Daddy/Daughter Dance 2012

Our local Children's Museum has a Daddy/Daughter Dance every year around Valentines Day. Last year was the girls' first year to go and they had a blast! They talked about it for months afterward. There is some dancing, but it is mainly dinner, crafts and games. I had so much fun spending the afternoon getting ready with the girls and curling their hair, doing manicures and pedicures. Dodie came over to help too. When it came time to leave for the dance, there were torrential down pours but luckily Brian and the girls made it to the dance and were safe and sound. However, me and the dogs spent much of the evening in the pantry listening to the news because there was a tornado very close to our house. So much for my nice relaxing evening alone!

Great Wolf Lodge

I still have so much to catch up on! While the girls were out of school for winter break, we met up with our cousins, Jackson and Grant, and Marshall and Leah. We headed up to Great Wolf Lodge to bust out of the winter blues! It was a little weird to put on a swim suit in December but we all had so much fun! This was our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge and I was really impressed. Everything was catered to kids and the girls can't wait to go back.

The Nutcracker

Ok, yes it is Valentines Day but since I am trying to catch up, we will pretend like it's still December :)

We had a very fun girls day before Christmas and went to the Nutcracker ballet in Houston. The girls have been taking dance class so I thought they would enjoy it. It got a little long by the end but I think they really liked it. I hope it will be a new tradition that we can have for years to come!

How about an update?!?!

We are still here!!! I have had some horrible technical problems with my computer. January flew by and now it is almost half way thru February! So much has been going on and I want to get the blog all caught up!

We have to go way back to December...

Breakfast and Dinner with Santa is the big fundraiser for the girls' preschool. This year, I was fortunate enough to be part of a great group of ladies that organized the events. The girls had a great time playing games, making crafts, and we even got our first good pic of all three with Santa! Success!!!

FOUR years old!!!

I have a lot of posts to catch up on from December. It was a busy month but one of the highlights was definitely the girls turning FOUR! We had a "pinkilicious" birthday party at the gym where they do gymnastics. I think all the kids had a great time playing in the gym. It is hard to believe that my little two-pound babies are now beautiful, healthy, smart, happy, funny, sassy little girls. I cannot imagine life without them!

Aggie Basketball Guest Coaches

Anyone that knows Brooklyn, knows that she is a huge basketball fan! A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be guest coaches at the Aggie Women's basketball game vs. Missippi State. Brooklyn was in heaven but all of the girls really enjoyed being a part of such a special event. They really thought they were hot stuff! :)

As guest coaches we got to tour the athletic facilities, be with the team during Coach Blair's pre-game speech, go in the locker room before the game, sit behind the team's bench during the game and meet all of the players. The players were all super nice and loved meeting the girls. Coach Blair is such an awesome coach and it is easy to see how much he truly cares about his team and the fans. After the game was over he brought the girls out on the court to sing the Aggie War Hymn. It was such an awesome moment and the perfect ending to our day!

WHOOP!!!
