Missing Tooth!

Raelee lost her first top tooth (well it was a dramatic episode at home with Daddy pulling it out) on the 23rd!  So, she truly got to sing "All I Want for Christmas is My...."
She looks adorable.

Christmas Morning

The kids had a wonderful Christmas morning!  iPods, Taylor Swift tickets, razor skooters, a karaoke machine, basketball goal and ball pit were all great surprises Santa brought.

Mason Turns 2...Raelee turns 8!

Happy Birthday... Time is going by way too fast!  Raelee enjoyed a new guitar (she will start lessons in the next couple of months) and Mason received a new coupe! :-)

Christmas Day!

Christmas was a lot of fun with all the little ones running around enjoying Santa's final visit before heading back to the North Pole.  Stay tuned for Christmas morning pics too!

Christmas Eve with Grandma & Grandpa

Santa paid a visit before his big night!  Ho...Ho...Ho...

Christmas Eve 2012!

We always begin our Christmas Eve at Mamaw and Papaw's house for brunch starting around 10:30. We hang out there all day until Daddy gets off work and meets us there for a short bit before heading to Grandma and Grandpa Hawkins' house (Grandma Bugle's place.)
This year was no different.  We had a great time and the kids had a wonderful Christmas.  The biggest surprise?  COACH purses all around!

Merry Christmas... A New Tradition

This was the family's first Christmas without Great Mamaw (Mamaw Collins.)  We wanted to carry on the tradition the best we could, however, by starting something new.  We hosted the first annual Collins Family Christmas at our house on Friday, December 21st.  Everyone had a great time.  Uncle Bill played guitar and sang, which the girls thoroughly enjoyed.  There was food, presents and lots of fun!
