Our trip to Brenham for Christmas! Austin is sitting with his Daddy :)

Austin got a cool helicopter toy at Grandpa's house! He is intently staring at it!
We waited 1-1/2 hours for Santa - YIKES!! Wade walked around the mall with Avery and Andy for about an hour of that time and I stood in line. Austin actually slept for an hour in line. Here he is, rested and ready to go :)
Avery and Andrew were excited too!
First picture - pretty good!! Austin doesn't seem to know what's happened yet and Avery is holding on to him. Just wait!!!
Uncle Alan with Austin - believe it or not - this was the first time he held him EVER!
Little Mia opening a Christmas gift!
Austin was just chillin with me!

Cool! Andrew loves anything Hotwheels :)
December 23rd - opening her jammies!
Andrew too :)
Daddy and Austin watched :)
Amy brought Precious with her to mom and dad's. I think this was Austin's first time to see a cat and he seemed to like her!
Poot kids - doesn't look like there are enough gifts for them to open!!!
Austin has no idea what is going on!!
But, he will learn soon enough :)
Avery was patiently waiting her turn to open a gift :)
Austin loved everything he got. He has lots of new toys to play with now!
Andrew was really excited about the Hot Wheels set from Rob and Jen!
Avery loves the Littles Pet Shop set from Nonny and Poppy. She has it set up in her room already!
Austin in his Santa hat :)
He just looks too adorable in this picture!
Avery was asked to sing with a group of carollers before the Christmas Eve service. Here she is with her friend Maddie Pearson.
Here's Avery walking into the Christmas Eve service. Her new dress was so beautiful on her!
The Hildebrandt Family Christmas celebration was at Spring Chateau this year! Nana brought a birthday cake for Jesus and Avery was asked to blow out the candles as she is the oldest of the great-grandchildren. She felt very special to be asked to do this!
Nana bought almost all of the great-grandkids rubber boots! Avery and Andy have actually wanted some for quite some time, so they were really excited to get theirs! The wear them every time they go out to play now :)
Andrew looks so excited because he got the Crayola Color Explosion Glow Board he wanted so badly!
Here is Andrew and Joshua showing off their new boots! They look ready to jump in some puddles :)
CHRISTMAS MORNING!! Avery opened her first gift - a new skateboard!!
She also got the Disney movie Enchanted.
Andrew got his very own tooth fairy pillow! See further down this post for his first chance to use it!
Andrew really wanted the Mega Rig space shuttle set. He has been playing with it lots already!
Santa brought Andrew Wii Lego Indiana Jones. Do you even have to ask if he's played it already???
PawPaw brought awesome gifts for the kiddos! Andrew got Wii Lego Batman (which he is playing as I type) and Avery got a Bratz laptop!
Cute shot of Andy :)
Avery was playing with the laptop before we even got it out of the box!
PawPaw brought Austin a sock monkey! He loves it :)
Mimi (Darlene) and Grandpa Eddie came over the day after Christmas. Avery got this beautiful chandelier for her room! Andrew got an awesome fan, but I will have to get a pic once it's up because the one we took that day did not turn out for some reason!
Another sock monkey! It's ok though, Austin loves monkeys! Darlene bought Austin an outfit to match the one she put on the monkey :)
I finally took the sling out of Austin's tub :) He wasn't really too sure of this idea! He kept slipping down, poor baby!
I spent almost 5 HOURS in Avery's room on Saturday and cleaned all of her dressers and her closet and every inch of her room. 6 bags of trash later, it looked amazing! Wade put up her new chandelier and it looks great! The light is not pink, it just looks that way in the picture.
We've been gradually taking out Austin's new Christmas toys. Every day is like Christmas for him! He got to play with his stacking rings today.
Here bubba, you take it!
Andrew loves playing with Austin!
And Avery? Well, Avery was mad because I was letting Andrew play with Austin and told her to back off for a change :) Yep, she is still a baby hog!
Remember earlier when Andy got his tooth fairy pillow? Well, Andrew is losing teeth at a rapid pace! He told me he had a loose tooth this afternoon. I told him that while it was loose, it would probably be a few days before it was loose enough. Well, Andy took that as a challenge and cranked on that tooth! His daddy pulled it after dinner. I think Andrew was just looking forward to using his new tooth fairy pillow, ya think? This is his second tooth to lose!
Ok, so Austin got 2 sock monkeys for Christmas this year! I knew he was getting one from Darlene and Eddie, but how was I supposed to know his PawPaw had picked out the exact same toy? Here is Austin with his sock monkey from MiMi. She bought matching outfits for Austin and his sock monkey :)
Too cute!
I LOVE his face in this one (Austin that is!).
Looks like Austin is waving in this one, plus he's starting to eat the monkey :)
Avery got a very stylish purse and a Taylor Swift CD from Adam, D'Ana and Mia!
Unce Alan gave her a new camera, a Taylor Swift barbie doll and a fashion show tv video game!
December 23rd - opening her jammies!
Andrew too :)

Avery singing! Several people told me that they love to watch Avery sing because she puts her all into it. I agree, she loves it!
We couldn't see Andy as well from where we were sitting, but here he is! He knew every word and sang and recited his little heart out!

Andrew got a marshmallow shooter! Don't worry, Avery got one too - that way the war would be fair :)

Avery's gift from Santa was the Wii Sing It game! It's basically karaoke with a lot of her favorite singers. She loves it and is really quite good at it!

Yummy - BOOKS!!
PawPaw brought awesome gifts for the kiddos! Andrew got Wii Lego Batman (which he is playing as I type) and Avery got a Bratz laptop!
Not to be left out, Wade got an edger attachment for his weedeater! I don't have a picture of the gift I got from Ronnie, but it is a beautiful Dirt Devil stick vac! Andrew broke the one I had, so I asked for a new one :)
