The Arsenaults

Christmas Lights!

In years past, I could never convince D.J. to put lights on the house. It takes alot of time, blah blah. Well this year, I had help convincing him from our friends/neighbors. So it started with one little idea to make our little circle cool with some lights around the sidewalk and lights on the house. Justin and D.J. can't do anything "little" though so it turned into a big project. BUT, it turned out GREAT!!

Little helper

After the guys got done, this was the entrance to our coldesac, pretty cool!

I've known the manger scence since I was a kid. Every Christmas I would look for it at grandma's house. Now I get to put it out every year in my own. My favorite manger scene. Maybe be the smallest but holds great significance.

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a lovely Thanksgiving day out at Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Nick's house

Most of the cousins

Trying to give some food to Faith

playing outside

One last picture with Laila and her cousin, just too cute not to share

Houston Zoo

It has been years since I went to the Houston Zoo and I have to say, it was awesome! My sister, Laila and I met my cousin Rhea and her two girls there. They had a blast. The zoo is so clean and pretty and big! We spent hours there. I definitly want to try and go more often!

Perfect shot with a smile!

Cousins!

Silliness!

Texan Football

Laila likes watching the Texan's games with me.

We like to dress up and match haha!

Now anytime any football game is on, she starts yelling, "Yes! Yes! Go! Go!" and then she'll thrown in a random "Aw man!" Its too funny.

D.J. suprised me with going to a Texan game this year. So much fun! Can't wait till next season!

Fall Fun 2012

We took Laila to a little pumpkin patch/petting zoo in October, it was a blast!

Picked the biggest one she could find

She did NOT want to touch the baby donkey. I love her expression.

Eventually she was convinced to put 1 finger on it

Then the baby donkey started to follow her! Too cute!

Grammy and Granny came over before to see "Nemo"

We did a little trick or treating in the neighborhood with the Meltons (our neighbors)

Laila wanted Zoe to hold her hand, she wasn't too into it LOL

They got tired and just sat down in the middle of it all

We joined the fun and dressed up as fisherman since Laila was our little Nemo

Just so pretty! That bag is actually Zoe's, they switched at some point. Laila had a pumpkin :)

Laila's 2nd Birthday Party

Laila's second birthday fell right in the middle of my test taking this year. I was stressed to the max and had zero time to host a party at home, which I usually love to do. So this year we had her party at an amazing indoor play ground place called Wonder Wild in The Woodlands. This place was awesome! They set everything up for you, you have private play time with just your party and a private room for your guests. The kids LOVED it. We have since taken Laila and her cousin back to play during open play time, which is only $10 for however long you feel like playing!
