All in one shot!

I am going to do my blog catch-up all in one post. So get comfortable; this is going to be a long one!

This is a picture of Ruth at her preschool's Thanksgiving Dinner. She got to dress as a pilgrim. She looked so gosh darn cute!
We had a wonderful Christmas. It was especially exciting because Ruth is finally old enough to anticipate it. She was so excited for all he festivities. Gareth loves his new cars and dump truck and Ruth loves her new 'mechanical puppy' and her books.





These next three pictures are of a random photo shoot that Ruth and Gareth both insisted on having. They're too cute to resist!


Here's some pics from our outing to Santa Land here in Lubbock. It was just a bunch of little displays of lights and characters put up by local buisnesses. The kids look like they're bundled up because it's cold outside...but it really wasn't that cold (we'd just forgotten we live in Texas when we got them ready).


We had a puppy for a day. He jumped into our car one morning while we were putting the kids in. Luckily he had been installed with a little microchip that had his owners information on it. It was a great way to remind me that I'm not ready for the responsibility of owning a dog. He was VERY cute though!
