"Love me....NOW"

Ahhhhhh, sister love!!

Merry Christmas...

You know it's Christmas....when we put on our aprons...

and start the mixer...
yummmmm....
Pfeffernusses!!!!

A very manly way to spend Christmas.

A big girl bike!

I now have a professional uniform for my job...Mom...the Referee.

A Kitchen Aid mixer just like mommy's

Elliot's favorite gift...a pretend coffee maker (momma is so PROUD)!!

The girls named their new doggy Jake, he looks just like our neighbor dog!

Audra's favorite gift is her sister's scooter, lucky for her, Elliot has some growing to do so she is busy breaking it in for her.

Right now the turkey is in the oven, the pies are sitting on the counter, the rolls are rising on the stove...we're on our second pot of coffee...a merry Christmas indeed.

We miss our family so far away, you are in our hearts and on our minds today, a very merry Christmas to you all,

The Gordon-Zanes

So stylish...

Elliot came cruising out of Audra's room the other day all gussied up ALL by herself...
so stylish...

what...too much? Just right? Not enough?

Hot chocolate...

We had some hot chocolate this weekend...

with marshmallows of course...

it was VERY good!

Texas snow...

My husband swears it snowed the other night...he even took pictures to prove it. I think he just threw some fake snow from the mantel up in the air and said it had snowed. He is from Texas after all, what does a Texas boy know about snow! In the morning there were little piles of ice sleet left, brrrrrrrrrr.

Grocery cart...

Do you think she's having fun?

Family Dance...

This week at dance class it was Family Dance. All the moms and siblings got to come in and dance with the girls taking class.This is Ms. Jade, our teacher...

this is what the brothers did in the corner while the girls danced...

the moms would love this shot!!! You'll notice I'm not in this shot but behind the camera...smart right!!

Elliot LOVED this, she really got into it.

Elliot wouldn't take her eyes off her big sister, she tried to follow everything she did.

It was a really good time, now when ever we go Elliot will want to be in the room with her big sister.
