P is for PIGTAILS!!!

Katie Beth's growing hair is finally long enough for pigtails! Boo, NeeNee and I could not be happier. Dad, however, thought I was going overboard. I just couldn't help it. She looked so cute. Katie Beth did leave them in all day. I think she liked them, too!

F is for Friends

On December 23, we were blessed with a visit from our good friends, the Redelspergers! Tana is my dearest friend from college and the closest thing I have to a sister. I love her dearly. We have stairstep kids! Her daughter Regan is 4.....my Bray is 3....her Ryan is 2... and Katie Beth is 1. Bray loves to play with his friend girls. We made Christmas cookies for Santa.

The kids thought the cookies tasted great. They had a lot of fun, too! I am glad Tana doesn't mind messes.

Isn't Regan too sweet! She is a little Martha Stewart in the making. Her cookies had to be just perfect. Of course Tana and I thoguth they were. Time with friends is a great gift! Thanks freind girls!!!

C is for Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to you!

Love,

Katie Beth, Dusty, Amanda and Bray

B is for Birthday!

Bray did it again! He and Daddy and NeeNee planned a surprise COWBOY party for me. It was a perfect birthday party. We spent Saturday evening at NeeNee's watching OSU and OU! Boo, Paw, Nee Nee, Spud, Reece and Molly came to help my family and I celebrate. Our favorite baker June made my awesome Pistol Pete cake. It was a perfect evening!

T is for Thankful!

Thanksgiving brought a new adventure around our house. We actually stayed home this year....no traveling! Although I missed my side of the family, especially my Grandma Peggy's dressing and pecan pie, I enjoyed the extra play time with my kids. We HAD to put our Christmas tree up on the day before Thanksgiving. Bray insisted! He got to put the star on top. It reminded me of Christmas when I was little. Putting the star on top was my Dad and I's job...until Reece claimed it! Dusty and Paw put lights up on the house. They let Bray help!!! I know, I was a little nervous that my 3 year old was on my roof. He Loved it! I think Paw enjoyed it, too! Katie Beth was in fine form at MamMa and PapPa's on Thanksgiving Day. She showed off her 2 day old walking skills. She also wresteled with Bray and Cade. KB ate everything we did...especailly dessert! She also was pretty sweet on Logan. Cole was busy running Bray to pig barn to see the big baby pigs! Thanks Cole for being so kind to Bray! Katie Beth got a little sassy at one point. She took the lid off the ice chest and snuck a cup. Then she hid behind the ice chest and began to eat the ice! I couldn't resist a picture between giggles! Boy am I in trouble! I did have so much to be Thankful for this year. It never hurts to stop and count your blessings!
