Christmas with the Big Girls

We had a great time with the big girls during our early Christmas celebration. Hannah and Hayleigh were so excited to have our traditional fondue night, complete with having a picnic in the playroom upstairs. That was really fun. Nora thought it was quite a treat and of course thought it was fun to dip her food! Imagine that! Dipping is quite a big deal in her world.

Our family "Christmas Eve" tradition - Fondue!

Wow! A picture of something other than Nora! :)

Mark and his three girls!

All of the girls putting on a dance performance. How cute is that?!?

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving in the Newman household. We were so thrilled that Matt, Stephanie and the boys came to Dallas to visit for the first time since we moved here! Yippee! To make the trip even better, Grammy and Buddy came too! All of the Newman clan was together for a few days. The big girls came too. What a fun holiday!

Everyone arrived Wednesday night. I can't believe how good those sweet nephews did on the 12 hour drive. We had a fun dinner and then everyone went to bed exhausted. Our house was busting at the seams! We had Thanksgiving early since Mark, Matt, Hannah and Hayleigh headed to the Cowboys game. I cooked my first turkey, so that was an experience in itself...

We played lots of games, had fun playing outside, ate lots, took a fun day trip over to Fort Worth and just had a blast. What a great Thanksgiving!

Matt, Stephanie, Seth, Jesse, Luke, Aaron, Grammy and Buddy - thanks for making this Thanksgiving super special for us. We love you!
