Each year we drive through this neighborhood that really goes all out when it comes to Christmas lights. Some of the homes pass out candy canes and one actually has an orchestra playing Christmas music from their garage. It has become a tradition in our family, and this year we drove Ricky's car. Ricky opened the sun roof and let the girls stand up and look out the top of the car. Everyone drives really slow and the girls had a blast.

Christmas Lights with the Coolest Dad Ever
Each year we drive through this neighborhood that really goes all out when it comes to Christmas lights. Some of the homes pass out candy canes and one actually has an orchestra playing Christmas music from their garage. It has become a tradition in our family, and this year we drove Ricky's car. Ricky opened the sun roof and let the girls stand up and look out the top of the car. Everyone drives really slow and the girls had a blast.
Christmas services at Lake Hills Community church
Bible Study Christmas Party
Posting this makes me realize just how behind on the blog I have gotten, but better late then never. This party was so much fun, we did a gift exchange and some people brought gag gifts. It's always funny until you are the one that gets the gag gift. Ricky got a nice pair of chop sticks, and our gag gift (a coffee cup warmer) actually became a hot item....go figure. Pretty much the pictures say it all!
Bailee get's Glasses
We took Bailee in for an eye exam, only because she had turned five and we thought it was time. We never thought that she was having any problems and we were so glad we went. The doctor said she really needed glasses and that since your eyes are still developing until around eight years old that maybe her prescription would better with time. I was so thankful that she really liked them, and has taken such good care of them. They took a little getting used to though, when she first put them on her eyes began to water and I became concerned. She said "don't worry mom, it's just bright" the Doctor said that is how many children explain being able to see clear and sharp for the first time. I just about cried. She does look pretty cute in them!
Famiy Trip to the Grand Canyon
In November we took a road trip to the Grand Canyon, it was really amazing to see. We had a great time although I am not sure this trip is for children. There were so many places where there was absolutely no rail. I felt like a recording saying "NO RUNNING AT THE GRAND CANYON" all day long! On the last day, once we were back at our hotel it started snowing and the girls seemed to really enjoy the trip. They are such good little travelers.
