Christmas Eve

After spending time in Colorado we headed back to Houston for Christmas. Nick and I spent a tiny bit of time with a few friends and also got to go on a date, thanks to Aunt Mouse (Monica). Dinner at Lupe's and a movie (Blindside), truly was Home Sweet Home! We enjoyed lots more fun with cousin, Annabelle and got great quality time with family while in Houston.

Making pancakes with Tatty.

Cute pancakes...once again William Sonoma!
Worth buying for Valentine's or Easter if they have them!

On Christmas Eve morning we were able to spend time at the hosptial with Boppa. He is well on his way to recovery but it will be one step at a time. Thanks to his incredible kids and Nana he is getting the absolute best care and extremely loved!! We enjoyed seeing him so much. We look forward to letting the boys see him this summer since they weren't allowed in the hospital.

After the hospital visit we were off to the ever-so-insane Memorial City Mall.
Chick-Fil-A of course!

No trip is complete on Christmas Eve without riding the carousel.



These cute reindeer were entertaining to most...not our children. No surprise.



Tatty and the cousins...

This adorable train was the highlight...it goes around the mall for small fee :)




Christmas Eve Service at Salem Lutheran-great service and the boys actually survived.

The very special Christmas Eve gift from Tatty

The Polar Express book and movie...now an addiction!

And new PJs!

Oh so cute! You look soooo good! I'm proud of you for getting in some pics of you! I always forget and then when I'm blogging...realize that I'm in ZERO pictures pretty much! Anyway, as I read through it and then at the end when you said "next year will look different" it is so hard for me to picture a little GIRL sitting there! Oh.my.word! So exciting! So fun!
