live Nativity
We went to a live Nativity on Saturday night at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Taylor. It was very nice, and we will be going back next year! The only complaint from my kids was that they wanted it to go on longer! 🙂

ice skating!
The girls got to go ice skating yesterday at a friend’s birthday party! What a fun winter treat! I was so surprised at how much the girls loved it. They went two years ago, and were tired after 15 minutes. This time, they wanted to stay longer than 2 hours! I’m not saying they were good at it, they just loved it! 😉 Rilyn has already asked if she can have her 9th birthday party there!

Wimberley Trail of Lights!
On Friday night, we went to Wimberley’s Trail of Lights for the first time! It was like a magical village full of lit up trails for the kids to run around in! I definitely recommend it!

Thanksgiving 2012
We celebrated a day early at my parent’s house this year.

 |
| table shot! |
A big highlight was that the girls got to sit at the “adult table” because sadly aunt Jessica couldn’t make it. The kid’s table still had occupants though! 😉
 |
Definitely a time of food, family, and fun. Here James is playing a game that Ella completely drew, colored, and made up the rules! My favorite part of the game is if you draw a *BONUS* card. (You get to move 54 spaces!) 😉
 |
Thanksgiving morning was spent decorating grandma and grandpa’s tree!

Thursday was also spent traveling up to Dallas for the cheer competition the next day. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at Denny’s! It was kinda sad. 😦
After Rilyn’s cheer competition, we drove to Fort Worth to spend time with James’ family!
The kids all can climb up the tree house now!

That evening, the kids got to be in the Fort Worth Christmas parade! Their oma and papaw volunteer for the Red Cross and so they were able to sit in the Emergency Response Vehicle and wave to all the crowds watching the parade! The kids had a blast!
 |
| here they come! |

We just came back home from Rilyn’s Southwest Regional Pop Warner cheer competition in Dallas. They got 3rd place, and we are so proud of how hard they worked all season long! James is so good at making fun videos and he made a montage video of their cheer routine that you must see!! For the cheer parents watching, we do have the original routine and we will share later! 🙂 Enjoy!
