The Miller Family: Going back...before Christmas...

OK so, forgot a couple pics from my phonefrom before Christmas.
(I'm sure you can tell from the quality)
The next couple pics were from
The Advent Spiral festival
at Great Oak.
Parker and I stayed the day
and helped set up for the warm festival.

We cored apples and stuffed them with the
handmade (by my baby girl and her classmates)
beeswax candles.

We went to the tea room for lunch in Tomball with Devin.

Before...

After...each child and their family would walk
around the sprial with their apple and candle
in hand and light their candle from the middle
candle and then set it down somewhere
within the spiral.

Moving on...only in Texas...in December will you
find children playing in the sprinkler naked with umbrellas
and rain boots.

The beautiful colors in our backyard

My sweet boy is getting so big and talking so much!
Most people don't hear him unless you are around
him for long periods of time once he warms up.
But, sometimes he simply won't STOP talking!

He is sooooooooooo sensitive!
If I don't give him the right color cup in
the mornings with milk and chocolate almond milk
in it, he gets so upset!

We recently took him to a wellness doctor and
have him on various vitamins to kick some infection
in his body that has been causing him to be more vulerable to
getting sick. Since then, he has been much more active,
playful and happy! We can definitely see a difference in him!

These two!!! I LOVE them so much!
They pretend that they have different names and
that they are getting ready to go to a wedding.
Their pretend names are Logan and Mara. lol
They seem to be getting along a little better than
usual and any given day, you will hear the beautiful
sound of their little laughs in our house.
I always stop what I'm doing to listen to that. I need to
remember to record it so I will have it forever!

My sweet girl! with a huge attitude!
But, I am so thankful I have her and her big attitude!
We've been blowing our attitudes out the window
mommy included lately. She will tell me to not look
while she blows it out the window and then after she is done
I look and she has a big smile on her face and she says, "it's gone!"

check out her beautiful butterfly!!!
She draws so awesome and love to doodle!
Notice the butterfly's bellybutton!

Our pretty little Christmas tree that Ella Bear picked out
right when we got off the tractor at the Christmas tree farm.

All of my babies!

The kids are starting to like to play with the dogs more now which makes
it easier to have them in the living room with us. So, they are getting more
attention now.
