Balko Christmas & more



We had a great Christmas. My Dad surprised us with a visit & the kids loved having him here to celebrate with us. Corey was off work for 2 weeks & we had a blast being lazy, hanging out & doing our traditional Christmas activities. We went Christmas shopping, looking at lights, Trail of Lights, Barton Creek for a train ride, baked sugar cookies & decorated them, baked Jesus a birthday cake and much more. My sister even came for a visit after Christmas. Here is Christmas, Balko style & some more pics from December.

Lauren had some sort of virus or something over Christmas as she wasn’t herself - she wouldn’t even take her paci. I’m not convinced that she didn’t bite the heck out of her tongue as something was clearly wrong with it. Needless to say, she wasn’t cooperating for a family pic! I guess that’s one for the photo album!

One of these days, I'll get a good picture with all 3 kids!!!
There she is -- she does exist!


Bring it on!

Lauren didn’t care about any other presents after opening her own magna-doodle!

The cousins “rockin-out!”
What a great 2008!
