Christmas Adventure in Frisco


The Fish Family has experienced not one, but two big adventures this weekend! Yesterday morning we joined the Bullard family and drove 40 miles northeast of Frisco to a Christmas tree farm. Mike and I wanted to relive our childhood days where you tagged your Christmas tree and cut it down yourself. So, we visited the city of Van Alstyne and a BEAUTIFUL Christmas tree lot! The owners live on a breath-taking piece of property! The boys had an absolute blast running through the trees and gathering acorns. When all was said and done, I am sad to say that neither the Bullards or us cut down our own tree. We opted for noble trees that the farm imports from South Carolina where they are native. It was the experience that counts, right?


After we all rushed home and decorated our trees, we gathered, once again, at Frisco town square for Merry Main Street; a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. This was spectacular! They lit the entire town square and the lights blink in rhythm with music that they had playing on speakers. They had everything from fake snow to Santa and real reindeer. We had such a good time! This city really knows how to do things for families!


I am sure we will have many more adventures to come! We are traveling to California for Christmas and are so excited to visit with our family and friends! We love and miss all of you. Our hope is that you are have a blessed Christmas season and an even more blessed 2008!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
