Big Beds!!

Chance riding the train around Town Center
The kids were very excited to break down their toddler beds and get their big beds! The wall appliqués were so hard to put on the wall, I haven't put their names in the middle yet. But we all like how their room has turned out! My nana is making them matching quilts with K's having pinks and Chance's blues but both have green, yellow and gingham. I'm very excited to see them!



Movie and Friends

We took the kids to their first movie theater experience this weekend, we went and saw Thomas and the Run away kite. They both loved it! Especially the popcorn!
We stayed at grandma's house Saturday and she watched the kids while Sean and I meet up with friends. It was tons of fun to get out and catch up with friends!
Girls shopping!

Mimi and Grandpa Ho Ho got the kids a microphone and they love it!!!

Christmas in McKinney

We traveled to McKinney for Christmas and the drive there wasn't bad til we hit Texas. We left Wednesday morning at 3:15am and got in around 7:45, we hit some crazy weather in Tyler where there was a tornado!

Painting and Presents

We had paint samples like this on every wall downstairs, the lighting in each room is so different. Every time we thought we found the one we loved it ended up looking totally different, but we decided on a color and Sean and I love the finished result.
Earlier this week I painted the downstairs bathroom, the color of it goes along with everything so well, I love how bold and rich it is!
Friday, Grandma and Ducky came up to paint the downstairs. I couldn't believe how quick they were done, it only took them 4 1/2 hours! We have one wall that is darker then the rest and it matches with the entry wall. We are so happy with it! I started packing for our road trip to Texas so once it's all cleaned up (Tuesday) I'll post pictures!
After painting we had a "Christmas dinner" and open presents, the kids were super excited to get a work bench like Grandma's!

The awful task of trying to get this darn tree up! The stand and the tree did not want to cooperate with me and all Chance wanted to do was help.
Saturday morning we got up and went to St Augustine's Winter Wonderland, the website looked pretty fun, sleigh rides, bounce houses, polar express train ride, elf land, s'mores. That was not the case when we got there, half of the activities were closed and the train is the same train we ride around at the Town Center. Santa didn't even show up! I was very disappointed! But the kids had fun running around and seeing frosty the snowman.
Polar Express!
We went to the McKean's yesterday to Celebrate Mrs. McKean's birthday. We had a delicious dinner and desert and opened more presents. We got a ton of goodies!! It's like Christmas every day in our house, we have already opened a few other gifts so we don't have to bring them with us. It's so much fun!
Happy Birthday Mrs. McKean, we love you!!

Thanksgiving

We started our Thanksgiving with Libbie's baptism, it was a nice and quick ceremony.(Which was great because we had all 3 toddlers there!) She was such a good girl through the whole things, we were very happy to be there and celebrate with her family! Afterwards we all headed over to the McKean's for coffee and treats, it was a pretty relaxing day!
Libbie!
The kids watching a movie before dinner
The McKean's fixed an awesome dinner! After putting the kids down we all played some games and had lot's of laughs. It was the perfect Thanksgiving!
Kinley doesn't have a game day outfit for cold days so she wasn't dressed in her usual Saturday attire. But Miss Libbie was ready to watch Tim Tebow's last home game

Painting Updates

The Kids room:
We still have a few more things to do: I want to hang 1 or 2 more picture frames, get a lamp for the side table, put their names on the wall, and their big beds!
