Happy Birthday, Shyla!

We sure love this spicy little girl! Shyla is so sweet and loving - but watch out when she's mad! She also prone to sassyness and attitude. lol This little cutie is definitely our family's comic relief and we truly needed her in our lives! 

Christmas Day

Christmas Day started for us at 4:45am when Amber woke David and I up. I didn't mind. I LOVE Christmas! So she and Jade went out to see what Santa brought them. I love listening to them ooh and aah. Makes me happy. Anyways, after both of them coming in to sho me what they found in their stockings a few times, I told them to go wake up Paisley and then Shyla. Once everyone had had a chance to see what was in their stocking, David and I got up to join them. The rest is a pretty big blur of wrapping paper, boxes, and gifts! lol Katie and her family and also April and Devon joined us for an afternoon dinner, and Katie and I exchanged gifts. 

Stockings! 

Wes made the cradle and I painted it =)

Black onyx with black and white diamonds surrounding. LOVE!!!

Cannot believe the amount of thought and effort that went into collecting these dishes piece by piece!

Thank you, Grandma and Bobo!

Each girl got their own suitcase/duffel. Now to plan some trips!

Christmas Eve

Twas the night before Christmas..... And time to party at the Cresap's! We did all our fun traditions:

Christmas jammies from the elves! 

Santa left this note because David accidentally used "Santa's" wrapping paper on my presents - which was discovered by Amber. So he had to quickly make up some story about Santa forgetting it here last year or something.... Silly David! 

We sang songs. This one was Shyla's choice - Once There Was A Snowman

We opened Christmas cards from Grandma and Grandpa Robertson

Also, we watched Claymation and A Muppet's Christmas Carol, read The Night Before Christmas, left cookies for Sants on his special plate along with a mug of hot chocolate, and set the stockings out to be filled.

Horse Riding

One of my BFF's April brought her horses over this morning to share! Everyone got a turn and I got 2 turns because I helped her bring the horses back to their pasture. We loved it so much, David and I have reopened the idea of having a couple horses. We'll see. But I think it's pretty possible we'll be horse owners in 2014!

Seriously....have you ever seen this girl so happy?? 

We need a bigger horse for David and I though
