Continuing on....

Ok, so that leaves us around December 15th...Well, with Reece recovering nicely in the hospital, the "Moore Family" had a fun getaway at the Gaylord Texan! We had been receiving cards in the mail about "Save the Date" and "The sleigh will leave at Noon" etc...and so finally the time was here and my funny father-in-law spilled the beans to Brad and told him our secret destination! It was a blast! We got there on Friday afternoon and when we checked into our rooms, a little elf had left us a big box of treats on the bed...fun presents and stuff! There were tickets to "ICE" which was awesome and really cold!

It was like 20 degrees in there - maybe colder-I don't remember-I just know I wore my ski-hat!
It was fun to spend time with Emily too. She is too funny! I love the way she shakes her booty when she walks-it is the cutest thing! She is a really good baby! We had a wonderful breakfast there and then went home on Saturday afternoon. It was a great little retreat and the Gaylord is beautiful!
Then came our class Christmas party...That was fun...Special thanks to Alyssa and Nicole for planning. It was at La Hacienda Ranch and they have the best beef fajitas! We played some fun games and just enjoyed being with everyone. One of my favorite people is Lil Amy Davis!She is such a fun girl-we got married a month before she did & she and Brian are great. They have a precious little boy-I loved their Christmas card. Brian is hysterical and has more stories than anyone I know.

This is my new favorite photo of us! I now have is on my desktop-it was a really quick random shot that was taken at the party and it turned out really cute. We don't get too many cute pictures-one of us usually has their eyes closed or as Brad would say-I have a gummy smile...oh well...this one turned out!
I guess that brings us to Christmas!!!! MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR!! This year was especially great because we had so much to be thankful for with the boys. Both were healing well and gaining weight. It was just great. I thought this was the year things would change but they didn't. We all still spent the night at my parents, put on our matching pajamas, and woke up Christmas morning to the kids and their fun toys! It was SOOO wonderful! I won the Pickle this year too! (My mom hides a tiny pickle ornament on the tree and you have to search for it and then whoever finds it wins a prize!) This year I won-I felt kind of guilty though b/c Laura and Amy couldn't really look b/c they had to watch the kids...oh well...I will win while I can.

Here are the highlights of Christmas...oh and this year we had "baby blue" pajamas in honor of the first boys born into the family!!
