Christmas and winter 2015

The presents have started!  Whoa these are some loved little girlies.  Thank you so much to all who have helped make their Christmas so great.  The girls truly loved every single gift--I should have taken video of their reactions, alot of squealing and laughing, fun to be a part of.  Clara was pretty funny also, crawling on top of presents, eating wrapping paper, enjoying being with the family!

stockings!  Clara looks like she knows what she is supposed to do huh?! :)

in the midst of the chaos--it has been so wonderful to have the new toys, with the winter storm they have provided hours of new entertainment for them!

annnd... a blizzard in Midland, TX.  For real.  We ended up with about 8 inches, and with no plows within several hundred miles, no way to get anywhere safely--again, thankful for all the new Christmas gifts to occupy kids!

so let's get all bundled up and go play!

snow angel for Evelyn

but Clara and I just hung out inside, it was still pretty cold

today it's still mostly all here, kids ready and raring to go out and play again soon, tomorrow it should begin melting 

and a random one of Clara in a basket--check out them rolls.... impressive!

Christmas and winter 2015

Christmas 2015--as well as some random pictures thrown in for good measure. 

these 2--either play extremely well together or try to kill each other--depending on the day. This day was a good day, each with their own baby belt carrier designed by Evie

oh bother--she is pulling up now... all the time on everything.  Also, just today she stood by herself for a few seconds.  And here we thought we were going to have a "late" by Williams' standards walker

the "gingerbread house" otherwise known as the Frozen castle this year

Christmas morning pajamas!  thanks Nana!

 aww, oldest and youngest

 and a few extra of baby Clara beara

Family pics 2015

Never posted these--we went to the Museum of the Southwest and took these with a tripod!  Some are fuzzy when large, but for our first time doing this with no outside help, I think we got a few good ones.  And the kids had a blast playing afterwards...  Also here are some Christmas pictures of the kiddos.  New Year's resolution, better posting on the blog... ;)

tried to go to the Christmas parade again this year with Papaw, but got rained/stormed out... seriously... ridiculous in Midland, TX, but oh-well.  

settled for ice cream and Grassland lights

check out this cutie, growing up so fast

reminds me of pictures of my sisters...  

Found these 2 gems.. she'll love me for them some day.  Haha... potty training is going very well with her, hurray!  

 had to show a few of the ones that didn't make the Christmas card "cut"

yep... alot of this look happened, check out Evie's face contrasted with my face... good stuff!

and we're done, go run off some energy!

such a cool place, we had a great afternoon all in all.
