Jacob got to enjoy lots of time singing and playing the piano with Grandma while we were in New York. 

New Year's Party

After we got back from Texas, we traveled to New York to celebrate the New Year with Grandma and Grandpa.  We had a great time spending time in New York and enjoyed the annual New Year party with Grandpa's annual fire!

Caroline went ice skating for the first time at a local ice rink.  She LOVED it and is still telling everyone about it!  She did fall a few times but got right back up and could skate some by herself by the end!  Brave girl!

 The best part of ice skating- warming up with hot cocoa after a great skate!

Happy 2013!

Friends

My best friend Amy and her family recently moved back to Fort Worth from Midland.  We were happy to be able to spend time with them this year and stay with them for a few days.  Caroline loves Kate and learning her big girl ways!

We went to the Galleria in Dallas and enjoyed all of the beautiful holiday decorations.
