Doctors in the House

The girls have enjoyed playing in their new dress-up vet & medical doctor coats from Santa!

Morgan's 1st Haircut

Morgan FINALLY received her 1st haircut.  Nothing fancy, but she did GREAT and loved it!

Morgan's New Bright Pink Cast ~!

Morgan took a slight tumble off her bicycle on Christmas Eve.  By reaching out to catch herself from the fall, she managed to receive a hairline fracture above her elbow. After an urgent care, pediatrician, and finally an orthopedic visit, a cast was placed on Morgan's right arm.  It will be on for 4 weeks!

Christmas Day - Austin 2012

The joy and awe of Christmas morning. Santa was good to all of us again this year.

Lots of gifts. Lots of love. Loveable pillow pets (even w/ a sling in place). Lots of photographers!

Later in the afternoon, Regan & Pops spent a few hours putting together a new Lego design!

Christmas Eve - Austin 2012

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...cookies were decorated on Sunday evening... Santa's helper dropped off special "pre-Christmas" gifts for the cousins to enjoy on Christmas Eve am!The evening started off with a quick trip to urgent care for Morgan - before continuing on to Christmas Eve service and followed by a party at the house for close friends of the family. Let's just say that the pre-church family pictures didn't go as planned, but a few were captured (thx to Aunt Leah)!The Etter Family - PEACE be with you!Letter and goodies for Santa. [Morgan had retired to bed early...]

Kingwood Christmas

The girls opened a few personal gifts from us before we headed to Austin.  We also allowed them to open gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Etter as well as their aunt, uncle and cousin in Florida.  They loved their books, puzzles, and Barbie dolls! Unbelievable to have hot weather days before X-mas!

1st Grade Christmas Party

Regan's class celebrated with an early morning mass and were allowed to wear green or red (in lieu of their normal uniforms).  Party started after mass and included snacks, crafts, and gift exchanges! Pictured w/ Paige, Delicia, and Isabella.  Her desk-mate/"neighbor" is Sophia. Cute water bottle idea!

2012 Ornaments

The girls both made ornaments this year. Regan was assigned a Bible verse, asked to write it and then show a picture depicting its meaning. Morgan helped make hers by smiling sweetly & adding glitter!

Journey to Bethlehem

Our little angel sang "Mary, Did You Know?" & "Angels We Have Heard on High" at St Martha's Christmas program. Front and center - enthusiasticly singing every word!!

A Little Christmas at Home

Our family tree went up the weekend before Thanksgiving this year - as did Regan's "Princess" tree full of pink & purple ornaments. Morgan's stocking finally got her name monogrammed on it! :)
