Tis the Season

We've been busy bees trying to finish Christmas shopping and shipping in order to get ready for our Christmas Vacation to Hawaii. Yep, that's right Hawaii!!! Uncle A is currently stationed there, so we are taking full advantage of his hospitality and are going to visit for Christmas. It will be my first Christmas away from home and I'm a little sad about that, but I'm really looking forward to being in Hawaii!!!! What's even better is Granny and Grandpa are joining us! We're also meeting our cousin E and Aunt F for the first time!! It's been soo long since Uncle A and B-man have been together for Christmas with their parents. So, it's sure to be a special time.

We took some time this weekend though, to enjoy Christmas San Antonio style. We went down to the Riverwalk last night and took a boat ride and enjoyed all of the lights they have displayed for the holidays.

We also went to see Santa! Boo did so good.
At first, he was just sitting there moving his eyes only!
But, they had some jingle bells and that's all it took to get a smile!

I know, he looks less than thrilled in the photos, but he really enjoyed pointing to the "ights" and "boots" (boats). We also enjoyed some ice cream afterwards! It was a perfect outing!
Oh yeah...haircut for Boo is today at 3:40!

This is a little ornament that Boo and I made this week. The picture isn't really that great.
He enjoyed getting his hand painted for this project. If you're interested in doing this craft, let me know and I'll post the lessons learned from our attempts last week!

I don't know if I'll post again before we leave, so if I don't, Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
Mele Kalikimaka!!!

Chuck E Cheese

Last night we went to Chuck E Cheese for our Mom's Club Fundraiser. What an easy way to make money...15% of whatever we bought goes back to the Mom's Club!
Boo had a grand ole time...too much fun to even eat. And if you know our son, you know he LOVES to eat!
B-man and I also had a grand time playing basketball, football, and skee ball.

I know, he needs a haircut. We're going to try to get that done early next week!

Thaaaaaanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Have a great day!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our beloved B-man today! He's a great husband and a wonderful Daddy to Lil Boo. We hope you have a great day today!

A birthday for B-man also means a birthday for Uncle A! So, here's a shout out to you in Hawaii...Hau'oli lā hānau!

Clemson Clenches Atlantic Dvision

As of this past Saturday our beloved Clemson Tigers have won the Atlantic Division of the ACC. They will now face Georgia Tech on Dec 5 to decide who will be the ACC champions this year. It will be a rematch of a game played earlier this year in which Ga Tech was the victor. That game was a HARD fought game and although we lost, we were very proud of how the Tigers pulled it out in the second half. And of course, we're hoping for a different outcome this time around.

We've been trying to get this far for years and the opportunities just slipped right out of our hands year after year. But, not this year!! We were lucky enough to watch the game here on Saturday.

Here's a video of Boo doing the Tiger Rag after a touchdown! He always points his finger...we didn't teach it that way.

Goooooo Tigers!

1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S!
Fight Tigers! Fight Tigers! Fight! Fight! FIGHT!

Dancing Machine

When BeBe was here we went to Gruene, TX (pronounced Green) to a restaurant called The Gristmill. Gruene is a really cool little town (about 3 streets worth) and the restaurant is really rustic and fun and overlooks the Guadalupe River. Next to the restaurant is Gruene Hall. It's the oldest dance hall in Texas and from what I've heard, it is the dance hall in the movie Michael where John Travolta is dancing with the ladies to Chain of Fools. Remember that?

After supper we walked by the dance hall to get back to the car and well, Boo was struck by the music. He stepped up to the stoop and started dancing.

I just love his dancing!
