Holidays are over!

We have survived the holidays.. the girls are with their dad in Beaumont this week. I miss them terribly. Kenley and Colby have been having fun in their rooms though, LOL.

Doug and I traveled down south and I came back up while he duck hunted. That man does nothing but duck hunt in the winter! Fortuntely he buys me things when he leaves so he keeps mama happy... haha! The kids got spoiled as usual for Christmas. They got tons of toys.. their bigger gifts they scored was a new trampoline, a new John Deere Gator, and a new playhouse.

Natalie got the golden gator award at school. Only 6 kids are chosen throughout the year, so we are pretty proud! There is a ceremony on Jan. 7th to honor her.

I've been trying to get the house in order for the New Year! Staying organized is my resolution for 2010! Four kids can get you very disorganized. :)

Doug and I went on date night tonight to Red Lobster. How in the world 2 people can rack up a $70 meal is beyond me! Oh well, it was very good!! Then we walked around Barnes & Noble. We didn't feel right without the kids, so we left and went and got them. LOL



Only 2 more days to 2010, so crazy to think about!

Just some pics..

Pictures of recent happenings.. :)

Santa's Wonderland

http://www.santas-wonderland.com/

We go everywhere to Santa's Wonderland, here in College Station. The kids just love it. However, each year it gets more and more popular which brings even larger crowds.

This year we waited.. are you ready?.. 2hrs and 10 minutes to get OFF the feeder road into the park to see the lights. 2 hours and 10 minutes with 4 bored, tired, fussy and hungry kids!! The lights were great as usual, but we ALL agreed to skip out on them next year. The kids enjoy Santa's town enough for that.

Excuse my pictures, they are horrible. I was using a new camera and didn't have the settings fixed...

The girls around the campfire...



Kenley loved the animals!



Natalie and Mom



Colby



I will stop with the pictures, they are pretty bad aren't they! LOL!

I can't believe it's December already.. where has the time gone? Just weeks until Christmas!!

Today we went to Christmas in the park.. it was COLD!!! There is 70% chance of snow in the morning, less than an inch but snow regardless!








Kenley getting her aim just right..
