Ballard Christmas Card 2007

-
I always loved doing our Christmas card pictures as a kid. It was usually after Thanksgiving, and it meant the Christmas season was starting. It was sort-of the kick-off to Christmas, if you will. My mom was very creative with what we did and they always turned out really cute. Some of my favorites were my sisters and I at the mall, and we sat down with lots of bags around us and the Christmas mall decorations in the background. Another time, we went to Calloway's and posed in the middle of their Christmas tree display and that was our Christmas card. It didn't always involve us going somewhere and stealing their decorations as our card picture, but I was always proud to have such cute cards with thought out ideas. It embarrassed the heck out of my sisters, but I loved the attention!!!
I haven't gotten to that level yet, it is hard enough to get two young ones to look and you and somewhat smile! But, as they get older, I hope to come up with cute ideas and have cards to be proud of!

I don't have my blog friends addresses, but I wanted you to feel included in the Christmas card receiving, so I will post the card. Consider yourself carded!!!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
