White Christmas!

 What are the odds of it snowing on Christmas Day?!  We, of course, were in Houston, so we didn't get to witness it, but it was all still there the next day when we returned to Dallas!  I think we got about four inches or so!


 Sarah really had a great time playing in the snow and was not the least bit concerned with how cold she was!


 Emily liked it until she fell down in it!

Christmas at Uncle Andy's

 Our family picture for Christmas 2012!

 Emily and Emery enjoyed the train set.
 We love our Yia Yia!

Since Emily had been walking a lot more over the past couple of weeks, I really thought she'd let all of the family in Houston see her do it, but I was wrong...Christmas evening she finally started doing a little more for everyone to see.  Then, about one day after returning to Dallas, the girl is walking around everywhere!

Christmas at MeMe and PaPa's

 On Christmas morning, we opened presents at MeMe and PaPa's house. 

 A big trend for Emily this Christmas was climbing on the gifts...
 Sarah was very excited to get a Strawberry Shortcake scooter!

Emily just loved playing with the boxes, bags, and paper.

Christmas at the Gagne's

 On Christmas Eve night, we celebrated Christmas with Rusty's Dad's side of the family.  We had a lot of fun at Aunt Cathy and Uncle Raymond's house!
 Chairs are a big thing right now, so Emily had it made with this rocking chair and the sofa chair next to it. 
 Cousin Adrian was so cute!  Every time someone had a camera out, he said Cheese and smiled real big!


MaMa with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were able to make it.

Christmas at PaPa's

 Everyone had a great time celebrating Christmas at PaPa's house!  We missed the Ortegas though!  Emily did so much better hanging out with everyone this time, but you can't tell that from this picture...I promise she really did make progress though!


 Great picture of PaPa and MoMo!

Christmas Picture Attempts...

 It's always a challenge to get the girls to smile and look at the camera at the same time, so we knew attempting our own pictures for our Christmas cards would be interesting, but I think they came out pretty well!  



 Sarah is such a big girl!
 Cuteness (it's a word...!)


 Just like Sarah was at this age, Emily loved the ornaments!
And she's done...!

Daddy Daughter Ball

 Sarah and Rusty went to the Daddy Daughter Ball at Allen High School last weekend.  They had a blast!  Rusty said Sarah had so much fun dancing, and she also saw Belle and Cinderella there!  Also, she took pictures with Belle, and she won a princess crown at the drawing they had at the dance.  



We love our sweet, sweet girl!
