CHRISTMAS #3 IN HOUSTON









We celebrated Christmas again with Grannie & Papa and the Milonovich family. Lots of fun swimming and a big trip to NASA.





On our way back from Christmas in Tennessee, we also stopped in New Orleans for the night. The kids donned their masks and we traipsed down Bourbon Street. (Only a few unapproving stares for having children in the Big Easy after dark.) We enjoyed beignets, chocolate milks, and coffees the next morning.
Wow - only two months behind. Yikes! Good thing I didn't make it a New Year's Resolution to keep the blog current.

Zoolights in Birmingham



Caught up now! We stopped in Birmingham, Alabama and visited their zoo. They even had snow (the artificial soap version). Although it was cold enough for it! They had a great display of lights, train ride, petting zoo, animal talks, face painting, and a hay ride. Next stop - New Orleans - maybe I'll post pics of the kids throwing beads on Bourbon Street. Just kidding!

Bowling in Tennessee



We opted for some bowling one day to expend some energy. Kennedy bowled a strike on her first frame out (fast as lightning - the ball rolled for more than a minute!) Kaden was a pro - no assistance needed.

The Trail of Lights in Austin





The Clement and Milonovich families met for dinner and took a bus ride to Zilker Park for an amazing light display. Temps did drop into the 50s to justify the big bonfire at the end.

A visit with Santa


Despite Kennedy's outgoing and brash personality, she was completely unwilling to sit on Santa's lap. Maybe next year?

Kaden and Kennedy's Christmas Program


The montessori put on a great program. The kids are still singing their songs. Sorry for the poor quality of pics - maybe Santa should have brought a new camera.

Welcom Shirin!



Congratulations to Greg and Negin. They welcomed Shirin June on December 1st.

Housecleaning before we leave 2008

Okay, not really. We're on our way back to Texas. We left Tennessee after an eventful morning packing the van (Kennedy locked us out of Uncle John's house in the process). I found some time to update the blog and found some random pics on my camera. Bear with the randomness.

DANCE, DANCE, JEFFREY!

I'll let this one speak for itself - enjoy!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!






Christmas morning fun at Uncle John's
