Our 9yr anniversary

Arthur and I celebrated our 9yr anniversary this year. Very exciting! Grammie and Papa watched Jack and Ann while we went to dinner at Brennan's in Houston. It was wonderful! Arthur had the filet and I had some of their famous turtle soup and decadent crab cakes. For dessert a white and dark chocolate mouse cake.
This was a plate of praline candies with a special happy anniversary message from the restaurant.

Jack's 4th birthday party

Jack and some friends met at the park to celebrate his 4th birthday. We made swords, slayed dragons (aka dragon pinata), hunted dragon eggs, and ate DONUT CAKE (Jack's special request).

Christmas morning

A few highlights...Santa brought Jack a castle, microscope, and lots of stocking goodies. Santa brought Ann a new baby doll and some pretty cool bath toys. Grandma and Grandpa gave Jack and Ann a wagon....equipped with handy umbrella cover. Very nice.









Hoooray its Christmas eve!





Jack requested "gingerbread smurfs" for Santa. We did our best....

Yay! Its almost Christmas!

I love Jack's expression in this picture. Less than thrilled...

Target practice

Nothing says festive like target practice at Bass Pros' winter wonderland.

Ann is NOT impressed. :)

Texans vs ATL

We had a blast at the Texans' game with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Awesome. I even got a picture with the famous Houston Texans cheerleaders. I think the photo highlights my massive knee brace nicely.
A post-game bike taxi ride to the car was also a highlight...especially since it had started raining!

christmas cuties

Jack, Ann, and the cousins have matching christmas outfits this year. Thanks Grammie and Papa.
