Lip Balm Making Experts

Both girls enjoyed their "experiment" time making lip balm (a present from Santa)! Lots of lip balm!

College Station Day / Future Aggies?

Enjoyed a short visit with Grandma and Grandpa in College Station. Stopped by the Alumni Center.

The girls were a little too giddy around the Aggie ring & the Class of 1994 (whoop!) statue donation.

Christmas Weekend in Austin

Time with Pops...finding and decorating the Charlie Brown Christmas tree

Time with Gigi...baking and decorating sugar cookies!

The cousins made mini sugar cookies...and later we all decorated larger sugar cookies!

We enjoyed making decorations for the Charlie Brown tree; pretty girls on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve

Christmas morning fun...mermaid and shark tails!

Santa came...and stockings were filled! Another wonderful Christmas with family!

Lemonade Time!

Our lemon tree produced 8 LARGE lemons this year.  The girls picked the lemons off the tree and helped wash them.  We even made some cold lemonade on this HOT December day (freezing weather followed the next day - only in Texas do we have such weather swings)! 

Upward Cheer

This was Morgan's 2nd weekend of cheering for the Upward basketball teams.  The group of 20 girls is starting to feel a little more comfortable in front of the crowd!

5th Grade Manners Luncheon

Special day for 5th graders. The 5th graders dress up, walk the red carpet, & have a special meal.  Our "perfectly imperfect" little sister was proud to stand next to her big sister!
