christmas eve with shane's family





we celebrated christmas eve with shane's family at our house. it was a great evening and confirmed my suspicion that my children are the most spoiled kids in america.

gingerbread mania



it's our annual gingerbread house! amazing that the girls don't become diabetics on this annual evening. nothing like pure powdered sugar and copious amounts of candy being ingested on the sly.

lucy's holiday program




mommy had to miss this one and it was the first scheduling trauma in our family's history. **sniff sniff** i was scheduled to help at emma's school's holiday party and it was a the same time as lucy's school's holiday program. here are some photos from that cute little event (lucy is in the red dress).

shane is the superstar





shane played (very well, i might add) in the jesuit alumni game last week and, of course, was awesome. i'm always amazed at how well that boy can play b-ball. it doesn't take long for everyone on the team to hit him up to make most of the plays. poor guy...don't they know that we are old and out of shape??? the last photo is of shane and his grandpa, who comes to all of the jesuit alumni events (shane, his dad, a bunch of uncles and cousins, and brother all graduated from dallas jesuit).

emma's multi-cultural holiday program



homage was paid to the hindu gods, the dreidle and christmas, as well as snowmen and the generic season of winter. it was all very p.c. and it was fabulous! cute, cute girls. these pictures aren't great...it's really hard to get a good shot in that auditorium, but they are the best i could come up with! in the first photo, emma is in the bottom row, 4th girl from the right with the white bows. in the second photo, she's first in line to come down off the stage.
