So thankful for my sweet girls!  So blessed to be their Mommy!  So glad I have great examples all around me and thankful for all they do!

And Bluebonnets in 2012... they sure have grown a lot!

Update on the girls

 It's been a while since I did an update... January just flew by, and February is doing the same!  The girls are growing up so fast and are super fun right now!

 Avery will be 3 1/2 years old next week!  What a fun age!!!  She really has a little personality now.

 She is always so happy, super sweet and affectionate, getting so smart and independent. She loves anything princess, Disney movies, and playing outside.

 She has a sense of style... she likes to pick out her own clothes and assessories, which usually consist of some sort of girly dress with tights, shoes and coordinating socks, and usually a matching headband and necklace.  I just love her!

 She loves to make us laugh...

 But mostly just smile...  She is definitely our little princess! 

 Natalie is now 20 months old... how can that be?!?  She is blossoming into a beautiful little girl, unique in her own ways. She loves dancing and playing outside. Her faves are Barney, Elmo, and Dora.

This is a fun age... 

But also very trying at times...  thankfully, it's getting easier and easier.  She is learning so many words right now and learning to communicate with us. 

 The girls are starting to have so much fun together. 

They just adore eachother....

Or at least most of the time... haha.  I look at the girls and just feel so blessed to not have just one incredible daughter, but two!  How could I be so lucky?  Just love these two little girls to pieces!

 

More Christmas

Our Christmas season included 11 family/friend/work parties and gatherings, which in the end meant exhaustion!!  It was lots of fun, though, and we really feel blessed to be able to get together with so many wonderful friends, co-workers, and family.  Lots of great memories...
Here was the last leg of our Christmas gatherings.  My Grandma's house and then the big extended family (my late Grandpa and his 3 brothers and all their families) the following day.  Here were a few pictures!

 Avery got more princess dresses and crowns!!  She wore this adorable pink one all weekend!
