We have been quite busy once school started this year. So when Christmas came we were all glad to take a break from activities and just have some fun. We went ice skating in Austin but it was so warm there was water everywhere! But the kids loved it and they were actually all good skaters.

Catching up Part 2
Posted by Julie at 9:44 PM 0 comments
Hello?? Anyone there?
I am so embarrassed about my lack of posts and I have many excuses but I will spare those boring details and catch up! Last summer we went to Frisco to visit my brother John and his sweet family. One day we took all the kiddos on a field trip to In and Out Burger. I had never been and I must admit the burgers were divine.

New York City
The morning after Thanksgiving me and Chloe headed to New York City for a girls trip. My sister in law Cindy, my mom Cathy and one of my sisters Jessica all went. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment 4 long blocks from Time Square. We had an amazing time. But don't worry, I didn't bring the camera! So the pics are from the phone.
Chloe and I LOVED all the cool buildings and neighborhoods. This building was across the street from Bryant Park.
So NYC!

Christmas Decor 2010
I finally get to put out my Christmas china this year. I even bought my first cloth napkins! The plates have pine cones on them so the jar seemed to beg for pine cones.
Candy and treats, although they have been eaten quite a bit. Need to refill ASAP!
Love this candy cake stand. Its all about peppermint this year in the kitchen and on the tree.
This snowman didn't really go with the others so he got his own spot on the coffee table.
The mantle was tricky. I didn't do the traditional garland this year. My tree is right next to the mantle so I went with something more simple. All in all, I just love Christmas decor. I am still making a few more things for this year because I just can't stop myself. And when it all must come down, I do get a little sad. So I enjoy every minute.

I LOVE FALL & HALLOWEEN
Favorite time of year hands down!!!
And I live in Texas where fall is maybe a week long. But decorating fall is awesome!
Here is a look at my candy bar. I have been planning one for Christmas all year but decided to practice now. Love the labels. 1.99 at Michael's. Martha is so clever.

New Firsts
So the past month and a half has been packed full of new firsts. I knew the new little moments were coming and let's be honest, I was a little giddy. So here are just a few of our new Firsts.
Mia is on her First team. The Tigers. We were feeling really good about it because the color was right...can't go wrong with orange people.
Second she was soooooo dang excited to play. Then came the first practice and I knew this first was not going to be a fond memory someday. Nope. Turns out she doesn't like to run because it hurts her legs. Really.
But another good first was Mia's first day of pre-school. She was more excited than the picture proves. And she likes going. Although she did mention she thinks the crafts are dumb. Really?
First time to be able to clean my whole house at one time since 2002.
