Snow in Houston?

I know it's hard to believe, but these pictures were taken in our backyard. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked out my kitchen window and saw huge snow flakes falling like crazy. I called for Lauren to come look, she was amazed and couldn't wait to get outside and play in it. I took Jillian outside for just a moment because I wanted to get both the girls' pictures. She was not a happy girl. She prefers to be swaddled up nice and warm. Lauren had a great time making snowballs and catching the snowflakes on her tounge. Daddy got to come home early from work, so he and Lauren got to play together in the snow while Mommy and Jill stayed warm inside.

Thanksgiving

We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Uncle Rob, Aunt Mar, Maia, Josie and Grammie. They were so excited to finally meet Jilllian. Lauren was thrilled to have a permanent play mate in Maia for a few days. They played and entertained each other non stop the entire visit. It was wonderful!

Halloween 2009

Halloween was a blur this year. We came home from the hospital with Jillian just in time to trick or treat with Lauren. Lauren and Will got to trick or treat together this year, and as you can see they were both precious in their costumes (is it ok to call Buzz Lightyear precious?) Lauren was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, complete with ruby slippers and all. She had no idea who Dorothy was, but when she saw the sparkles on this dress, she was sold.
