Robbins' Christmas #3...

Christmas #3...We left on Saturday to come to Cabot, AR for a few days. We have had such a blessed time with family during this first holiday with Lulu. She has been a road warrior and has been awesome. We head back to our home in sweet Branson today and we are excited to have a few days before Shay and I both head back to work.

We took Lulu to church for the first time to Grace Community, where my dad is the pastor. She was perfect...of course :)! We then had the Medlin/Robbins Christmas on Sunday night once my oldest brother and his family arrived. It was so much fun with Jonathan and Alana Grace (nephew and niece) and the whole family being together! Mamma got to meet Lulu which was priceless and we just laughed a lot! Michael got us a lot of Triathlon stuff for us to cheer him on next November in his first full Ironman. Dad got mom lots of fun gift cards and I got a sewing machine! Woohoo! I'll be a crafty momma next August when I get to stay home with Lulu and be full time momma! I also got a snuggie!!! I wanted one so bad! Shay got lots of biking stuff b/c he is doing a 1/2 ironman this coming September. So a helmet, socks, and fancy biking shorts were a part of his Christmas! More than the gifts we just loved this season with both of our families!

Happy New Year,
The Robbins' Nest

Uncle Michael and Lulu after church. She loves her Uncle Michael!

One of Lulu's favorite spots. Pappa D and Lulu sleeping! Precious!
Mom lighting the candle she got from Israel years ago and we always read Luke 2 before we do our big Christmas chaos. Gotta love Medlin traditions!
Michael got Pauline a water belt thing for marathons. Pauline is a running fool and was pumped for this belt. She is also sporting her new scarf...so pretty!
Michael got a new official fancy triathlon helmet...I guess it's like aerodynamic. He was pretty goofy looking but yet cool!
Michael got me a ironman visor and a ear warmer for running...I better heal up first! I'm hopefully close!
Shay got a helmet for biking from my mom and dad. He was pumped for all his biking gear.
Pauline made this for my mom...it's all these statements of "we do...second chances, we do...grace, we do...love, we do...real, etc." it is awesome.
I was so excited and surprised to find a sewing machine in my presents from mom and dad. I am totally going to be making pillowcase dresses for Lulu (Jennifer, you will need to teach me first...hehe!)
Uncle Michael got bikes for Jonathan and Alana Grace. They loved them. We headed to the school my folks live by to ride them and they had a blast!
Alana Grace will take some time to warm up b/c I'm pretty sure she walked and pushed her bike instead of riding it most of the time.
