Including The Tree!

Christmas in Texas, 2011 and 2020

The tree no longer sits on a table

but stands floor to ceiling.

Of these three cute little girls, Emma and Ava (the twins) grew from somewhat timid little 1 year olds

into very confident 11 year olds who think nothing of running their horses as fast as possible through poles and around barrels.

Allie is no longer a cute little 5 year old, but a cute teenager getting ready to get her driver's license.

Luke is no longer a sturdy little 2 year old playing with cars and trucks

but a tall, lanky 12 year old who uses his free time making challenging bike trails through the woods.

All of these children are tall enough to look (all 5'2" of)  me in the eye, and it won't be long until they catch up to Gramps (5'4").

We knew we shouldn't have blinked and let them grow up!
