Playing catch up...December 2010

I'm working on catching up on the last year. I was reminded about how much I've used facebook to keep up with friends and family and how much I miss working on this blog. So I'm going to attempt to give a summary of the last year in the next few posts.


December 2010 was exciting for us. We got to spend some time in Georgetown & Killeen with my grandparents and my mom. Granny & Papa Rex surprised the kids with a new truck.





Needless to say it was a big hit! It is still a favorite toy when we visit.

December also brought us family from Japan! Nana and her two girls, Urara & Ruruka, came to visit for a week!!! We had fun hanging out with the family at our place and Sarah's house. 

Hank, Nana & Nancy

Alex, Asher, Abigale, Abram, Urara & Ruruka

We enjoyed celebrating Christmas with them! All of the kiddos after they finished decorating the tree.
Pretty girls!!
Decorating a gingerbread house...
We also visited Brazos Bend National Park while they were here. The weather was very mild so we thought a some time outside. They were very surprised to see alligators in the wild. It was so fun watching their reaction and excitement.

The first stop brought much excitement...several alligators and a few turtles.




We went to the learning center and got to touch a baby alligator!

We also stopped at the playground so the kids could have fun. Ruruka made a new friend...a cute little ladybug.
 December was a good month! It was hard to see Nana and the girls leave but easier with technology...skype is so nice because we get to talk to/see them often.

Where has the year gone...

I have always had the best intentions to keep this blog updated but well...I'm just bad about sitting down and getting it done. I can't believe a whole year has passed since I last posted. I have lots to catch up on!
