Happy 2nd Birthday Little Madi Lou Who

For Madison's second birthday we went with a How the Grinch Stole Christmas theme, since her birthday is just 6 days before Christmas! Plus, I think she looks just like little Cindy Lou Who in the Dr. Suess book. The kids had a great time making "jing-janglers"and playing the be the Grinch and undecorate the tree game. The adults had a Grinch quiz which my mom won, some how she always wins the adult games at my kids birthday parties .........hmmmm. We also read the Grinch book and watched the cartoon. All the kids even went home with "Grinch Poop"......green m&m's. It was a fun party! You know I love a theme, and this was a really fun one!tasting the green frosty

I can't believe my little girl is already 2, it doesn't seem possible. Although I miss the tiny baby she was, watching her develop her personality and turn into our sweet little girl is more fun everyday. She is all girly girl, you will rarely find her without a baby doll in one had......often several! She is learning more words everyday and turning into quite the chatterbox. She is the
TOUGHEST 2 year old you will ever meet. She fall off of things, gets knocked down and gets right back up as if nothing happen. Oh and if you try and ask her if she's ok she will look at you as if you are cRaZy !! She is loving and sweet and asks me every night to "lay with me" before she goes to sleep...my favorite time of the whole day : ). I never could have imagined I would be lucky enough to have such a beautiful, smart, sweet loving daughter, I love being your mommy Madison!!!

Better late than never.........right?

So I'm a little behind...ok alot behind on this whole blog thing, but her ya go, Thanksgiving in December. We went to Shane's parents house for Thanksgiving where the kids had an absolute blast playing with their cousins! It was a full house indeed with both Shane's Mom and Dad's side of the families coming together. The kids had alot of fun playing in the leaves in their yard. We only have twigs for trees in our neighborhood so they don't have leaves to play in all that often.


Leaves, leaves and more leaves......





Grandma Gray with Kim's twins, aren't they the cutest!

Stay tuned for all of our Christmas fun and Madison's 2nd birthday...........

Snow in Texas!!

On Wednesday we woke up to an unexpected surprise....SNOW! The weather people said we wouldn't get any, so of course we woke up to a blanket of white. We bundled up and headed out to play before Jason headed off to school. Of course it was all melted my noon, but was pretty while it lasted!

You can see Zoe in the background playing, that dog loves the snow!

Maybe he didn't like the cold wet stuff so much after all!
