Decorating our gingerbread house in Brenham, complete with "JOY," "We ♥ Jesus," and a melting Olaf in the backyard!

Party Day at CRE

We ♥ Great Grandma!

We were so excited that Great Grandma could come see Matilyn's last preschool Christmas program. True to her personality, you could hear her sing out. The beaming smile on her face was priceless. A special night with our sweet girl.

My Dancing Girl

Her dance teacher, Ms. Elizabeth, gave her an ornament today. She was excited to show it to her bubbas and hang it on the tree.

Yummy Christmas Goodies

Goody production for teachers, neighbors, and friends. The Christmas joy on our street and at our school is amazing. Lots of giving and receiving going on. I love this time of year.

Little Artist

There are pictures like these all over the house. Mattie loves to draw and color. These pictures show two of her favorite things right now: Christmas and Minimus, her stuffed winged horse from "Sofia the First" (in the snow). It's good to know I passed on one of Papa's many talents to her!
