Gingerbread House

Well, it started out as a project for Jillian, and ended up to be a Mommy and Mimi masterpiece! We are very proud of it!!

Merry Christmas

We just wanted to take a moment to say, "Merry Christmas" to everyone. We are so thankful for each and everyone of you. You each have a special place in our hearts. I am so excited this Christmas. This will be our first Christmas in Texas and as a family. Thank you for taking the "Hickam Journey" with us this year. Hopefully,I will be as persistant in the upcoming year as I was this past one on posting to the blog!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
Love,
The Hickam's

So I had a request...

I received a comment about my Christmas decorations at home! It came from my sister, which had already seen them! My theory was, if you were here, you would see them... here they are, with Jillian, of course.

Jillian's Christmas Program

Jillian had a Christmas Program at her school. Each of the children placed a gift under the giving tree and then they all sang two songs! SHe looked so cute and had so much fun!!

Welcome Back to World of High Speed!!

I cannot tell you all just how excited I am! I got wireless high speed internet yesterday! I can upload at my house again, and Andrew can finally finish his work at home!! Last night I just laid in bed and couldn't sleep! My computer was calling my name! I stayed up until 2 am!!! I just sat and played for a while! I can now read emails and respond quickly! Jillian has a Christmas play on Wednesday, so I can upload those soon!!! Love you all, Julie

Razorbacks in Tennessee

Well, I can't say that the Razorbacks were too cute, but I know Jillian was. At least we had one thing going for us! Those Hogs need to step it up a little!!

Trip to Pigeon Forge

Well, we just got back from our trip to Pigeon Forge! We met Grandmommy and Grandaddy there. We stayed at a cabin in the woods! We had a blast. We tried to get a picture with Santa, but no such luck this time! We went to the Dixie Stampede... Jilllian didn't move the whole show... she was so amazed! Then, we went to the RIpley's aquarium. It was wonderful and suggest it if you have young kiddos! Saturday we went to the football game. (That is my next post!)

Jillian and her Tutu

Mommy and Jillian went to Canton's First Monday where they have everything in the world you would want to buy! Jillian got herself a tutu! So, of course we went outside and took a bunch of pictures! Hope you enjoy our silliness!

Halloween in Texas

Since this was our first Halloween in Texas we had a few new experiences! First, was the Halloween Parade at school! All the little ones dress up and walk in a parade around the campus. This must be a big deal because it made the front page of the newspaper! Needless to say... wearing our Razorback cheerleading outfit, we didn't make the front page!! hahaha

We carved our pumpkins and went trick-or-treating with Jack and Morgan! Nelson even dressed up and went with us! He got some treats too!
