Christmas 2023

Since we're still in the rental, we celebrated Christmas a little differently this year. We went over to Uncle Eric's for Christmas Eve and (finally) got to meet our new baby Godson, Barrett. Abigail and Allison both held him, but they both preferred looking at him rather than holding him! Uncle Moi made Barrett laugh and Jen Jen tried to get him to take a bottle, which evidently is an insurmountable task. Christmas morning followed with us opening gifts as a family and then we headed to BB and Papa's for a nice lunch. Christmas night we hosted the Lind family Christmas again after several nephews begged us to do "something". It ended up being a really nice dinner and seeing family is always a wonderful time. We're headed to Boston next for New Year's and Jen's birthday.

Much Love,

Shoebox parade

 Allison's school holds a Christmas shoebox parade every year. Only 3rd and 5th graders are allowed to participate and as a 3rd grader, it was Allison's first year to create one. She designed the float complete with a handmade rendering and with Dad's help was able to create her dream shoebox float for the parade.  She was a little nervous to present her box in the parade but she said she had a great time once she completed a few turns about the gym. It was such a fun afternoon, topped off by the fact that it was her last day of school, and we got to take her home early to kick off Christmas vacation. She followed the day with a nap in Dad's chair with the pups.

Getting Buffalo'ed

This weekend we headed to Buffalo with a couple friends for the Cowboys vs. Bills game. We arrived late Thursday which provided us ample time to explore the city. We went to Niagra Falls, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, explored Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House, watched the Cowboys lose (unfortunately), and ate way too many Buffalo wings. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed the city of Buffalo. Everyone was so nice and the food was amazing at every place we went to. Although it was a loss, the weekend was still amazing and we had a fantastic time!

Abigail's Choir Concert

Abigail performed in her Christmas choir concert tonight. As usual, she did a wonderful job even if she kept giving us funny faces every time we caught her eye! We are so proud of our girl!

Shane Smith & the Saints

We finally...finally got to see Shane Smith & the Saints live this weekend. We've been trying to see them for almost 2 years and had to cancel attendance at two other shows because our plans fell through. But we finally got to see them with some of our friends in Arlington for a special ugly sweater Christmas show and it was magical! The only downside is the kids couldn't go because of school. They do love the band almost as much as we do, so we kept it under wraps that we went. Certainly, when they figure out we saw the band without them, they won't be too happy!

Cookie Baking

 As December opens we once again were tasked with baking cookies for all of BIC's clients. Due to our crazy December schedules, we shifted the work around a bit and started at the end of the week and finished on the weekend. The girls again continued to be super helpers and they were able to get us over the finish line on Sunday afternoon. They were just as worn out this year as last year, but they continue to be of great help and we certainly couldn't do it without their help!

Much Love,

Thanksgiving 2023

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Dallas this year. We headed down to Texas right after the girls finished school on Friday so we got to spend the entire week in Texas. Dad and mom were able to attend a few meetings with clients while the kids relaxed at home. We have so many things to be thankful for this year as we do every year. Celebrating together with family and friends while watching the Cowboys win is just the best way we can share in more wonderful memories together.

Much Love,
