Tree Decorating

This year Savannah actually helped put ornaments on the tree. It was so cute when Brandon turned the tree lights on because she got so excited & said "Daddy made that!" while pointing to the tree. And now she continuously reminds us that her Daddy made the tree : )

Thanksgiving in Vegas

Yep, we went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving this year with my family. What can I say? We are very traditional.
We took a morning trip out to Hoover Dam.

It was great having family there because we got to have a date night one night & went to a nice dinner at Tao.
Thanksgiving morning we walked to the Bellagio & saw their flower display. This "painting" is all flowers!
This pumpkin is all flowers too!
Watching the gondola at the Venetian.
Thanksgiving day we ate dinner downtown & then watched the light show.

With our gangsta hats on in old downtown.


Then to the Bellagio to watch the fountains.


The three of us finished the night with a walk down the strip looking at all the lights. Savannah LOVED all the lights!
Her other favorite was the MGM lion which was across the street from our hotel & so we saw him often.
The last night we went to a favorite place of ours in Vegas, Capos. It's an Italian mobster restaurant with yummy food, dim lights & a guy playing the piano & singing.



It was Thanksgiving, but places were already decorated for Christmas. We loved the color-changing tree at the Venetian.
Love this pic of our little worn-out girl. She was taking a rest in the hallway after lots of walking one night : )

Pumpkins & Pancakes

We went to Pumpkins & Pancakes at the FW Zoo.
Breakfast was yummy!
Free carousel rides!
She couldn't wait to get on her pony, but then she was a little nervous : )

Patting the pony bye-bye.
Waiting for the train to come.

And for the pumpkins...all the animals got pumpkins to smash/play with/eat. So fun to watch!

Cinderella's Pumpkin Village

We went to the Dallas Arboretum on my bday to see Cinderella's Pumpkin Village!


They do such an amazing job making pumpkin houses & there are more colors, shapes & types of pumpkins than you can imagine! It's a pumpkin wonderland!





I guess this Cinderella's carriage turned back into a pumpkin : (
