OK friends and family I need your help! The photographer that we used this year for our family Christmas photos is running a contest. She has chosen 20 images from this year that were her favorite and has posted them on her blog. The image that receives the most votes between now and January 7th will will a canvas picture. I would LOVE to have that picture! It would be a great birthday present! (My birthday is the 13th! :) ) You can vote once a day until the close date. I would love your help and if you would pass it on to whoever you can think of that would be fantastic! I have a link on my blog Laura Watson Photography or here is the link;

Some fun pictures...

Believe it or not it snowed in Houston! I went and got Lillie at school to come out and play in it. Here is her snow ball. She is always telling me, "Mommy you said it doesn't snow here but it did!" It was an exciting day for us Houstonians. :)

This is one of the rides at Santa Land up in Colorado! It's a Christmas themed amusement park - very cute!



Here is Lillie dressed as a Biblical Character for AWANAS! I don't remember what she was laughing about but this is typical Lillie! I just love her!

This is also typical Lillie. Donese my dear friend and teaching partner is a dancer and gave Lillie some fun outfits. Lillie puts them on all of the time and dances around the house. Eric and I, of course, have to join her and put on our "fancy" clothes!

Where to Start...

Well it has been since IKE, September, since I have last posted. I am off for a break at school and have sworn to myself that I would get caught up on my blog among other things. I included my blog link in my Christmas cards as a way to keep myself accountable on updating my blog. I really enjoy doing it I just don't feel like getting on the computer once I get home from school. :)

Anyway... things are going really well. Lillie has had a good year overall in Pre-K4. We have had some minor issues with Lillie being left out which is really hard on a parent but the issues seem to be resolving themselves so Eric and I are pleased about that. Over Thanksgiving we were able to go to Pueblo, Colorado to visit Eric's sister Katie and her husband Dick and to spend some time in cooler weather. We took Lillie to a place called Santa's Wonderland (I think) and she had a wonderful time. It was the perfect place for her because she was able to ride a lot of the rides on her own. She had a fantastic time. It was very cold but other then that we all enjoyed ourselves!

This Christmas has been a really good one. Lillie is at an age where she can understand Santa and was very excited! She told us she saw Rudolph's nose out her window when she woke up in the middle of the night. She was given many many presents and is having a great time discovering them one at a time. Her favorite things right now are My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop. She also loves Barbies and Princess things. She really is easy to please and is fascinated by toys in general! She is a BIG pretender and very girly! My friend and teammate at school gave her a makeup kit from Libby Lu and she hasn't put it down in the past week. She puts every one's make-up on and then gets all dressed up. We have had to play beauty shop MANY times!

I am going to post some recent pictures to get caught up.... hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with God's love and many blessings!
