Texas Christmas Part II

After we left my grandparents, we spent the remainder of the trip visiting both of our parents and family in central Texas.


Mamacita's...finally some real Tex-Mex!

We finally were able to attend one of Theia's birthday parties! She loves dinosaurs and there were dinosaurs everywhere for the party. Hayden had a blast with the dinosaurs and we now have one in the play room (not this one).

Theia, Tanya, Taryne, Cheryl, Hayden, Charlotte & Adeline



We requested BBQ for Christmas...it was a great day

Pixie had a friend to be a little crazy with...they turned the milk green!

Our Christmas Eve milk and cookies for Santa picture...


They were not too excited about Santa's visit...maybe they were still a little tired.




Christmas day was spent with Kyle's parents...


A little play time with cousin Reagan





He was so tired by the time we got around to opening gifts...



Going to pick eggs...after checking out the goat that wandered over


Taryne, Pader & Hayden
Our last night in Texas was actually at Zach & Charlotte's. It gave us a 4-5 head start in the trip home and it gave us a little more time to see them. We met Charlotte at In & Out Burger for dinner...our first trip and it was YUMMY!!


Hayden was FASCINATED with the cat's food

Zach & Charlotte gave us a quick tour of the city of Dallas...in Legos!








It was a fast, whirlwind trip, but it was great to see everyone and eat some great BBQ and Tex-Mex!

Texas Christmas 2013 Part 1

We did the "leave in the middle of the night" thing again. Except this time, we left a little earlier. Since I was able to nap in the afternoon, we all had an early dinner and went to bed. Our goal was to be out the door by 11 pm. We did pretty good, I think we got away by 11:15 and our first stop was Birmingham for Whataburger.

First time trying the spicy ketchup...super yummy for someone that hates ketchup

Movie time!!!! I think we watched the Lorax 100 times!

So our first weekend of the trip was in the Houston area with my extended family. We stayed the first night with Nicole, Bryan and Noah and then on Sunday, we managed to see Dale and Sherree, Grandma Milady and Grandpa Clarence and stayed with Aunt Claire and Uncle Ricky. Lots of people to see!!

Hayden LOVES his new trucks!

This is one of my favorite Nativity sets. I remember setting it out at my grandparents each year as a child. I loved that Taryne and Hayden spent quite a bit of time with it. It also made me nervous that something might break.



I absolutely LOVE this picture!












He is just so stinkin' cute here!



School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
