We went to our friends David & Christi's house tonight to ring in the new year with them and Daniel & Emily. We shot off fireworks and laughed a lot (isn't that right, David?) Here are some pictures of our evening!
Before we left Houston on Tuesday, we did our family Christmas. The kids were excited to open presents and see what fun things we got them.
Caleb got his very first Bible for Christmas. He is so proud of it and carries it with him everywhere he goes.
On Christmas Eve, we dressed Caleb and Madi us in their best Christmas clothes and went to Opa's church for the Christmas Eve Service.
Our good friends Chris and Anita moved this summer to North Dallas and while we were in town visiting family, we met them for dinner at Don Jose's in Waxahachie. Our children always have a great time when they get together.
Madi got lots of games and an Easy Bake Oven. Watch out Food Network, Madison is in the kitchen!
Caleb got an awesome new bike without training wheels!!!
Our nephews really wanted a Wii and they got one from Grammy and Opa! Hooray!
My nephew gots lots of cool things, but the toothbrush in his stocking was his favorite!
Are these kids cute or what?
Madison loves Hannah Montana and now she can play "Fact or Fancy" anytime she wants.The house is finally starting to come together. The floor is down and just needs the trim put on, and the paint needs some touch ups here and there. Hopefully it will not be much longer. The floor is a little dusty, but here are some updated pics.
On Saturday November 22, 2008, Granddaddy went home to be with the Lord. We thought of he and Grandmother often over the Thanksgiving holiday and I am so thankful for the time we had together. I am thankful for the love he shared with us so freely. I am thankful for the kind person he was and will miss his laugh most of all. Maybe he can put in a good word for the Astros. We miss and love you Grandmother and Graddaddy!!!! 
Here are some pics form Lubbock, we did Christmas with my brothers over the holiday.
The kids waiting to tear into presents!

There was a great park that we took the kids to and had a great time.
