Merry Christmas!!

Helping Dad put the lights on the tree

Getting in the Christmas spirit?? :o)

She doesn't want Paw Paw to tell the "secret" - whatever it was :o)

The children were nestled all snug in their beds... ...while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

Christmas morning!

He has no idea what is going on...

Someone's excited!!

Someone else looks pretty excited too

The pup dogs enjoying their Christmas treats

Like father...

...like son.

Our New Home

Living room - about half-way unpacked...

Kitchen - a complete mess!

Lily's room

Lily's room after we painted it...PINK!

(who could have guessed??)

Jake's room

Half-way unpacked...

Getting there...

Look who I found!

I asked Lily to unpack one of her boxes...as you can see, she was not very happy about my request...
It looks like Papa may have been suckered into unpacking the box! :o)

Jake playing with one of Lily's toys - as you can tell from the devilish look on his face...

enjoying his jumper - thanks Miss Jamie!

Looks like someone forgot Zoey inside...she looks pretty pitiful

Enjoying the new backyard

Laying with her Lily

Ready for her first day of Texas school!

And we have a visitor already - Paw Paw!!

We are loving the new house & have been working hard on it - I will post more pics once we get a little more done.
