Santa-tonio

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit so we took them to San Antonio and did all the touristy things: The Riverwalk, The Alamo, a horse carriage ride. Isabel was so excited and I finally figured out that she thought we were going to Santa's hometown of Santa-tonio. It was only in the 40's so it felt like the North Pole to us.

Only a matter of time...

I knew Eliza would find the tree. We didn't hide it very well.

'Tis the Season...

We've hung our stockings and done our shopping and Isabel wrote her 1st letter to Santa. She's expecting a dollhouse, a Barbie computer, and a pony, stuffed not real. Liza started crawling the day we brought out all the Christmas decorations. So far she leaves them alone though. She is content to follow after Isabel.

Giving Thanks

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving. Ryan always cooks the meal so that may be the best part for me. Sam (our cat) caught his own bird and was quite proud of himself.
Isabel told us she is thankful for "her" baby, her family, Santa, and her dolls. I was thankful not to be out shopping at some awful hour on Friday. We always spend the day after Thanksgiving at the zoo. It beats the mall...the animals at the zoo have better manners.
