The Girl's First Texas Snow Day!

Yesterday the girls awakened to no school and snow! It wasn't much snow but it was enough to bring joy to their hearts. They were praying so hard for some snow and God answered their prayers.

This will go down as a very memorable moment in the girls lives!

We went to visit...

Santa this morning!

Awana Car Race

Emily took 1st place in design and 2nd in speed within her age group.

I took 1st in speed and 1st in design within the leaders.

Amy took 2nd in speed within her age group and she took 1st place over all. Amy's car was the grand winner!!!

I am so thankful to have such a talented husband!!!

Emily's Swim Meet

Ok, so I got a new camera and I love it!!! I got some great pictures of Emily at last nights swim meet.

Here she is doing freestyle.

Here she is doing backstroke.

Piano Recitals

Amy preformed "Twinkle Twinkle."

Emily preformed "Rainbows are beautiful."

Emily's Living Museum Project

Emily was Pocahontas for her Living Museum Project. Each child in her class picked a famous person that they had to research and come dressed as their famous person to school. They memorized a few facts about their famous person and when you touched their button they came to life and said their speech. Emily did a wonderful job! Believe it or not David cut and sewed the costume. He did a great job!!! Emily had fun researching Pocahontas and learned so much.

Spring Break at American Girl Store

We had a wonderful Spring Break. We decided to take the girls to the American Girl Store to celebrate Emily (early birthday) and Amy's Birthday's!

The girls had their very first American Girl Doll's hair done at the Salon. Make sure you look at Amy's doll hair closely.

Look at the miracles that can be done at the American Girl Salon.

Amy's doll is on the bottom shelf.

We ate at the American Girl Bistro Restaurant and had Birthday cake and ice cream.



Happy Birthday Girl's!



The girls love playing with their new dolls. Amy picked out Lanie and Emily picked out Julie.
It was a dream come true for Emily and Amy!

Emily's First Reconciliation

Emily's First Reconciliation took place on January 23rd. When she was done she said she felt so much more peace within her.

What have we been up to?

Look at my angels smile!

Emily and Amy had their first Piano Recital's at the beginning of December and they both did so wonderful!

Emily's Brownie troop got together to make cookies for the wounded soldiers, Amy came to help too. An added bonus was when they had a surprise visit from Mr. and Mrs. Clause.

Emily and Amy also went Caroling at a nursing home last weekend.

Here are the snowman pretzels I made for Amy's Daisy meeting this week.

The girls are having fun and are so excited about their Christmas Parties tomorrow at school and starting Christmas Vacation!
