I'm still here

I just haven't been blogging. I need to upload all my pictures from the past week and then i'll have about 10 posts to make. Until then, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A weekend ago we made our annual trip out to the town of Burnet to see their live Bethlehem. It is truely amazing thing that they do. They have a whole "town" set up the way that Bethlehem probably was back in that time. They have Roman Soldiers, woodshops, bakery and at the end they have a manger scene. It is so fun to go walk through during our Christmas time. Here are some pictures of our trip!

I took my kids pictures this past weekend for the annual Christmas card. I thought they turend out pretty darned cute but then again I'm biased.
Here they are:







So what do you think? You'll have to wait for one in the mail! If you know I don't have your address, please send it to me!

Decorating the tree

While Robin and I went outlet shopping while she was here, Stuart and the kids decorated the tree while we were gone! He took some pictures of the event and they actually turned out cute! (haha!) Somehow I managed to delete a SUPER cute picture of the kids in front of the tree. I could kick my self sometimes. Anyways, here are the pictures.

All in all it was a fun trip. The drive home sucked rocks because everyone was so tired. But we're glad to be home. I am leaving my house right now to go pick up my BFF from the airport. She is here for a few days!!!
