Fort Miller

We were bored one cold rainy day so we decided to build a fort...Daniel stayed in there for a good 30 minutes or more and made us pass him toys and snacks through a hole.

Big boy room

Well, we FINALLY decided to make the move from the crib to a big boy bed. We moved Daniel to the guest room and got him a twin bed. I was dreading the transition, but he's done GREAT!! He loves sleeping in his new room and doesn't get up throughout the night like I thought he would!

23 weeks--then and now

Here's a comparison of my belly at 23 weeks from last pregnancy and then this pregnancy.


THEN



NOW

Christmas Day

This Christmas was soo much fun watching Daniel's face take in all the presents Santa brought him! He was amazed that Santa ate most of the cookies and drank all the milk that he left for him. Then he had a blast opening presents. After presents I made a big Christmas day brunch then we headed to Conroe to have our annual Christmas dinner at my Grandma's house. It was a great day but exhausting!!

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we headed to my dad's house to open presents with that part of the family. We had a big cajun feast this year and it was delicious. We also made the big announcement that we'll be having a BOY in May. My brother and his wife also found out they're having a boy so they announced on that night too. It was a lot of fun--we each made a cake that had blue on the inside so when the grandmas cut into the cake, they knew it was a boy! My sister-in-law is MUCH more creative than me so her cake was just adorable, and mine was well, a bit embarassing next to it! :) It was a great night and we had a blast!

Christmas Cookies

Daniel was a big help in the kitchen making Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa. He helped me bake and helped Daddy decorate (and by decorate I mean eat)

Moody Gardens Christmas Party

This weekend we had our family Christmas party in Galveston. We went down early to hang out at Moody Gardens where we went through the Aquarium. Colton and Daniel (and Scott) had a blast!! There were a lot of sharks, and the penguin area was really neat! After the Aquarium we had our big family dinner at Fish Tails. Dinner ran long so we weren't able to make it back to Moody Gardens for the Festival of Lights, but it's OK since we already saw plenty of Christmas lights at Santa's Wonderland a few weeks ago.
