E Cleaning...

I had just finished cleaning house, and I saw E running to my bathroom. (I had just set my gloves and sponge to dry in there...) The next thing I knew, E had the gloves and sponge, and was in the girls bathroom 'cleaning' herself...

Just needs to be a little taller!

Can't wait til she can really help clean -- and not just make a water mess. :) 

Dancing Together

"A" calls this purple scarf her 'wedding thingy'. She remembers Aunt Mandy's wedding veil, and has worn this scarf ever since. I've started tying it under the girls chin so it stays... They love it, and often dance to their music together with it. 

Uncle Rub's Birthday

Uncle Rub's big 4-0 birthday was this year. His sweet wife planned a surprise party for him a couple months later. I was so proud of her -- she did a fantastic job!! 

The cake -- German Chocolate, with coconut-pecan frosting, and German Chocolate Ganache.

His arrival! Pretty sure he was completely surprised!

Reading Books with Mrs. Cheryl

Happy times!

Aspen's favorite place to be when Uncle Rub is around!

Fitting dresses...

The Lord blest me with the opportunity to raise some extra Christmas money for our family! The opportunity -- hemming choir dresses for TCHS. Now, I know ya'll are all absolutely shocked that I'd do such a thing -- since my mom does the exact same thing. ;)

We fitted the girls in their dresses... Aspen decided to make a comfy chair from the plastic we removed from the dresses/hangers.

Then E decided to join her...

Silly girls!

Breakfast Burritos

We'd had quite the week, and it was Brian's last free Saturday until after marching season. We decided to splurge; went to Galveston, and picked up breakfast burritos from our favorite place. Brian then surprised me, and we drove to the seawall, parked and ate our burritos there. We got the girls out of their carseats and they enjoyed sitting with us, and enjoying breakfast too.

Special family time, and yummy food. I still need to clean the spilt orange juice -- thanks to our precious girl.... :)

Dickinson vs. TC

Daddy's (Brian) school played Pawpaw's school for a friday night game.  The Lord parted the rain clouds just long enough for us girls to go to the game, stay til halftime, and head home. It was perfect!

Brian had promised to introduce Aspen to 'the Sting', but for 2 wks, kept forgetting. She was SO excited he remembered and took her.

Sitting with Granny during halftime! 

G & G Day

Granny did G&G day with the girls, and did the letter 'I'. To help, she used pretend Insects. Eliana was not very sure about them at first...but, eventually decided they were okay.

Fun stuff!
