Christmas 2015!

The girls got all dressed up the week of Christmas and headed down to Conroe with Nana to take pictures with Santa.  Before they left I took a few quick pics of them.  They all looked so pretty in their Christmas dresses!

Posing on the fireplace.  Pretty ladies!

Love this one on the front porch.

And a few more on the fireplace.

Lovin' on Avery Mae!

And we even got one with little Paisley too!  Love these 4 so much!!!

The weekend before Christmas we celebrated with Jacob's brothers and their families.
The guys.

The grandkids (minus Paisley).

Somebody loved her new Minnie Mouse!

Sydney was super excited to open presents and loved her new boots!

They got matching Mickey and Minnie stuffed animals.

Sweet cousins love each other so much!

Jayda and Uncle Justin!

Daddy and baby P hanging out while everyone opened presents.

The girls both did a Christmas dance performance at the dance studio. 
They did a great job and seemed to have fun!
Sydney did a ballet and tap performance and did so good.  
She loves her BFF Lainey so much!

Miss Avery posing for me by the Christmas tree.  Sweet girl

Jayda did two performances, one jazz and one hip hop.  She did great!

And this is the last picture I have from Christmas!  I'm sad I don't have anymore, but our lives have been pretty crazy lately so I'm not too surprised.  So, we'll finish off this Christmas post with Sydney holding sweet Tiffany.  I hope everyone had a great Christmas!  Here's to more posts and more pictures in the New Year!

Avery Mae Turns 3!

Miss Avery Mae turned 3 years old on December 14, 2015!  How in the world is our baby already 3 years old??!!  I really can not believe she is already getting so big!  Avery is such a sweetheart.  She has a very kind and sweet personality.  She loves to give hugs and kisses to us and her sisters.  She talks all the time and asks "why" at least 500 times a day! ;)  She is so curious, and very smart.  Avery adores her sisters and looks forward to playing with them everyday when they get home from school.  She loves to jump on the new trampoline they got for Christmas.  But, she has to have a sister out there to jump with.  Avery has been hanging out with me at home a lot since Paisley was born.  She decided pre-school was not for her this year so she's with me everyday but has been doing great.  I always worry that she is getting bored at home, but she says "No Mommy, school is boring, being at home is fun!"  So for now I'm ok with her being here.  Soon enough she'll be heading to kindergarten and I will be so sad, so I better soak up with precious time with her while it lasts!  Avery's favorite tv show is Peppa Pig.  She loves it so much we even had a Peppa Pig 3rd bday party for her at the house!  She also likes to watch Mickey Mouse and Paw Patrol.

She is good at posing.  Love her!

Such a pretty little ladybug!

We had Avery's Peppa Pig birthday party on December 12th, the saturday before her bday.
Lots of balloons!

Cupcake toppers and party favors.

Jayda and Dillon hanging out in the bounce house.

Avery had so much fun bouncing with Ty and Dillon.

I asked if I  could take her picture and this was the face she gave me...next time I won't ask!

Singing happy 3rd birthday to this sweet thing!


She enjoyed the blue icing on her cupcake!

Sisters having their cupcakes too!

And they were a hit with Ty too!

Avery loved opening her bday presents!

Playdough from Mammaw, yay!!!

More presents, with a little help from big sis Sydney!

A Peppa Pig house from Oma,  She loved it!

And she finally got her very own mermaid barbie (like Sydney's).  
Hooray for not having to share with Sydney anymore!

And she got a super soft new Minnie Mouse blanket.

And these sweet friends were just too cute watching Avery open her presents!  Avery had great party and we are so thankful to all of our friends and family that were able to come and celebrate this special little girl!

Paisley Grace Paschal is Born!!!

Miss Paisley Grace Paschal made her entrance into the world on Thursday, November 19th, 2015 at 7:51 a.m. She was 6 pounds even, and 16 1/2 inches long.  She was so perfect and  sweet! 
She is our tiny little miracle baby!
I packed lots of clothes for her to take to the hospital!


Love her pretty little outfits!


And she's HERE!  Sweetest little bundle of joy ever!

6 pounds of cuteness!

Proud big sisters came to visit Paisley at the hospital.

Precious babe was born with a cleft palate, which means the roof of her mouth did not form properly.  Because of this we had to figure out how to feed her since she was unable to nurse.

She spent a week in the NICU while we figured out the best way to feed her and the doctors watched her oxygen levels and made sure she was gaining weight.

Thankfully after one week all of her wires were removed and the feeding tube was taken out!  Hallelujah!  

Resting peacefully before being discharged from the hospital, yay!!!!

Heading home from the hospital on Thanksgiving Day.  This was by far the BEST Thanksgiving EVER!

Getting used to her bed on the first night  at home.  So precious!

Big sis Jayda couldn't keep her hands off of little P once we got home!

And Sydney loves her so much too!

All snuggled up in her bed.


These pictures were taken on her 2 week birthday.

Love this one, and love that face!

Cutest little piggies ever.

I just love soft little tiny baby feet!

Our sweet little munchkin!

We took Paisley in to see Dr. Prier a few days after we got home from the hospital.


Dr. Prier said she looked great!  She was up to 6 pounds, 6 ounces at that appointment.  

At my 20 week ultrasound the doctors told us that Paisley's arms and legs were measuring short.  They were not sure if it was a normal variant or a form of skeletal dysplasia.  As of now we still do not know the cause of her shorter limbs, but we are so thankful that she is healthy and happy and doing so well!  

Paisley Grace at 1 month old!

I love her little expressions so much!





This is my favorite little hat ever!  One of Jacob's secretaries had a friend make it and I just love it!

Itty bitty baby girl.


And we love her "Paisley" pillow that Auntie Jolene gave her!

Headed to mommy's 1 month doctor check up.

Trying out a new wrap with Mommy...she wasn't too sure about this!

Look at those squishy cheeks!

Big sis loves to take selfies with her sisters. :)  


Wide awake!

And fast asleep!

So cozy in her swing.

Hanging out in the bouncer.


Relaxing with Mommy.  Love her so much!

Jayda loves to hold Paisley.  It was so nice to have an extra set of hands over the Christmas break while she was out of school!

Sydney is my big helper too!


Watching Home Alone with Jayda.

Heading out to the grocery store for the first time.  And all ready for Christmas!


Such a cutie patootie!

Love this precious face so much!

Daddys little girl.  Precious thing!

We are so grateful to have Paisley in our lives!  She has been such a trooper throughout everything and is a little fighter!  We love her so very much and can't imagine our lives without her.  Can't wait to see what this first year has in store for you Miss Paisley Grace Paschal!
