December brings so many fun and memorable moments to share!

 Baking and decorating cookies with Eli, Hazel, and her best friend from school, Thea!

Dec. 8th- Cookies with Santa at the library with Ashlei's family. Eli asked for a Batman car and Hazel asked for a Beenie Boo Hedgehog stuffed animal. (Jesse and I were tickled that Hazel only asked for a small stuffed animal!)

Decorating the Christmas tree! Thanks to our rough boy Eli...only 3 ornaments down this year.

 Eli and hazel loved decorating, (and eating) their Gingerbread House!

Dec. 9th- Hazel's Christmas ballet show! We always enjoy seeing our sweet Hazel dance!   

Dec. 13th- Celebrating Grandad's birthday! Jesse smoked ribs and we had a great dinner! Ash made chocolate chip pound cake for dessert! 

 Dec. 18th-Chrismtas program at Eli's pre-school. Meredith stole the show and sang all the songs and did the motions so well. Eli and Caleb were so cute, just being silly and having fun on stage!

 Community Christian Pre-School with Grandee and Grandad after the show

 Dec. 22nd-Blue Bell Creamery visit! Eli's first time at the factory. The kids all had so much fun and  surprised us at how well they listened during the tour. Eli loved seeing all of the big equipment and machines. The kids' and adults' favorite part...sampling the yummy ice cream! Hazel chose Millennium Crunch and Eli chose Strawberry ice-cream!

 Cousin gift exchange at Fireman's Park in Brenham. After visiting the factory, we met Heidi and Tiffani families at a really great park for some Christmas fun! The kids loved playing and exchanging their gifts. Hazel got a really neat 3D Spin Art set and Eli got Paw Patrol toys and a Paw Patrol t-shirt!

 Sweet cousins together! We were sad that Mandi and her kids didn't get to make our family day this year!
