Santa 2016

Here are a couple of pictures of the kiddos with Santa. Papa took just the girls to downtown Fort Worth to watch the cutting horses and visit Santa a few weekends ago.

Love this picture of them and Santa! Grateful they got to see him with Papa!

And here is the ones that the photographer took at Aaron's work party.

Just the girls

Event Weekend

Along with celebrating Morgan's birthday, we went to the Dallas Arboretum with Nana and Papa to see the 12 Days of Christmas last Saturday night. The girls had a great time and loved seeing all the lights and each scene.

My phone began to act up, so I didn't capture a few of the later Days of Christmas.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this man!

Twelve Drummers Drumming

We also had such an early dinner for Morgan because Brooklyn sang in the children's choir at church on Sunday evening. It was their Sacred Christmas program and it was a great time of fellowship and carols.

Nana, Papa, Gampa, Gamma and the kids

Morgan's 3rd Birthday

Our youngest princess, Mo, turned 3 yesterday!! She seems so much older than 3 to Aaron and I. She is compassionate and super duper goofy and we love her independent self! Morgan wanted a Pink Pizza Party (who knows how she even came up with this) and so we invited just a select few over to the house on Saturday to make personal pizzas, play with pink play dough and have yummy pink cupcakes.

Morgan and her bestie classmate Olive

On Sunday, we got together with Nana, Papa, Gamma and Gampa and had a very early dinner out. This sweet girl was definitely holding her own in the dessert-sharing round with her sisters!!

Happy Birthday Morgan Alese!

One for all and all for One

TTI Christmas Party

This past weekend, Aaron's work held their annual TTI Family Christmas Party and our family keeps multiplying with each year! The weather was cold and raining, so they didn't have the small train that runs around the parking lot this time and that was a bummer. But, the usual indoor games, crafts, face painting, pictures with Santa, cookies and hot chocolate were fun for the girls too.

Morgan had no problems with Santa this year (will post another picture of them with Santa when Papa took them later), which was great! I failed to take any pictures of Zach besides Santa holding him, but he mostly slept.

Aaron took this one, professional pic to come later (Santa's eyes closed like Aaron!)

Cutest Rudolph I've ever seen!

Love these pretty girls!

Updates on Zachary

Zach had his 3 month weight check and has gained 2 lbs, 7 oz!!! He now weighs 11 lbs, 8 oz and is doing great! He seriously is such a happy baby all the time. He and Morgan will go for their 4 month and 3 year well visits in January.

We also saw the urologist just before Thanksgiving and he was disappointed in what he saw. He basically said that the circumcision wasn't done well (it is asymmetrical) and it would need correction. I was a complete wreck about the whole thing because he will now have to undergo surgery and be under anesthesia. And let's be honest, Aaron and I are really mad that we finally have a son and this happened. It was the one thing he and I were beside ourselves concerned with and sure enough, it went wrong :(

Aaron and I are unsure when we will schedule the procedure. I have filed a complaint with the hospital in hopes to have his corrective surgery costs covered. They have started an investigation, but the timeline of all that is unknown. The urologist said that it'll be a minor recovery process and as long as Zach is at least 6 months old, we can do it anytime after that.

Preschool Fall Pictures

To order all of Cayleigh and Morgan's posses from their Fall photo session would have cost way too much money, so I took a few pictures of the proofs they sent. They were so stinking' cute that I couldn't handle not sharing!! I just LOVE the ones of the two of them together....so sweet!!!
