Merry Christmas!


New Year's Resolutions:
1) Take more pictures
2) Update my blog more

I know I've been awful about updating!  December was a whirlwind of a month (at least let me blame it on something).  We apparently had so much fun over the holidays, I didn't take time to take pictures!  Unfortunately the night before we headed to Lubbock, Hallie was sent home from school (second time for the week) with high fever.  After picking her up and seeing how sick she was, I went a bit into panic mode and landed in urgent care.  Luckily after a shot and some Motrin, she started to come around.  Those darn earaches still haunt us even with the tubes!
Wouldn't you have panicked too?!

We started the holiday by going to Lubbock to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday.  We all went for lunch and massages while the guys babysat.  Such a perfect day!  We then went to Odessa for Christmas with the Brazelton's....but my camera stayed in Lubbock oops!  So no pictures of that Christmas but we had such a good time.  The highlight was definitely Blake getting his long awaited Big Green Egg.  We have had so much fun experimenting with it.  And I'll be honest, it's nice to have someone else cooking the meals!!

We then headed back to Lubbock for Christmas with my family.  I managed to take some pictures there (some).  Hallie and Ellis finally got to meet.  Unfortunately Nana broke her hip a week before Christmas and is in a skilled nursing facility.  We made several visits to the home over the holidays...I'm still surprised we weren't asked to leave after all the fun Brooks and Hallie had there!







 If only that thing could really clean the floors!!

 That's the hair I get to work with every morning...

 And the star of Christmas morning....Buzz Lightyear.  He ate with Buzz, slept with Buzz, did everything with Buzz, until.....well see below

 Buzz unfortunately had an accident Christmas night.  After surgery and some new titanium underwear (i.e., duct tape), he was somewhat good as new until the doctor (Amazon.com) could fix him.  

New Year's Eve... Our friends Justin, Meredith, and Camdyn came over for dinner.  Hallie and Cam had so much fun catching up and dragging out every toy we owned.  The aftermath:

They both share a love for shoes

What an amazing year 2012 was thanks to this little thing:


Happy 2013 everyone!
