Christmas in Fort Worth

We had so much fun in Fort Worth during the Christmas Holiday's


We got to visit lots of friends - 1st up was the Honshtein Family - we made and decorated gingerbread cookies! Picture above is Rylee and Amanda.




Rylee trys to decide which sprinkles to place on her cookies!

Ashley stops painting with frosting to pose for me!

Sarah and Ashley together again!

The great Cookies!

Noah (wearing his black frosting on his lips) Breanna and Rachel talk about Twilight and Look up pictures on the computer.

Rylee and Amanda

We had Christmas at Momo and Papa Killebrew's house it was wonderful - Above is a picture of Kaitlyn, Rylee, and Ashley playing with the instruments that Rylee got from Santa.

Aunt Kathy and Uncle Todd came to visit from Utah - the girls had a great time getting to know Uncle Todd - Rylee thinks he is the best!

Rachel and Aunt Kathy spent lots of time reading Twilight!

Rylee loves visiting Momo's house - Thanks for putting up with us!

After Christmas we were able to visit John's side of the family; the kirchner, de wolf, and the zumbrennen families. We hadn't gotten to see many of them for a long time, we didn't get to visit long enough but it was nice to see them all! We missed Aunt Kay :(

We were able to go and visit several friends during the time we were in Fort Worth - not everyone we would have liked to but it was nice to be able to say "hi" to friends we miss.

Over all it was a very nice Christmas we were very sad to say goodbye - I think the girls could have stayed at Momo's for a very long time.

Rachel Ready for Her Christmas Concert

As Christmas Approaches

This picture of Ashley sums up how I feel right now! She feel asleep at Rachel's Choir Concert (Great Job Mayde Creek JR High Girls Choir). The past two weeks has been filled with so much going on (just a sample) from 3 separate (each girl decided to get sick at separate times of course) trips to the doctor, several birthdays, choir rehearsal, orchestra rehearsal, choir concert, orchestra recital, dance recital, Christmas shopping, cleaning house, paying bills, work, sick kids,omework, cleaning house, wrapping presents, and chasing kids around the house.

I'm EXHAUSTED!

DEAR SANTA - this year I would love a nap for Christmas!

Can't make her smile

If Rylee doesn't want to smile - NO one is going to get this 5 yr old to smile! My mom bought the dress for her birthday - even without a smile - she is cute! Thanks momo! The dress is gorgous!

SNOW IN HOUSTON

I just wanted to let eveyone know that we have SNOW this evening. Rylee let me know that "it is ok to have Christmas now that it is snowing - but wait - dad isnt home...(with a huge sigh) sorry mom... not Christmas yet"

I love 5 year olds!

Christmas Dance Recital

Rylee has had a huge case of stage fright recently... so we were not sure if she would make it on stage. Right before they were to go on stage she had a extra strength grip on my leg. Her instructor reminded her that she would get a medal when she was done. That did it - she let go of my leg walked on to the stage and had her eyes stuck to the instructor the whole time. Wow I am so proud of her! If you aren't sure which one she is - she is in the middle on the right hand side.
