Birthday Party Fun!
















Birthday parties no longer consist of a few friends coming over to the house for cake and running around in the backyard - lately we have had fun at Ethan's birthday party @ the Hoppin House and Peyton & Hayden's birthday party at Little Buckaroo Ranch. Ash is loving her school friends and all of the places to play with them as they turn 5! 5 - did you hear me - 5 - how did we get this old? I am not ready for kindergarten at all and I get very emotional when anyone mentions it.

2010 Thanksgiving

Yes, this post is about Thanksgiving but our Thanksgiving activities begin with the Chuy's Children's Christmas Parade so that is why Santa is the signature picture! As usual we ran around like crazy people from the parade in Austin to the movie Tangled in Bee Cave, shopping Market Days in Kerrville, Dickens Christmas in Boerne and Turkey Dinner and Christmas Walkway of Lights in Marble Falls.

Joe McDermott - local children's singer


Elvis - a staple at all parades

Walking Downtown Austin


The town of Boerne was set up in a "Dickens Christmas" mode - it was adorable and the pictures do not do it justice - carolers, vendors, storytellers etc all dressed the part - adorable town. It was my first time to shop and eat there and I loved it as much as Fredericksburg. I will definitely return!
