Adventures of Madison, Ashlee Austin & Tyler!!!: December 2010

12.27.2010

Well, it's all over now. All the planning, wrapping, stressing, scurrying...All for 1 day that comes and goes so quick...Did you buy enough? Will they like it? Did you buy too much? Did you forget anyone? So MANY people lose sight of what holiday time is REALLY about...spending time with friends and family, watching kids laugh and play, watching grandparents be with each other and seeing the joy in their faces when they see YOUR kids faces. Those are the moments and memories I'll remember, that's what the season is for.
We had a WONDERFUL holiday season this year. We went to a ton of holiday themed places that the girls ALL loved. This was the 1st year that Madison really "got it". It was so fun to watch both girls unwrap their gifts and be truly THRILLED over ANYTHING that might be inside!!
They got quite a load this year and have been having a BLAST playing with all their new toys! Thanks to everyone who was thinking of our girls this season!
We had a little baking party with Titi, Nana, Melissa & my 2 favorite bakers, of course. We made sugar cookies, chocolate crinkle cookies, lemon bars, lemon iced cookies, brownie stuffed oreos, chocolate pretzels and finally, a peppermint chocolate cake! It was a mess ;)

Here are some pics from our holidays! Hope everyone is keeping warm in this CRAZY cold and having a wonderful season full of blessings :)

Hope everyone is having a nice holiday season! Who can believe the holidays are upon us! What a crazy-nuts time...I mean Blessing :)

We just got back from Disney..getting to be an annual trip with us...The girls had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! We were joined by Nana, Titi, Mima, & Poppi, who also seemed to have fun riding with the kiddo's!!
Although it was SUPER COLD, the parks were BEAUTIFUL and we still managed to do almost everything. We visited Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Sea World & Animal Kingdom. There was TONS to do and we soaked it all up :)
I took about a million pictures on this trip, even after all my deletes :) This post may be a bit overboard on pics but I just couldn't choose a few and I figured you guys wouldn't mind :)

As you will see, the girls are growing by leaps and bounds. Ashlee is talking up a storm and is starting to put words together. They are SO adorable together and SUPER loving...We're definitely enjoying this time!

Hope everyone has a chance to slow down and really enjoy the season with your families! XOXOXOXOX

One nite it was SO cold we had to leave. Ash was a little fussy and Jay started blowing on her face...I guess the heat calmed her and she passed RIGHT OUT in his arms while we were walking....Maybe it was his breath! HA!
