This is a shout out to......

Dottie Suzanne.  

I know it's crazy, but she deserves it.  She is such a sweet big sister to Miss LG.  They sleep together at night and Dottie looks for her when she's gone.  She is so protective and always follows her everywhere she goes.  What other dog would let you swing them just for a giggle?

 She loves being with Lilly in whatever they are doing.....even playing with sticks. 

 Or lounging in the grass on a nice day. 

 Or watching ducks out the old house back door. 

 Nothing needs to be said about this cute overload pic.  OMG.....

She has loved her Lilly since she was such a tiny little thing.  Also, with this pic, can we take one moment to examine the yummy chunky legs on this baby.  Pure sweetness!

We got so blessed in the pet department!  Even Tony lets Lilly drag him around and would never scratch her.  Love ya Sue Sue!!

Weird/ cute videos!

Check out this girl's dance moves! Apparently I now have Siamese twins.....hehe.


And just a cute one of my babe.

Just some cute phone pics.

Snow day!! No school, time to play!

Face is dirty from lunch but when you're ready to play in the snow you just go!

This is what happens when you wake up at 4:45 am on the snow day.  Little mommy and Baby Dear passed out!

I normally have to wake her up when I pick her up from her class.  She always sleeps like this and I just had to snap a pic to remember her little sweetness.  She's just like she was when she was all bundled up inside mommy :)

Angel. 

Did I mention I love these girls?

Our pre-NYE outing to Sambuca.  Love, love these two.

We were celebrating 2010 being gone, thankfully, and what lies ahead for us all in 2011.  

All I know is that I am thankful for them. 

Thank you for always being there, for answering your phone in the middle of the night, for giving me a shoulder to cry on, for being there as I took my first laughs and my first steps at my new life, for telling me how it is when I need it, for going to court with me and for doing the biggest favor a friend could ever do.

Thank you for always being optimistic, encouraging, and understanding on all those days and nights.  Thank you for not believing those horrendous lies and knowing me well enough to know I am right and honest.  Thank you for helping me learn to let go and move on. 

Thank you for letting me vent and scream.  Thank you for rushing over when I needed you and giving me a home when I needed it too.  Thank you for your understanding families that always welcome me.  Most of all, thank you for being you and giving me the strength to move forward.  Thank you for that extra push and all the love.  XOXO

Here's to 2011. 

Good old fashioned family Christmas!

So every other year my cousin Karey and his family come to TX for Christmas.  It was perfect because it falls on the same Christmas schedule that I have Lilly.  It was sooooo amazing to see everyone and I just can't say enough good things about my family.  Maybe I am a little biased, but I seriously have the best family.  If you are lucky enough to be someone who gets to join it, good for you, haha!!  We had a good old fashioned family Christmas, complete with no electricity until dinner time, amazing gag gifts, and all our babies were running around like crazy.  Seems like yesterday I was holding my cousin's twins and now they are teaching Lilly the ropes.  Gosh, we are blessed!  Be prepared for lots of pics!

The girls!  Well minus little Coco, who I couldn't stop from snapping pics of her precious little self.  All four of the girls were in D&B originals, big smile on my face!

Coco, Emma, and beautiful mommy Michelle.  Couldn't be happier for J and Michelle.  You can't tell in this pic but there is no electricity.  The entire neighborhood was shut off on Christmas day so all the cooks were freaking out.  Luckily, my aunt had great neighbors with empty ovens and the electricity came on an hour earlier than expected!

18 pound prime rib roast people.  Delicious is an understatement.  

Me and whicky. 

Rachael, Nick, and me.  

With my cousin Karey.  I hadn't seen him since his wedding in Vegas two years ago.  What a GODSEND he has been this past year.  I may have made the most frantic calls to him.  He has heard me cry, scream, and finally laugh.  

Oh Colette.  You are so darm cute.  My Aunt Krissy said finally "MOLLY, stop hogging the baby!!"  I can't help it.  I love me a sweet baby love and she just makes my heart burst in happiness and smile from ear to ear. 

I don't know how to take red eye out anymore apparently :(

Happy baby girl.

She definitely looks like her daddy and it is so precious to see Jason adoring this little tiny princess.  What a blessing she is!

Brayden took this of us.  Love her just a little. 

Happy cousins destroying Aunt Karen's bedroom with new toys!

GAG GIFT TIME!!!  Not for the faint hearted.....

Mom got Gadue's weird poster back.  Great.  Scariest thing ever. 

We're kind of obsessed.

Dad gave this.......two girls dressed as Nacho Libre people I guess, plus a bottle of Sol.  They just got back from Mexico so he had to do something that he picked up there.

Leg lamp from Nick.

Inspirational pic from Emma.  

Can't go without a shake weight at a gag gift party these days.  Those things are not easy to do! HA!

This pic of this apron is all you will see......

So my aunt Karen gave a "Gadue in a box".  It was complete with her old moo moo, slippers, newspaper, her morning pills, her container she put her dentures in, and stale coffee.  It was hysterical and I couldn't stop laughing. 

Phew!!!  Whirlwind of a Christmas and it wasn't even over yet!  We left Houston on the 27th, my cousin Karey and his family came the 28th, my bestic came the 29th, and left Jan 1......woah.  I'm done to say the least!  What a wonderful holiday it was surrounded by all the people I love most.  2011 is going to be a very, very good year.  :)

Christmas morning

Surprise!  Santa came little angel love!!!  She was so excited and Sue Sue was too!

Happy Christmas girl!  She finally got a nice bed for Baby Dear that won't fall apart.  Now mommy has to make her some bedding for it.  Oh and please excuse the MESS of a TV stand......someday my dad will remember to bring a big drill bit so all my cords aren't everywhere. 

A dollhouse, complete with all the furniture and even a ballet room for her mini Fancy Nancy.  

Stocking #1 time!

YES!!!!!!

Leave it to Pixi to get her a cute little box to hold all her new princesses. 

New rain boots that fit and are so stylish!

A Christmas wouldn't be complete for LG without a new tutu and accessories. 

Fairy Tale Theatre.....do any of yall remember watching this as a little girl?  I LOVED it and can't wait to share with little miss.

With some of her loot.

Photos to start mom and dad's photo wall when they remodel their entire house.

All and all, a wonderful Christmas morning was had by all.  It was absolutely perfect.  Santa really loved LG this year that is for sure.  After we ate breakfast and got dressed it was off to Houston for a good old fashioned family Christmas!  With the best family ever I might add.  Everyone was there, it was great.  Pics to come!!
