Trey

He survived his first Christmas-- exhausted but content.

One more funny to share...

> Maybe its her age, maybe Im listening more these days, but Isabella is saying the funniest things.
>
> Shes sat through church with me the last two Sundays. Its funny which parts of the service and sermon she picks up on. Last Sunday John was preaching on getting ourselves ready for the birth of Jesus. First Isabella asked why he kept asking if we were ready... Glad she noticed. Then this lead to a conversation on getting ready for baby Jesus. She wasn't sure if he was coming to our house. I told her he's in our hearts. And amazingly she left it at that.
>
> Today she was playing doctor and giving her baby dolls, me and Trey check ups. She was so tender and sweet with Trey. She keeps calling him beautiful and it makes my heart smile each time she says it. Then she used the stethoscope to listen to my heart. She said, "That's good I hear Jesus!"

> I love that kid. My heart aches for the parents who lost their sweet, innocent, funny children this week.

Santa's Wonderland

Last night we went to Santa's Wonderland in College Station. We went with our sweet friends, The Martinez's. It's built up like an old time Texas town with millions of Christmas lights, shops, eateries and live performers.
Once you walk through some saloon doors there is a fake snow machine. The fist picture perfectly captures the excitement and thrill that Isabella felt playing in the "snow!" After some good squealing and playing we got a picture of Kendell and Isabella together.
The number of lights and displays they have created are really amazing. Here we are in front of a HUGE Texas flag. Trey was a super trooper in the baby bojurn.
We then rode on a cute kiddie train covered in christmas lights. Isabella picked the purple car.
A visit to Santa was next on our list. They wouldn't let you take pictures-- but it was great to watch Isabella actually talk to Santa about her Christmas wishes. They exchanged hugs and he gave her some stickers. Then he reminded her to please put out lots of cookies on Christmas Eve.
The live musicians were great. Isabella loved the Christmas music and country music. She danced her guts out.
After dinner, we went on the hayride. It was a thirty minute ride. There were arches covered with lights- an amazing airplane lit up-Santas workshop with elves-a nativity scene and the ride ended with an Easter scene. They played Christmas carols as we rode and it was adorable to watch and hear Isabella belt out her version of Jingle Bells.
We stopped by the food stations for dessert. Robert got a funnel cake, Cerissa got a brownie sundae and Isabella got some pink ice cream(strawberry).
It was well worth the price if admission. Kids and adults had a great time. A big thanks to ALL the people that work this venue!
