I have a sad confession to make...back in July, Tulip went to live with another family :(. At first, it was a temporary trial arrangement but they fell in love with Tulip and we fell in love with not having a seizing, barking, child-hating animal in our home. Her new family is just a mom and dad (no small kiddos)...they've already taken her on vacation at least 3 times (they text me and tell me when she's having fun), she goes e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e with them...seriously, they take her with them all the time and she's therefore blissfully happy (and would HATE coming home). It was probably the toughest decision Andrew and I have made as a married couple. It was really, really hard but totally a blessing from the Lord.
That being said...since we are now a dog-free establishment, Kensington has really become obsessed with my brother's two dogs, Lola and Ellie (a boxer and a lab). She talks about them all the time and is always wanting to go hang out with Uncle Seanie and his dogs. Her favorite part of being a co-dog owner with her uncle...walking them...or as you can see...her being walked by them. Yesterday, she went to the park with them and Seanie let her walk Lola...
I personally think Kensington having dogs that live with, are cared for by, and paid for by my brother is the best scenario for our little family.

Tonight, we took the kids to the Galleria to sit in Santa's lap. They were P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S. This year was so easy that it kind of went by as a blur. We walked into the mall and right up to Santa (no line). Kensington hopped right up there, sat sweetly and asked for a pony. She said "cheese" and jumped off. Then Smith ran right up there, sat sweetly, asked for a scooter, said "cheese" and hopped off. That's it. Done. No melt downs circa 2009. Nothing but sweetness and smiles for Old St. Nick.
They won't believe in this for long. I'm trying to soak it up.

All of my friends have taken their kiddos to the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort this year to see the Christmas lights and since Lovie and Papa Jay live right next to it, we decided it would be foolish not to check it out ourselves this year.
We ate lunch inside the hotel at one of their many restaurants. It was very yummy!
Then we looked through the shops and walked through the Christmas wonderland.
I love my Dad!
Kensington first had a candy cane...
...then Lovie bought her a giant gingerbread man :).
He ate the entire thing. The entire thing. Little man can eat BIG!
Looking at the trains with his Lovie.
We had lots of Christmas cheer yesterday!

It's hard to believe that it was exactly one year ago today, when we went on our first carriage ride around down town McKinney. We decided to make this an annual tradition and continued last night.
First, we ate dinner at Square Burger, followed by ice cream next door. Here we are eating ice cream and waiting on our carriage ride.
Super excited about the horses coming!!
We loved on the horses before climbing in the carriage.
Snuggled with my boy
Andrew is snuggling with his (slightly concerned) girl. At first she wanted to ride backwards but then changed her mind...I think she preferred facing forward.
A cozy night with my family (and some horses). See you next December 1!
