This was our off year with Josh's family for Christmas. We went up to Shallowater for a wonderful "late Christmas/ New years celebration". We decided since it was after Christmas and we never get any time alone... we would rather forgo adult gifts and have hire some babysitters so we could go out to a nice dinner, adults only. We went to the 50 Yard Line and had a great time!
Lila and Caroline LOVE spending time with their Texas Tech cousins!
The next day Grumps and Cha Cha had stockings ready for all 5 grandkids. They were SO excited!
One of their gifts was new robes! Even Caroline got to snuggle up for this pic.
Caroline's favorite word during December was, "baby".
LOTS of beauty shop and makeup with the St.Clairs.
New Years Eve day we took the big kids to Main Event to play games and bowl. I think the grown ups had just as much fun as the kids!
With the help of an awesome website, we celebrated the turn of the clock to 2012 at 8:00 pm! The kids were so excited for sparkling cider, horns and poppers:)
After we got all the kids to sleep, we had a game night. So fun!! The grown ups stayed up until the New York ball drop (11:00) Crazy! It's funny how knowing the wake up call will be at 7 am changes the mind set:)
As always, we had a great time seeing our family. We get so spoiled by the help with the girls; Gwen got up with our early risers and let us sleep in, we had all the meals ready and provided and plenty of hands to help hold a rotten baby:) Happy New year!
