Sometimes the best things are unplannned...

Well its Thursday, night before Morgan's last day at school for Christmas Break. I am trying to keep her on something that resembles a school bedtime until she is actually out, but this happened. After they were bathed and teeth brushed (last steps before bed) I was showing Morgan her pictures with the Rockettes that I had posted on the blog, WELL Reagan overheard a little Crystal Gayle from my Playlist and it was on! Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue is one of her favorite songs, the hair brush Karaoke was under way...
Morgan got in on it with her own performance of Dolly Parton, Here you Come Again, & Here I go!!They were having so much fun, it was really cute. I can't wait for the next few weeks that they are both home with me. We are off to San Antonio tomorrow for a weekend of Riverwalk & Holiday in the Park at Fiesta Texas. Have a great weekend!

Thursdays with ?

What if I am Santa Claus. Kind of makes you think huh?

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas,

Partying with the Rockettes

Today my niece, McKenna, celebrated her 4th birthday. All of the kids got out of school early for lunch, presents, and getting the Rockette's autographs! My mom had ordered all of the girls Rockette dolls, that would be autographed at the store today. It was very exciting, and the lady dancers were very cordial and genuine with each girl.

Happy Birthday Kenna, it was a lot of fun.

The Birthday Girl:

Morgan's kickin' up Texas style! Her doll was in the 2007 Candy Cane outfit, which was the year we actually saw the Rockettes perform so she was really stoked about getting that particular doll.

Gumdrops, and Icing, and Gingerbread...Oh My

Last Friday Morgan had a few friends come home with her after school to decorate gingerbread houses. They had a really good time and did a decent job decorating. I did not do a good job taking pictures at all!! Sadly i have only 2 pics, and none include their finished products.

Snowy Surprise

What a treat last night to get some snow in Pearland, Texas! After school it was nasty, but no talk of snow, by 5:30 the neighbors were ringing the door bell and we were playing in the flurries outside. The best was after we thought it was over, and kids were bathed and in bed, Ray asleep already, I went out to check on things and it was snowing really hard and everything was completely covered. I ran and got Morgan and she woke Reagan up for them to see it. They were just SO excited. It was an early Christmas present!

Monday Night Football: Battle Red

We scored tickets to Monday's Texans game with my brother and sister in law. The game was fun, but the roof was open and it got pretty chilly in the stadium. Of course theTexans won, which was nice, but also Kevin Fowler performed outside the stadium before the game. All in all a really fun night, the pictures are from Rusty's camera so they are not the greatest, but you get the gist...

This is the dumbest picture of me with the pom pom, but if i didn't post it, he was going to...enjoy!

HO HO HO & HA HA HA

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said.'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'The man replied, 'These are Carols.

'And So The Christmas Season Begins......
