Clemmer Christmas.

We celebrated Christmas early with the Clemmer's/Jones' this year.  What fun!  It was Lucas' and Preston's First Christmas.  Although they weren't really sure what was going on, the adults had fun watching them. They were more interested in the bows and wrapping paper than anything else.

Lucas eating paper.  Preston watching.

 Sweet Baby Preston.  Looks like a Christmas Card!

We have been so blessed this year with two baby boys to brighten our days (and nights).  Thank you Gran + Grandpa for making this Christmas so special.  We know you love the boys as much as we do.

P.S.   The Clemmer's have this term "simpled out".  Wondering what that means?  Let this picture define it for you.

April + Casey "simpled out".

Thanks for the laughs Clemmer's/Jones'.

Crawling.

So Lucas is starting to crawl. 

Ok it is a scoot.  

But I have seen him move from point A to point B without my help.  

I consider that crawling!  Look out world, here comes Lucas.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Decorating is done!  

Here are a few shots of our 2010 Clemmer Christmas Decorations.

We took Luke to get a Christmas Tree last weekend. 

Couldn't resist taking a picture.

R + H Christmas Party 2010

So many of you probably do not know that I work "part-time" for my dad's company, R + H Technical Sales.  I have since I moved home in 2004.  It all came about unexpectedly really.  Unfortunately, the day before I moved home, my dad lost his best friend and business partner to cancer.  Since I moved back in with my parents and did not have a job lined up, I attempted to help.  Six years later, I am still attempting to help.

My dad is kind enough to invite Casey + I to his Christmas Party.  It usually takes place at a local restaurant in The Woodlands, but this year he had a chef come to the house and make us all dinner.

mom, lenny the chef + dad

It was great!!!  I love my parents house and it is perfect for entertaining. 

So here are a few shots of the house before the guest arrived. 

We finally got to utilize their backyard too.  A big deal to me as the backyard was just dirt when I was growing up.  See the pictures below for the major transformation.

The house is beautiful mom + dad.  We had such a great time.
