Where Have We Been...

I have no excuse.. we have been busy but not to busy.. and the thought of having to write several post to catch up was causing me  to not even get started on task.. and I know this isn't ideal but this is what I am going to do to catch up.. one big post of life lately..

We celebrate the arrival of Santa to downtown Cedar Falls by going to Holiday Hoopla! This has become an Austin Tradition and we enjoy seeing Santa and kicking off the holiday season!! We also get to see some winter fireworks which is pretty fun. This is also the night our Elf on the Shelf gets delivered to our house, so after we see Santa its fun to head home and welcome Elfy home for the holiday season!

We celebrated Christmas with our sweet JoAnna and she knows Charlee so well and when she saw these PJ's she knew Charlee would love them and as you can see.. SHE WAS RIGHT!!

We made a fleece blanket for Great Aunt Joan for Christmas but before we got started Charlee thought it was the perfect place to lay around since the fabric was so soft and of course Zoe though it was the perfect place to do a bridge!

We got have breakfast with Cinderella and we got to play with Cinderella and dance with princess's. Once we left the breakfast Charlee asked when we were going to eat breakfast, she was so in awe of everything the silly little lady forgot to eat her pancakes:)

We went and saw Santa!!! This was pretty common this year.. Z did the talking and Charlee did the standing but not to close.. she was of course quick to whisper her wishlist to Zoe so she could relay the information!

Another picture with Cinderalla at the Cinderlla breakfast.. look at her beautiful carriage!! Charlee was IMPRESSED and in AWE of all of this!

We went black light bowling and had a great time bowling and dancing and playing under the black lights!

We rode the Polar Express!! Charlee wasn't nearly as worried about Mrs. Clause and was more then happy to pose for a picture with her! Something about a sweet old lady that doesn't seem so scary I guess!

We stood outside waiting to see Santa and to pass the time we took silly pictures of all of us!

So that is it, in a quick nut shell and now that I am all caught up it shouldn't seem as intimidating to write more posts..

We are all doing great and living life with in this crazy crew is wonderful!! Charlee is busy growing and changing every day. Some of the words she uses just crack me up and I love all of her facial expressions.. sometime used appropriately and other times not so much! I just adore her spunk and my one prayer for her is that she continues to believe she can conquer the world.. because if anyone can do it.. it would be our CHAR!
