Said good-bye to our puppy Mimi on December 1st. Izzy has coped with this just fine and still laughs about the things Mimi would do. We are happy we gave her to a friend who had another dog to be a play-mate for Mimi.
Izzy's adorable School Christmas Program. She was a "baker" with the rest of the girls in her class. She stole the show!
Christmas Eve with the family-the girls in their Santa-jammies, Aaron in his scrubs from his holiday shift, and me with a 27-week belly!
Santa brought Livi this adorable-singing-rocking pony
Santa brought Izzy Disney princesses galore!-New Years Eve sleepover with Burleson cousins!
