I was at the mall at 8:30 this morning so that I could stand in line for 30 minutes to get us a ticket to come back and see Santa tonight so that she could sit on Santa's lap for all of 2 seconds and scream.
The night we got married, we celebrated with an ice cream cone at McDonalds. The ladies behind the counter got such a kick out of us strolling in that that gave us our comes free. It must have been devine intervention that they even had ice cream that night because usually they are "out"(aka cleaning the machine so they can go home early) past 9:00 pm. 
Celebrating our third anniversary at Burger House with the Bear in tow.
On Saturday, we had plans to go to the Gaylord Texan with Jen and Kenn to see the decorations and Santa. After waiting for an hour to get to the parking garage, we all decided that we had enough. We settled for pizza and a nice drive around Deerfield in Plano. My favorite was the house (pictured above) that was broadcasting their own music on the radio and had their lights synced to the music. It was like something out of a movie! It was a great way to get into the Christmas spirit!
Kayleigh loved the lights! Even though it was late she stayed up and watched all of the lights. Every once in a while she would point to something and babble about it.
A little out of focus?
Dear Grandma,
Sean is always talking about work to me. He might as well be speaking Chinese, because I have NO idea what he is talking about. Looks like jibberish to me, what do you think?
When I put out my nativity the other day, I wanted to show Kayleigh Baby Jesus. She was too busy running around an throwing this as usual. So, I picked up Cosmo and told Cosmo about Baby Jesus. Being the jealous sister that she is, she immediately ran over so that he wouldn't get my attention. I showed Kayleigh Jesus and I told her a little bit about him. She even gave him a kiss (she is SO into babies right now). Fast forward to last night: We were in the living room and she started to get up on her tiptoes to see and the said "Baby Jesus." I promise! She did, just ask Sean. 
The Bear had a blast today on the swings. For the first time, she rode them back and forth and kept saying "Wheeee." It was (of course) precious.
At least 5 times a night, here is the dialogue at our house:
Can I explain to you how much I utterly HATE recess at this time of year? It is so STINKIN cold and MISERABLE. I truly dread going out each day. I don't mind September when it is 100+ at 12:00 when we go out, but I can't handle anything under 50 degrees.
Here is a picture of the Bear decked out in a Christmas outfit I made for her. 
I worked on these tonight. I want to know what you think. I was trying to knock-off these, but with scraps that I had here. I will go buy the other stuff if these turn out. I am pretty proud of my self for figuring these out without a pattern. What I wanted to ask you was, do they look like houseshoes? I feel like mine do, but that lady's don't. They definitely need more work, and no they are not finished yet. 
A Christmas outfit for Kayleigh. The pants are hanging funny, they don't really look crooked.
A padded case for my new phone so it does not get scratched.
This has been my biggest project. I am making Kayleigh this for Christmas. I am almost finished with it, just have a few more window to install. I have had so much fun with this, I have decided to make another. I will be sure to show you when it is finished.
And finally, an I-Spy bag that was supposed to be a present, but I learned a valueable lesson about fleece, woven fabrics, and very heavy poly-fill beads. I will be making a replacement this week!
We finished putting ornaments on the tree today. I would love to say that Kayleigh helped, but she really could have cared less about the whole process. I love having a big tree again, if only I could find my tree skirt!
Lately, everyone keeps on commenting about how big Cosmo looks. I was starting to feel like a bad mommy because I let my little boy get fat. Well, it appears that it was not extra pounds, just ALOT of hair. Poor Cosmo looks naked now, but at least he can see.
I love to watch my kiddos play together. Cosmo is so sweet to Kayleigh. She chases him around the house calling his name, he loves it. She will give him kisses and hand him his bone. It is so adorable!
The Bear woke up last night throwing up, and kept it up for a few hours. Ughhh. She stopped around 3 and was ready to play. THANKFULLY, she has been feeling good all day. Though we didn't think we would go celebrate with family, they gave us the OK to bring her over. We ate and ate, and then ate some more. Then, we went with Jackie and her boyfriend Ben to go see 4 Christmases. I truly have no idea when we went to the movies last, probably around Christmas last year. It was nice!
We went to the Baylor/ A&M game this weekend. It was so exciting to see Baylor actually win, especially against the Aggies. We had alot of fun, I didn't really take many pictures. It was very, very cold!
I need suggestions on how to fix Kayleigh's hair. As you can see, it is quickly hitting the out of control mark. She wears pig tails alot. Bows seem to disappear into thin air when I put them in her hair.
