On these colder days, the girls spend about an hour in the bath playing and "swimming"

The Trains at North Park

The Trains at NP benefit the Ronald McDonald House.  It is the only organization that provides a temporary home-away-from-home for families whose children are receiving treatment for a serious illness or injury at a Dallas area hospital. In an effort to lessen the burden, reduce stress, keep the family intact, and enhance the quality of life for these families, the RMHD provides affordable housing in a caring home-like atmosphere.

This is also one of our fav Christmas traditions. 





Neiman Marcus Christmas

Every year growing up, my Mom, Mimi (grandmother) and Babba (great grandmother ) took us to NM downtown for all of the amazing decorations, shopping and lunch.  Since Eleanor was a baby, we have gone for lunch and the decorations also.

This year Eleanor was old enough- kinda - (must be 4 yrs old!) to go through the slide in the gorgeous window display.  One of Eleanor's best friends, Caroline,  joined us this year and we hope to make it an every year tradition!

Sweet Amelia was VERY disappointed and kept saying, "I so sad I can't go in playground, but I too little." :(

Caroline happened to have the same dress so we all matched!!





 Love

Mimi and Grumps Early Christmas



We had a fun time with Mimi and Grumps opening presents, dinner at Patrizios, and looking at Christmas lights.  We wish we had them for real Christmas!!

Eleanor's School Program

Eleanor had her first school program this year since she is officially in pre-school. It was more than precious and she actually sang (a little).  I sat and listened to the monitor for 15 minutes tonight of her belting out all of the songs.  She just doesn't like an audience!
