December 2011

Yep, another recap. Life has been unbelievably busy work-wise. Hopefully it will slow down soon and we'll have a little more family time with some pictures thrown in! I shouldn't even be writing this now but needed to take a break for a minute from work.


December brought back our elf on the shelf, Zack. The girls were very excited to see him and had a lot of fun with him this year.

The girls had their Christmas Program at school:

We took a trip to the zoo with Granny:

We spent a whole day making cookies(I swear Reagan was more excited then she looked):

We spent Christmas Eve with family started with a special Breakfast with Santa at the Aquarium with the Standards(they are family in my book!)

And then we headed over to spend Christmas Eve with Granny, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Robert & Mike where we opened gifts, had dinner and went to church. 

It was tough but we kept the girls up on the way home(it was 9pm!) so we could could go out in the rain to put out reindeer food:

We put out cookies & milk for Santa:

Dad read Twas the Night Before Christmas and off to bed they went.

The next morning we were up before the girls and waited and waited......................

Then let the gift spoiling opening begin:

My favorite part was that we let the girls pick out gifts for each other and this is what the result was:

Reagan also hugged her new Rapunzel doll : )

Chaos!

Since the girls were out of school for Christmas break we saw a lot of this while watching movies:

For new years we spent it with our usually crew and it was a wonderful time! The girls were up and partying til 2am before we left. I took zero pics that night but did catch this video, although dark, at 1:30am:

My favorite part so far of starting the new year is no more diapers!

A Quiet November

November for the most part has been quieter then it's been for awhile. For the most part we have not had many places that we actually had to be at which has been nice for a change.

 We snuggled on the couch.

 We LOVED the pictures we got of Grandma & Grandpa's trip to Disney World. 

 

We cheered for our Coogs at home.

 We played outside.

We cheered for our Coogs on campus when College Game Day came to UH for the first time ever. 

We were thankful for important things. 

 We spent Thanksgiving with Family. Hi Granny.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We even had a photo shoot that got a little silly at times..............

 I think we need a potty break............

"What would you do if you saw Mickey Mouse?"

Halloween 2011

Not to change from what has become tradition we went over to the Stanard's house for dinner and then to go trick or treating with them and the Love family.

 Cowboy Cooper, SuperJacob, Princess Belle-Sarah, TinkerAbby, & Rea-Rapunzel-gan

 Trick or Treat!

 Dads at Work

Good Night!

Soccer 2011

Reagan decided that she wanted to play soccer again this year. 4 year old soccer was a bit different as we actually had a weekly practice on top of the games. We're not sure if we will be signing up again next year but she sure did have fun this year and misses her soccer friends.

 Littlest Cheerleader!

 I just noticed she's holding her Coaches hand (really?!)

 She loves playing goalie. 

 Go Dynamo!

 Reagan and her soccer BFF Carissa. They were holding hands at practice the first day!

Can you tell how excited Abby was about soccer this year? I think she slept through at least 2 games. When she was awake she was mad she couldn't get out on the field to play too.
