Christmas In Houston

Doug and I drove to Houston on Wednesday, December 30th to visit Karl, Audrey and Aurora.

On Wednesday, Aurora opened her gifts from the Kiefers (Mega Blocks and a pink ball)

Thursday, December 31st. Doug and Karl installed new pendant lights above the breakfast bar.
Sorry I didn't get any photos of the completed project.  They would finish the project in time for the neighbors to come over for a New Years Eve Meet & Greet.

Friday, January 1st. Aurora got to open her Christmas gifts from Mimi and Poppa.
She loved the bows and really loved tearing the paper into the smallest of pieces.

Aurora loves that she can make her giraffe go without help from anyone. 

We also helped Aurora with walking and talking.
She is saying words like Mom, Dad, but we added Hello to the mix.
She is also advancing in her walking and will be a pro at walking by the next time we see her.

Karl and Audrey have been making home-made gifts each year. This year they made bath soaps.
I am currently enjoying my sandal wood scented soap. We gave them gift certificates to use on their upcoming Royal Caribbean cruise.
