were quick to hop in bed knowing that Santa was on his way, but wouldn't visit if they were still awake. Christmas morning they woke up bright and early ready to see all their goodies. It really was a precious time to watch them both unwrap their gifts and open their stockings. 

The rest of Christmas day happened so fast! We had guests arriving and going throughout the day. By the evening we had over 30 friends and family for dinner. Most of the younger Linds ended up staying the night, good job kids! All in all it was a wonderful Christmas, one that will not soon be forgotten.

Much Love,

Abby's Gingerbread House

Abigail's class celebrated the last day of school before Christmas by having a Gingerbread House making party. The whole class created their own unique gingerbread house and got to have a big party to celebrate their last day of school. Abigail was very proud of her house and we have it on display with the other Christmas decorations.

Allison's Christmas Program

Allie had her first Christmas program this week. We were so looking forward to seeing our Allie girl sing. She loves singing and spends most of her days dancing or singing. However, we quickly realized that Allie was not in the mood to sing during her Christmas program. She ended up sucking on her finger throughout the entire program all the while looking at us with a very mischievous smile. Afterwards, we asked her why she had her fingers in her mouth, she replied that she "didn't feel like singing"! Whew, we are in for it....

Breakfast with Santa

This weekend we went to have Breakfast with Santa and had a special guest with us, Sally Kate. The girls were so excited to have Sally Kate join in and SK was excited to be there too! We arrived and had a delicious breakfast, afterwards the girls took photos with Santa and then made crafts. It was a fun morning for mom & dad too, we enjoyed mimosas while the girls entertained themselves!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in Dallas this year. On Thanksgiving morning we headed over to Saul's house for Thanksgiving lunch with the Ledezmas. Bibi and Jorge just got a puppy, Pickles, and both of the girls were thrilled. They are animal lovers so they spent the morning playing outside with Pickles. It was so great to see everyone since we've been so busy this year, it was nice to take a short break to appreciate our family and enjoy everyone's company. 

After lunch we headed to the Cowboys game and had a special treat to go to the field after the game, even though the Cowboys didn't win, we all had a great time. Thanks to BB for setting up the after game fun. 

We certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year and every year. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends, just like we did.

Much Love,

ICE!

This weekend we headed down to Texas to visit the annual ICE! Exhibit at the Gaylord. This year the theme was "Twas the night before Christmas". We were all very excited to see the exhibit, but shortly after donning our heavy parkas to walk through cold exhibit, Allison was not too excited. She didn't care for all the people around or or the cold and insisted that one of us carry her through the exhibit. Abigail on the other hand enjoyed all the sculptures and explored everything. 

It was such a fun time with everyone!

Much Love,

Anniversary & Princess Party

Saturday, we signed the girls up for the annual DBS princess party which benefits a local charity. They dressed up in their princess costumes and were assigned a "princess" to do their makeup and hair. At the end of it, the girls went on stage to show off their new look. The really enjoyed being pampered for an afternoon. Saturday was also Allie's real first sleepover with BB & Abby. She was so excited to be staying at BB's house! On Sunday BB took the girls to the park with some of her friends' grandkids.

While the kids were gone, mommy & daddy planned a special evening to celebrate 7 years of marriage! We had a nice dinner out to celebrate. It was our first date in a while since we've been focused on the house, that slipped to the bottom of the list. We really enjoyed reconnecting and being together one on one to remind us of why we fell in love to begin with!
