San Antonio

Well, I guess I've never been good at keeping a journal so it's no surprise that I haven't been keeping up with my blog! Last week we went to San Antonio and went to Sea World for 2 days. We also visited the Alamo. It was pretty hot, but not bad when you go to the Lost Lagoon part of Sea World.

Congrats Chief!

We are so lucky to have family members who are members of the armed forces...it just makes you feel so proud. We traveled to Oklahoma City recently to watch a promotion ceremony for my sister-in-law Nicole. She was promoted to Chief Master Sergeant (Air Force). Congrats on all your hard work Nikki! We love you!



I had more pictures, but they were too dark.


While in OKC we visited the memorial there.

Emma

I just love my fun-loving niece, Emma. She's always full of energy and fun to be around. Here's a look at some of her cute and her more, um...."interesting" moments!

Oh, oops...that's not Emma!

Sequence

Our family has a new game that we like to play. It's called Sequence. It's really, really easy to learn and fun too. If you get a big group together like we did here in these pictures, it's even more fun. C'mon Jerry, it's your turn! :)



Emma lost a few screws this game...but trust me, it's really not that hard to play!



The agony of defeat!!

Christmas Day

On Christmas morning, David got up at a decent hour. He opened his presents and was still looking for more!

Later in the day we went to Uncle Paul's house. For some reason I didn't take pictures! I've got to get better at remembering! We did shoot some video. We had delicious food for lunch. After lunch we had fun playing Guitar Hero. I was the singer, Tony played bass, Charlie played guitar and mom tried to play the drums. We also played Apples to Apples. I really enjoyed the time we spent there.

After that we stopped by Papa's house to exchange gifts with mom. David was very tired from all the activities of the past two days. He was getting upset that the present that Grandmary had got for him wasn't a toy.

Christmas Eve

Each Christmas eve we go visit my grandparents--Grom and Granddaddy. For about 10 years now they have lived in Hillsboro. We had a nice visit with my dad's side of the family. If you are wondering why Ashley is not in these pictures, it's because she was with her mom for Christmas this year.

David has been wanting to climb a tree. We don't have many large trees in our neighborhood and so he hasn't been able to. Fortunately, we found a tree to get into in Hillsboro!

Even Aunt Sasa got in the tree!

When we were there, a couple who is revovating a house next door came over. The woman said to me "I've never seen anything like this!" And that pretty much sums it up. There are presents everywhere! They fill the room!

It's OK, Sasa...anyone would get confused in all this mayhem!

OK, so I didn't take very many pictures. I think it's because we also had our video camera and so some of the trip is on there.
