Tripp & Tate's Ornament Party 2009

Last year, I had a little ornament party with a few of my school friends and had so much fun I decided to do it again this year. Mommy and I made chili for everyone and I couldn't wait for the fun to begin! We played, ate dinner, the daddies read 'Twas the Night before Christmas' and then we exchanged ornaments. I got a gingerbread house ornament and my baby got a snowman ornament. It was so much fun and I think I'll talk mommy into making it a new tradition!

Mommy had us all matching. I don't think my baby liked it.

But she's all smiles with Miller Miller. Christmas hugs! Sort of listening to 'Twas the Night Before Christmas'

Pig Tails!

Getting my hair into pig tails is pretty impossible because I won't let mommy come close to my hair without throwing a royal princess fit! But, I love Miss Connie so much and she can make miracles happen- especially when she fixes Victoria and Skylar's hair before mine. I like being with the 'big girls' and might I add how cute I am in my pig tails?

Happy 40th Birthday, Daddy!

Yes it's true. My daddy turned the BIG 4-0 yesterday and mommy had a surprise party for him. It sure was a challenge for mommy because on the day of the party, daddy wasn't feeling well and mommy and Aunt Bunny had to figure out how to get him out of the house. Finally, they went to a nice dinner (where daddy ordered oj as his dinner. Poor daddy) and then to the surprise party place where he truly was surprised! Yeah - a success! We sure love our daddy and look forward to the next 40+ years with him. Happy Birthday, daddy!Mommy had a professional photographer. ha - not really but an iphone in the dark didn't do all that bad. Give mommy a break though - she couldn't bring a camera or else it might have blown the surprise!

Mommy's not bitter

Really she's not. She just happens to think that my baby and I are MUCH cuter and sweeter than the 20 Gap finalists and that our pictures should be below. Ah, she might be right but I'll be a good sport and say good luck to each of the finalists....

My new BIG BOY room!

We came home from Atlanta this afternoon and I had a big surprise waiting for me. My new bed arrived and daddy had it all set up! I'm so excited to have a big boy room and can't wait to have my first sleep over.

My new dresser and my airplane picture that will eventually go on the wall (as soon as mommy can get over her 'nail holes in the wall' phobia).
Some of the wall art for my airplane themed room.

Meeting Baby Abby

Mommy's good friend and old business partner, Miss Vicki, has baby Abby and we finally got to meet her! We went to see their new house and had a breakfast playdate. We sure had a great time with you and hope to see you in Austin for a visit soon!

Tatie loved Abby's soft caterpillar

Sweet new friends
Giving baby Abby hugs - although Tatie is only 3 months older

Atlantic Station

Atlantic Station was having carolers, train rides, hot cocoa, Santa and the lighting of the tree so of course, we had to go check it out. Mommy should have checked the weather because it was so cold while we were there. Fortunately, we had a few gloves and hats but my baby ended up with socks on her hands. At least hers were clean - poor Jake had to wear his mommy's dirty socks from her feet! Smelly! Afterwards, we all went to our favorite restaurant where we hear, 'Welcome to Moe's'. Three mommies, 5 boys and 1 girl......it might have been a bigger site to see than the Christmas tree that night!

The boys- Grady, Jake, me and Mclain My baby and I didn't mind the cold Miss Carrie, Jake and Grady Miss Kari, Mclain and Hudson

Santa sure gets around! Here we are reminding him of our wish list....again.

Welcome to Moe's!!!!
