The holiday season this year was a blur. Seems like the world was spinning twice as fast as usual.
The week before Thanksgiving and the week after Thanksgiving Craig and I made 2 quick trips to Austin to help Kim and Mark close-in their
utility room. It looks fantastic!
The weekend of December 9th, Kimberly and Chloe came to Houston. Kimberly took me to see the Houston Ballet's Nutcracker. We had a great girls night out while Pop (Craig) had Chloe duty. Mark was unable to come because of work.

While Chloe and Kimberly were here Chloe decorated some Christmas cookies to take back to her Daddy.

| Of course she needs to try a few. |

A couple of weeks went by and the whole gang arrived for Christmas.

Last but not least, here are a few of our goofy photos from Christmas 2011.

My kids are such good sports. Love my little sock money's.

Diane,You have made my day,seeing the wonderful pictures you have shared with all to see. It was a nice Christmas being with the family and enjoying the laughs, good food and delious sweets. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012. My happy tears have flowed at the cookies that Chloe and Kim made just like we did in yesteryear when you were young.
Looks like y'all had a great Christmas! I still just absolutely LOVE that last picture!
Thanks for going to the nutcracker with me:) I had lots of fun. I'm glad our family is so goofy!
So sorry I missed Josh when we were in OKC for Christmas but sounds like they all had a good visit - although he JUST missed Kysen's arrival! So fun to see the great family pics - tell everyone HI for me... love Chloe's cookies - she's a natural!!
