You'll be in my Heart

When I was in Africa I would sing this song to the kids all the time. It has a special meaning to me because "they will always be in my heart, this bond between us can't be broken" I love you kids!

You'll Be in My Heart

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my hear
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep in side us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and foreer more

Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Always

Follow your heart and share your dreams along the way

The lid of the box they gave me has this picture on it.. We decided that the 3 little girls are the 3 of us. Also the top of the pic says DREAM. That has always been my favorite word, I love the meaning of it and all that can come from it. I just have an obsession with the word dream..

The best gift ever!

For Christmas my two amazing friends got me a "Texas Box" that they made for me. It contained:

a 3 liter of sprite
a ton of big cups ( reese's peanut butter cup)
a Texas map
a "sombody in Texas loves me" bumber sticker
a stuffed opposum
a Texan santa
a can of bug spray
a Texas deck of cards
a Texas heart sticker
a bag of Texas size jelly beans
a bag of Texas shaped chips
a "How to speak Texan" book
a small texas flag
2 Texas ornaments
a Texas hat
a tin of Texas mints
an umbrella
a giant checker board game
and it all came in the cutest hat box!

I always joke and say how everything in Texas is bigger and I am finding that it is so they made sure to add some of those "bigger" things in it.

It was such a thoughtful and heart felt present I absolutely love it! Thank you so much C and D! You two are the best!!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town!

Today Annabel's school class went on a field trip to the mall to see Santa Clause. It was so much fun to see all the kids with him. He was such a very sweet, touching, kind man. He was the real deal, the real Santa, what an amazing mane! He was so good with each of the kids and really took his time to hold, talk to and love each of the children! When I went to get Annabel from him he had a tear in his eye and said, "she is such a precious girl!" It was so sweet! Annabel touches the hearts of all! Thank you Santa!

Christmas Program

Tonight I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Christmas Music Program and it was BEAUTIFL! On top of the singing they had bagpipes, violines, and flutes. It was an amazing program and you couldn't help but leaving so uplifted and happy!

Gringerbread House

Every year we go to my grandma's and make gingerbread houses, this year she sent me mine in the mail so today I decided to make mine with Annabel.. It was so much fun! She would sit there an hit the house or take the things off faster then we could put them on and then she would just laugh and laugh! She even loved tasting the frosting! I had so much fun sharing my tradition with Annabel! Thanks Grandma!

Her Stocking

A couple weeks ago I finished Annabel's stocking that made for her.. It took quite sometime to make but I loved doing it!

Just the two of us!

We have so much fun together, her and I! We are two peas in a pod, her and I! We always laugh and smile, her and I! We love eachother, her and I!

Chocolate Advent Calendars

Every year since before I can remember my mom or grandma has bought us kids the chocolate advent calenders that count down the days til christmas. Well yesterday in the mail I recieved a package from my mom; containing 4 of these calenders one for myself, Annabel and the twins. It was such a fun surprise and fun to share one of my traditions with them. Even Annabel enjoyed tasting the chocolate!

Snow in Texas!!

*UPDATE*
So I was told that I have wintessed history because this is the first time it has snowed two years in a row in Beaumont.. Also it did snow enough to ever so lightly coat the ground.







I am so excited it is snowing here in Beaumont! From what I am told this is a rare thing! C,C, Bella and I went out to get pictures and to play in it! If you look really close you can see it!
