Renaissance Thanksgiving

This year we made the trek to the Texas Renaissance Festival instead of our Thanksgiving Hike. It was a perfect day and I so enjoyed sharing some of my old childhood memories with our kids. I think they really enjoyed it and I know the rest of us did!

Quince Anos!

A very special day to celebrate with my sweet Lauren for her 15th birthday! Aubrie loved watching the Princess, but wanted nothing to do with her, only her picture on the floor! The kids were being so sweet and loving during their dances, but Aubrie loved going limp so that she and her Bubba fell to the ground! They are so precious! And while we were down, we of course worked on our Dr. Suess Treehouse!

Third Day!!!!

I have been wanting to see Third Day in concert for sometime! I almost had Brandon convinced to whisk me off on a quick weekend trip, but they weren't playing anywhere cool at anytime we could get there near my birthday... BUT they were playing in Round Rock! So, although a little belated, we headed down to Round Rock, sans children, and met my good friends there to listen to the all day jams of some great Christian bands! A wonderful day, capped off by a great stay at a bed and breakfast in Belton. I think I am officially done celebrating my birthday for this year!

Celina Balloon Festival

Since the our trip to the Plano Balloon Festival got rained out in September, we searched high and low for another balloon festival and surprisingly found one right up the road in Celina! It was really cool to see the balloons and even got to see a couple fly! Branson was pretty exciting, commenting, "they are gigantic!"
