Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break! We sure did..here is some pictures of our Christmas break!We went to the theatre to watch Princess and the Frog and they loved seeing these big chipmunks! Tayla is actually dying to see the new movie with the girl chipmunks singing the Beyonce song, lol
Tayla was SO SO excited to see Princess and the Frog! I surprised her and bought her a Princess and the Frog shirt to wear when we went to see it! She was really happy, and I think she felt pretty special. She is pointing to it in the picture:) It was a really cute movie..we all loved it!
But he decided that Santa was scarier in person than he remembered. He looked at us like he was so hurt we would do something so mean! (although this Santa is by far the most unfriendly Santa ever!)
Tayla on the other hand, didn't freak out seeing Santa this year:) She was really happy to see him and when she came home she proudly said she didn't cry! She also said Santa forgot to ask her what she wanted for Christmas, and she didn't tell him she wanted a pink car...she was pretty bummed about that!
Tayla and some of her friends at school during their Christmas Party lunch. She had such a fun time with her friends.
After her party at school, we came home and went through all her goodies she received. She was pretty happy and kept sneaking chocolate in her mouth.
She really enjoyed sending off Santa's letter this year. She is putting the North Pole stamp on her envelope in the picture. She wanted to make sure that Santa knew she wanted a pink car for Christmas.
On Christmas Eve, we had a yummy dinner at our friends house, and then we managed to get the kiddos together to dress up for the nativity. Noah kept his head piece on for about 30 seconds, then he was done.
Noah was such a happy boy on Christmas morning. He really didn't know what was going on, but all he knew was he was getting lots of sweet new stuff (and special snacks) so he was over joyed!
Tayla on Christmas morning
The biggest wrapped present....it was pretty fun to see her open it.
Tayla and Noah were in heaven. Noah actually was obsessed with her car and had a hard time focusing on opening presents because he just wanted to sit in the car and listen to the radio (that really works)
Noah also got a little car from Santa. He was pretty happy..look at that smile, lol. He can drive it all by himself, all he has to do is push a button. He drives pretty crazy and he's constantly getting whip-lash.
Noah and Daddy. Noah was so happy to have lots of new balls! I think this picture is so funny because they both have the same little smile.
Here are the kiddos taking their first ride!Tayla was perma grin the entire time. Noah was looking at her like she was a crazed woman. She was a really crazy driver and she was so enthralled with it driving when she pushed the gas pedal, that she forgot to steer. It was also funny to see her change gears from forward to backward, etc.

Too Cute to Spook!
Noah's costume was my favorite....he just looked too cute in it! I actually knew I wanted Noah to have this costume first, then decided the only thing that goes with a lion is Wizard of Oz...




So I couldn't help put lots of pictures of the cowardly lion up....although it was hard to keep him still to take pictures in his costume! He even 'roared' every time we put his costume on!
Considering how big, fluffy, and hot his costume was, he really never tried to pull of his headpiece! That's not to say he was happy all the time it was on though, hahaha. What a good little sport!

San Antonio Trip!

Here's part of us, heading into the cave.
Just some stalagmites!
and some "bacon"
And here are the stalactites!
Tayla and Garrett were SO cute together. They were almost always holding hands with each other. I love the background of this picture. The picture just doesn't do it justice...it was really awesome!
I love this picture because Noah loved being one of the big kids. He loved every chance he had to walk with them, and play with them. When he could, he would copy everything they did!
Noah really liked Shamu! He was startled a few times because of the commotion, but he was content in watching the whales!
We paid almost 20 bucks for Tay to get her face painted:) It was worth it though, she was so excited and she knew exactly what she wanted...if you can't tell, she chose to be a mermaid, lol.
Here she is showing off her new look!
Here are the girls posing together, with their new faces. Riley chose a dolphin!After Sea World we went to the Riverwalk in San Antonio, by the Alamo, and had a delish dinner. Here are the two love birds strolling the streets, lol. This pic was referred to as the paparazzi shot!

One Massive Post
Tayla's best little buddy moved to Russia about a month ago and she has been so sad. They were good little friends and really did love each other. He is just too cute! She loves to drive by his old house just to see and she even wants to drop off treats to put on his doorstep, so when he comes home he can be surprised and find something special waiting for him. 
She misses Preston, and I miss his mommy, Dung. We miss you Dung and Preston!!
Tayla has enjoyed Nate's baseball games on Friday (if they are early enough for her to go to).
Tayla had a 'bring a friend day' at ballet, and she chose to bring Addy to her class. They had a lot of fun...although she wasn't very obedient that day, lol. She was just too excited to have a friend!
Addy was a cute little ballerina! This is where they put on big pink tutu's and a crown and go to the 'ball' to dance.
Look at those eyelashes, seriously! Lucky little man.
Dez went to her first ever high school dance! She looked so beautiful! I loved helping her get ready, so thanks Dez for letting me help:)
Here is the group she went with to Homecoming!
Some of our friends who have canoes, invited us to go to a park and have some food and go out on the canoes with them! I'll be honest, I was scared of alligators the whole time I was out there in the water. I couldn't help think of what I would do if one attacked, lol. Tayla loved it though, and we all had a fun time outside in the 'cool for Houston' weather.
We also made smores, which Tay devoured. She also had such a fun time playing with our friend's dog! She loved throwing the ball and having the dog fetch it!
Of course, if any activity has to do with making something to eat, especially if it is sweat, Tayla loves it. Making caramel apples is so much fun for her.
She was getting pretty creative.
I know this is a random picture..but Noah LOVES to be outside and the other day it was raining and I happened to open the door for something, and he escaped! He was pantless, shoesless, but wanted so badly to play in the rain, so I let him. He LOVED it! He was soaked, but was the happiest little boy ever. Must be a boy thing? He cried hard when I made him come back in to take a bath. Poor boy!
This little guy loves loves loves bananas, or 'nanas'! He has one each day, and could eat 5 a day if I let him. Out of all the books we have, he will find all the pages with bananas on it and point them out, then shout "nana, nana, nana!" It's hilarious!
He's happy and content after eating his nana.
I couldn't resist trying on Tayla's boots from last year, on him. He walked around like he was pretty cool! Ok, Noah also really loves shoes. He carries Taylas princess shoes around the house, and when I say, "let's go bye bye," he finds his shoes, while saying, "shoosh". It's pretty funny.
This picture kills me! He is not going to be happy when he's older and knows I was purposely dressing him in girls stuff.

Noah's 1st Birthday Bash!!

Here is Noah in his little party hat and personalized bday shirt I made him. (He didn't like his hat that much...he didn't keep it on for long)
We served doggie treats, straight out of doggie dishes!
Here are our little goodie bags!
Dez was suppose to be our puppy face painter, but she was sick, so I painted all the children's faces like puppies. They loved it! I love this picture, the girls are so cute! All the kids had a great time playing on multiple playgrounds surrounding the area.
Noah enjoyed all the capri suns he could sneak past us!
He LOVED his cake! As you can see, he dove right in!
Noah savored each bite, and Max dumped his cake on his lap first thing and dug in! lol, it was so funny to see them make messes of themselves!
