It's always a PARTY at our house! :)It has been awhile since I last blogged. Probably because our life is a little crazy right now. Work, football (including Fantasy), pitching lessons, gymnastics, college, and everything else. I LOVE IT!
This Christmas break has been so fun! We started off the vacation with a gingerbread house. It was Bailey's first time to make one. As of today, she has almost eaten off all of the candy.
After a few days of cleaning up the house and last minute shopping, we headed to Sequin to visit Papa, Nana, and Hannah. We went to Clear Springs for dinner. Yummy! They have the best onion rings. Bailey loved playing with all 4 of Papa and Nana's doggies. 
Next we headed to San Antionio to see all the Christms lights and ride on the river. Of course we went to the Alamo. 
We never got to the river riding part because it was way too cold and the rides were two hours long. Bailey had so much fun running up and down the riverwalk and chasing the ducks. We stayed at the Indigo hotel which was very nice. We all slept in the king size bed. Ethan was so comfortable that now he is thinking of getting one for us. I'm all about that. The hotel was right on the water but kind of far down from all the resturants. We kind of liked that because we got to walk along a lot of the water. On the way back from eating at Rita's and of course getting icecream, we took a taxi cab. It was Bailey's first time in a taxi. I didn't ride in my first taxi until last year in New Orleans. Ha!
Once we got home Santa was on his way. We made cookies and Ethan and Bailey put reindeer food out on the lawn. We opened presents. Ethan got a watch along with other necessities. I got a hand mixer, Toms, and some running goodies. Bailey got My Little Pony toys, a crayon maker, puzzles, Kung Fu Panda 2, and more toys.
Cookies for Santa.
Bailey went right to sleep. Not because she thought Santa was coming but because she was pooped out from the busy day.
We slept in until about 8:30 and Bailey went straight to the cookies to see if Santa had eaten them. Of couse he had! :) She was so excited to see what she had gotten. The Slinky Dog was the only thing she really wanted and she would of been perfectly content getting just that. She got a bike and had fun outside for the 20 minutes we could handel it. It's cold!
This has been a great year for us. It has been one of our busiest yet. Ethan finished his masters and now I'm working on mine. Bailey is growing up so fast and learning so much. This has been her best year at school so far. She is such a good girl with a great personality. She keeps us on our toes but keeps us laughing.
We are looking foward to the great New Year festivities we always have at the beach with Mr. Gregg, Mrs. Bev, Kyle, Cissy, and Hudson.
