January so far

We've been back home for a week now and we haven't really been doing a whole lot! Christmas decorations got put away, the house has been cleaned, and we have found a home for all the wonderful Christmas presents we were given! Kendall had school last week on Tuesday and Thursday, but she has had a cough with a low fever the past two days so she didn't go to school today. We've played with all our new Christmas toys, cleaned house, watched movies, and today I went through the girls' closets. It's been a nice, relaxing January so far!

Cooper and Kendall got these Hello Kitty bags in their stockings at Kiki and Pops'. Cooper's favorite thing to do these days is fill up one of the bags with important toys and carry it around on her shoulder. It's so cute and makes her look so big!

 I went away Friday to Saturday with the rest of the staff wives from our church! We got to go to Houston, stay in a nice hotel, shop, and eat and we had a blast. Randy and the girls had fun at home. Saturday was a nice day, so he got the new princess table and chairs out that Gigi and Peeps got the girls for their playhouse. This was the picture I got on my phone (they're inside the playhouse).

 Yesterday Cooper was playing in her room while Randy and I were in the kitchen. I peeked in and noticed her sitting on her bear rug reading. She went through each page and then got up, went to her shelf, got another book, came back to the rug and sat down again. So cute!

 Organizing our bathroom cabinet the other night while the girls were taking a bath, I found this duck robe for Cooper! It's so precious - when I took her in to Randy to show him and have him take her picture, we told her to say cheese but before she could do that, she had to drag her chair over so she could sit in it. She cracks us up!

 Holly, Aaron, Ethan, and Ella moved into their new house in Galveston while we were in New Mexico. We were sad to not be there when they were moving, but we got out to see them as soon as we could last week. Thursday night we drove there for dinner and then walked down to the sea wall so Ethan and Kendall could do a little fishing. I know the picture isn't great, but we are standing on the sea wall, looking at the ocean. We miss them being right around the corner, but so far we've been able to see them a lot!

Sorry these were all pictures from Randy's phone. I haven't used my camera once since we've been home! I finally feel all caught up on blogging, though. Now it's time to get ready for Kendall's 4th birthday! It's coming up so soon!! I hope you're having as great a 2012 so far as we are!
