New Years Eve...

We spent New Years Eve in New Braunfels, just our lil' family. We spent the majority of our trip relaxing... and we walked around and looked at deer. We ended up watching true blood and eating junk food the actual night of new years. LOVED IT. We were in bed asleep by 10:30. Geez. Old folks. :)

 We did a little bit of this...


A WHOLE lot of this... 


Olivia barked at the deer... the whole friggin' time.


Driving down! :)

Tis' the Season... Slightly Late.

Ohhhh, well, the month of December gave our family the middle finger. I won't lie. BUTTTTTTTT, WE'RE BACK! And ready to take on 2013!

I know its late but I wanted to blog about Lyla's first Christmas! Oh my goodness, it was unbelievably wonderful. Cade and I have been married for 3 years and were together for almost 10 years before that and NEVER had we EVER had a Christmas in our home. This year we had our first. Lyla was up promptly at 7 ish (excited for Santa, I'm sure). :) We had so much fun 'opening' her gifts with her. She loved all her little toys. Cade and I opened a few things then we headed to our families houses. (Before the snow, thank goodness!) I feel beyond blessed with our families and how much love they have for their grandgirl. :) Here are some pictures of the holiday!

Daddy and LJ waiting for Santa... she was still super sick here. :( I can see it in her eyes. 

Lyla's first SNOW and first Christmas!


Mimi and Lyla on Christmas morning 


Our FIRST official Christmas Eve Dinner! :) SO GOOD!


Lyla is sad she couldn't partake in the Christmas Eve feast but instead, had oatmeal. :)

Me and LJ at Nana and Papa's house. :)


Yep. That is a lamp leg onsie. :) 


Shut the HECK UP. This child is so happy. :)


I made a lil' handprint ornament for Lyla. We had some left over so I made one for Olivia too. :) 




Getting her snooze on in loving memory of Josh Hamilton. 



Being Lazy and loving every bit of it. 



We had a fantastic Christmas- I hope you all did as well! I'm looking forward to next year ALREADY!


Olivia says hi!



Love,
