More Holiday Fun

-
Going, going, going... I feel like the Energizer bunny these days, we are constantly going!!! It's fun, though. It's just this time of year, there is so much fun stuff going on, and with the kids being such a fun age to do stuff with, we don't want to miss a thing!! Yesterday, we went to Christmas in the Stockyards. It was super fun- they got to ride on longhorns and ponies, and watch armadillos race. Then, we came home for a rest (thank goodness they slept!!!) and went to my mom's to decorate her tree. We do this every year- she always makes yummy snack food, egg nog, and we fill the tree with old and new ornaments. This was the first year the kids could really help, like I said, they are at a great age and everything is so fun!!

I kept making them pose for pictures, and Walker said,
"Can we PLEASE do a silly picture, mom?"

Savannah would have loved Christmas in the Stockyards. Plus, I find those Texas events very amusing since they are so out of the norm for me. How do you find out about those things?? The newspaper??

I love the stockyard pictures. I am going to have to take my cousins kids and my niece there. How fun! You always have good ideas on fun things to do. I left a comment on Rachel's blog about maybe getting together over the holidays. I would love to catch up with you two. I can borrow Jackson (my cousin's son) so I can have a kid for the day. He is a sweet boy and would love to hang out with all of yall's kiddos.

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
