Rodriguez Christmas

The day after Christmas, we went to Concan to celebrate Great-Grandpa's 85th birthday. Then we went to Temple to celebrate Christmas with the Rodriguez side of the family. It was wet and cold, but the girls had a great time!



 Oh, how they love their Grandma!


Date night in Austin!


Christmas with the cousins!


Grandma and Grandpa took the kiddos to pick out new boots.  Julia was set on black, to match her outfit, and Olivia picked out the blinged pink ones!



At Johnny and Courtney's reception.


One of the groomsmen in the wedding had a military service dog, so I was in charge of him during the rehearsal and wedding. Rudy is such a sweetheart and so loyal to Shane!

Christmas in Pearland

For the first time since the girls were born, we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas at HOME! We cooked our first turkey and went to church on Christmas Eve. We also let the girls sleep in our bed, which is a special treat!




The girls woke up around 7:30 to see what Santa brough! for Olivia: a Barbie castle and password journal. For Julia: a DocMcStuffins doctor kit and a Barbie car.


Here they are together, sharing their new ride!


Julia was so precious this year, she LOVED every single gift she got! She would hug everything tight and say, "I love it!"



Daddy cooked us Texas shaped waffles with his new waffle maker from my parents. Yummy!

Christmas in Plano

We celebrated Christmas in Plano a few days early. 
 Here are the girls in their Great Grandmothers' old hats.

We had Autry Christmas at my cousin Mike's house. Eating, Christmas story from the Bible, caroling, and opening presents!




And finally, we had Jackson Christmas at my parents. Lucy popped in our family pic!

A Little House Christmas



We took the girls to see a play based on A Little House Christmas. Olivia wanted to dress like Laura, so I pulled out the dress that my Gramma made Lori in 1976. I love how perfectly it fits Olivia and how her braids look just like Laura's! She was the cutest girl there, and the only one dressed like Laura!
