The Houston Chronicles

Christmas and MOVING!!!

The past few weeks have been filled with lots of craziness and fun and tears and family and excitement and more. Santa visited Nashville a few days early to deliver our presents before the movers came! The girls left him cookies and milk.

They were all so excited Christmas morning. It was so fun! Each of them got a pillow pet and loved it!! Who knew a pillow could be so exciting?!

Barbie roller skates!

Scooby Doo is the latest craze around here. They are obsessed!

And then came the whirlwind! The movers came and started packing....

Some very sweet friends came by to say bye!!

And we were off to Houston! We left Philip to watch over the movers as they loaded the trucks with all our stuff. He had a few long days of directing movers and cleaning and then the LONG drive to Houston with only Izzy to keep him company. He made it safely and the festivities continued! No rest for the weary with 6 kids in the same house!!

A little dancing with Lexi, Cade, and a Rockin' Santa...

Cookie decorating..

Feeding the ducks and looking cute...

Harper and Brooks were best buddies!

They loved to wrestle! It was hilarious. Brooks could tackle her easily, but only when he could catch her.

And then more presents!

This was a favorite...and will eventually give me heart failure. If this is any look into my future with a 16 year old, we are in trouble!! Too fast, jumping too many curbs, squeezing too many people in the front seat, loud music.... oh, brother!

Probably won't be getting a football uniform at our house, but it's so fun to see Brooks enjoy them!

After enjoying the presents and spending time with Hollie's family and Taylor, we were off to Houma, Louisiana to do more celebrating! We loved seeing Gran and my mom's sisters!!

Oh, and more presents to enjoy!

4 Days after Christmas we closed on our new house and were ready to settle in!!

Already cheering for the Rockets!!

After a few days of unpacking, our first week at a new preschool, trying to get utilities set up over the New Year holiday, and meeting new neighbors, we were off to Kerrville for our last Christmas!

The girls loved playing with their cousins!!

Harper and Hattie

Hunter read to Macy

Harper loved her new Rapunzel wig.

We are finally getting a chance to relax after being home. We had such a wonderful holiday and are thankful for all the people we got to spend it with! We are getting settled into our home and loving it!
