Christmas with the Baileys!

On Christmas Eve we met Andy's parents, and grandparents along with his sister's family for a Christmas get together. We ate at Saltgrass for lunch and then went to Brooke's for gifts and dessert! Of course, we had to get in a game of marbles, too!

So thankful for our family and that Christ is in the middle of it all!

Christmas Cookies with the Pattis!

Before the Patti's left for Christmas break, we got our families together for Christmas cookies, played Santa Bingo and enjoyed each other's company! It was a great afternoon full of fun!

Cookies anyone?? These were so good, I think I ate about 5!

The guys decided to help ice the cookies as they talked.

Mindy & Jen- so blessed to have her in my life!

Love all the colorful cookies-- but the cross was just perfect!!

Santa's Village

Since the older kids were in school, we decided to take the younger ones for some fun! We went to the Santa's Village in Richardson- it was Preschool Day!

So hard to get a pic of them all looking at the camera, much less being still (Carson is trying to hold Dylan!)

Cute cousins!


Haley loving her Uncle Andy!!

Boys enjoying juice and cookies!

Carson in the Firehouse...just a little too big, buddy!

Boys again, they had a great time together!

Girls' Night Out!!

As a yearly Christmas tradition, the Lippman girls and Bailey girls get together for dinner, presents, and fun! The girls were so happy to see each other and spend some time together. We had Benihana for dinner, and then to Starbucks for Hot Chocolate & gifts!

The girls have really missed each other since they both left FBA!

We invited Kate to come with us, so it could be all girls! She was so excited to come!

Of course, Julie got her a present too! Thanks Julie!



Caroline got gift cards from Kayla!

Kayla got a gift card and personalized notes from her BFF!

Thanks Julie & Caroline for a fun night.

Let's Get out of the House!

Chuck E. Cheese- of course!! Great fun with the cousins. We only had Carson & Kayla, so we met Dustin with the kids (Karla was not feeling well).

Dylan had a ball!

Haley loves her Uncle Andy-- she wanted to hold his hand through this "ride".

Andy getting his "fill" of Chuck E. Cheese too!

These cousins love to spend time together...they were inseparable!!!

Haley drove the Monster Truck...and Dylan wasn't sure what he thought!

Great fun time with the Self family!
