Aquarium with Olivia

We had a date with Olivia & Shannon to go to the new aquarium in Grapevine. It was great!

 Walking on the water.

 Tunnel through the water.

 Loving the seahorses.

 Getting to pet some of the sea-creatures.

 Like they are in a snowglobe!

 Such a fun day with friends!

Savannah & Hadley

Savannah & I took a trip to Austin to visit my good friend Rebecca (who is expecting a baby any day) & her 4 year old, Hadley. These girls were two peas in a pod! Hadley introduced Savannah to "dress up" & they played non-stop! What dolls!

Lunch at Firehouse Subs

 Two princesses.

 Hugs!

 Breakfast at the kid table.

 Rock band.

 Savh blowdrying Hadley's hair : )

Thanks for letting us visit, girls!

Little Mommy

Savannah is very much into her baby dolls right now. She is constantly bringing pillows & blankets into the living room to "put them to bed". So sweet : )

Hello?

I'm With the Band

We discovered a new BBQ place with a great patio & live music. Only in Texas can you enjoy dinner on the patio in January! This girl tore up the dance floor & thought she was in the band!

Our "Stay"cation

Bran took off about a week & a half after Christmas. Being last minute, we couldn't find a place to sneak off to & so we decided to have a "stay"cation & do lots of fun things in FW. It was so relaxing & great spending time just the three of us!

Breakfast at Ol' South...mmmm!

Bran & I both had the German pancakes & ate every bite!

Then to the zoo.

And lunch on the patio at The Love Shack.

Can't believe it was warm enough to eat out on the patio! But hey, this is Texas!

One day we went ice skating...not a fantastic idea. I was thinking she could just hold our hands for balance, but that wasn't the case. We had to hold her hands & carry all her weight : ) I think we only made about 5 laps, but the little one loved it & everyone was shocked at the tiny two-year-old on skates! Poor Brandon is still nursing a knee injury from the day though : (

An indoor bounce house place one day. Forgot the camera & only got a couple of pics on my phone...plus I was too busy bouncing!

Feeding the ducks.

I guess because it hasn't really gotten cold, we still have about 50 ducks at our pond.

One day Bran was needing a haircut downtown & so we decided on a place nearby we wanted to do lunch & then dropped him off. Savh & I went to a little shop downtown that I like & saw this "Bacon Wagon" parked in front of it! I immediately knew we needed to change our lunch plans. We got yummy sandwiches (all of which had bacon on them) & took Daddy for a picnic after his haircut. The store took pics of Savh & I in front of the van & posted them online. We are now the faces of the Bacon Wagon! (Maybe shouldn't brag about that...)

Lunch at Trinity Park where I went as a kid.

The sandwiches were incredible & we ate every last bit of all 3!

Playing in the leaves.

Enjoying her maple & bacon cookie (actually really good!)

Weee....

eeeee.....

eeee!!!

We loved every minute of having Bran home with us!

When a Two-Year Old Dresses Herself...

She puts bloomers & leggings on over her p.j.s, a hat, & her fancy shoes. And then goes to look at herself in the mirror. Love that girl!

Tea

My grandma's b-day is Dec. 28th & my mom's is Jan. 2nd & so Savannah & I decided to take them to a tea room in Colleyville for lunch. It was so fun having a girlie lunch just the 4 of us. And at the table next to us there was a girl just a little younger than Savh with her mom, grandma, & great grandma too! Too cute! We need to make this a tradition : )
