December

So many things were happening in December - it just flew by!  Here are a few things to recap the month (not including the many parties and dinners that we had - here were just a few of our highlights)....

Talia had a pajama Christmas party at preschool  (Tatum had one too, but I forgot to take any pictures!)

My baby brother Josh, graduated with DISTINCTION from the University of Nebraska College of Engineering!  He and his wife Lyndsey (and their baby Fiona) have since moved to Dallas for his new job!
(He is the tall one with the red medal of distinction around his neck)  :-)

My other brother Jake made it home from Afghanistan SAFE and sound, just before Christmas!  His wife, Jen and 4 kids were anxiously awaiting!!

Barth Family Christmas was celebrated early and even had a surprise visit from Santa - whom Taizley is still not fond of!

 Baby for Taizley

 Taizley's still crying even while eating chips & guacamole!

Baking cookies and writing letters for Santa

Christmas Day

 More babies for Taizley!

 Playing their new Disney Headbandz game!

Our Snowbunny Talia!  Making snowballs in her shorts! 

Quick trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl to cheer on the Cats!  So fun with Barth family and Mark's dad was able to meet us from Florida!

Papa & Nannie

Not slowing down yet - a trip to Florida in a few days will keep us on the go!  Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Have a Very Merry Christmas!!



Santa

Taizley likes to look at Santa from afar - not so much up close!



Happy Birthday Mom!

Grandma celebrated her 60th birthday on December 11th!  Can't believe you are 60 - you definately do not look like it!  Only the fact that you have 12 grandchildren might give it away!



Christmas Decorating

We got everything decorated for Christmas!  Every year the girls help with the Christmas trees and then get to decorate their own trees in their rooms!  They did a great job!

 Taizley only has 4 ornaments (actually only 2, but Tatum shared with her)!
