Hamilton Family Christmas

Christmas morning we loaded up and headed to Parker's parents house in Houston (even Bailey who had been with my parents since we sold our 1st house in July)...
CC had these fun snow globes that Bryn loved...she carried them around the whole time we were there.

Every year we reflect on the year...the blessings and trials...before we open gifts. It is fun for the kids to start to be a part of this great tradition...

Parker and Bryn...

Present time!

Another fun tradition...matching PJ pants for all the girls...

1st and 2nd cousins...Bryn (1), Kate (3), Quinn (almost 2), Jayden (1 1/2)...

What a great Christmas. We are truly blessed with amazing family and a great God!

We had a great time celebrating Christ's birth with my family!!!

Got Milk?

Kate LOVES Milk...so I thought this would be a fun treat for her after naptime today.

Yep, you read that right...RED VELVET CHOCOLATE MILK! And it really is RED!
I poured both of us a glass. I had to try it too...Kate was a little unsure about the color at first...
But drank every last drop. She never took the cup from her mouth:).
Got (Red) Milk?
After she drank it all she said, "That was soooo yummy!"

We are in!

Well it only took 4 1/2 months but we are finally in our new house! We closed Friday, December 16 and moved/unpacked all weekend. My parents kept the girls so we could get their rooms ready. It was so fun showing them their new rooms on Monday.

Parker came home from work to be there when they came for the first time...

What's a crib? (sweet Bryn has slept in a pack and play since July 29.)
She loves the bumbo!
So excited to see all their toys!!!

Happy Birthday Jesus at CLC

Kate's class had a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party before the Christmas break. Both Parker and I always love seeing Kate in her world and meeting her school friends that we hear all about.

You can't tell by this picture but Kate loves school...

We had so much fun at her party. We made a sticker nativity and decorated sugar cookies!

Gingerbread Houses

We got together with some friends to decorate gingerbread houses.

Here is the crew pre-decorating...

Preston, Olivia Kate, Charlotte, Brady, Bryn, Kate, Anna, Brody and Harper (Sean and Graham didn't sit still long enough to make the pic)...

They were serious about decorating (Brady)...

(Anna)...

This balloon kept Bryn entertained...that is, until she realized there were m&m's on the table...

Kate ate more than she decorated...

Here is proof...

My sweet girl...

Showing off their hard work...

Kate's barely had any candy left on it. She ate the whole time we were taking pictures (notice the chocolate on her face)...

Bryn checking out Kate's house...and wanting some candy...

Emma's 2nd birthday

Our sweet niece Emma had her 2nd birthday party on Saturday. We drove over to Fort Worth to help her celebrate! Kate was so excited to jump in the bounce house and eat cupcakes.

My other niece Abby who is almost 6 months old...what a sweetie!

JuJu with Abby and Bryn...

Happy Birthday Emma! We love you and had a blast celebrating you!
