We have a teenager in the house!!

We officially have a teenager in the house!

James and I have spent all week reflecting on the last 13 years and how much God has carried us through. We have been so blessed by this amazing and beautiful young lady.

 Wednesday she woke up and opened her gift from her Nonna.

 James and I had lunch with her that day at school.
That night she opened her "big" gift, a surprise girls weekend trip to Dallas Comic Con in a few weeks.

 She also received a new iPhone 5C.

 We had dinner of her choice at Golden Corral. It will forever be remembered because poor Christopher got food poisoning.
Last night we had round 2 of party celebrating with cookie cake, tacos and watching the Mazerunner.

 Opening gifts...

 This morning she had lunch with her GG who made her a blanket.

 and breakfast with her PawPaw Roland and Grandma Dawn, who gave her some Dr. Who gifts.

We have had the best week celebrating our girl! Now the countdown begins to our trip to Comic Con!

Ringing in 2015

Happy New Year!

We had a great time ringing in 2015. We stuck to our New Years Eve tradition of appetizers and board games.

Christopher made his meme's berry crumble for us!

We played Disney HeadBanz (thanks Aunt Karen)

Guess Who?!

Our dinner spread, you would think we were feeding an army! 

Our family tradition of Wahoo! 

Our new game, Clue

We are such party animals :)

Then there's always a memorable game of monopoly! There were so many laughs around that table. The kind of belly laughs to where you can't breathe. It was such a magical sound to my soul.

I would not have wanted to spend my New Years Eve anywhere else!

New Years Day was filled with playing in the snow, Netflix marathons and packing up the Christmas decor.

For dinner we had our traditional New Years dish of cajun cabbage and John and Stephanie joined us. It was yummy!
