What a great weekend

We had a great weekend. It was very busy but lots of fun. It started on Saturday morning and meeting all our friends at Hunan Plus for lunch and then shopping at Mulan. We had to get shoes and trinkets for the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration. Then we came home and spent the evening playing together. On Sunday we went and got Aunt Marcy and took her to the museum to see the pirates! It was a little scary for Sarah but she did enjoy most of it. Later we took Uncle Jim and Aunt Marcy back to Hunan Plus for a wonderful dinner. It was great being with family. At the restaurant, Sarah got a little jealous of all the attention Aunt Marcy was giving Micah. Russ and I had to be very careful how much attention we gave Sarah and Micah at that time. Sarah is very sensitive and sees and hears all that is going on around her.

Happy New Year 2010-2011

New Years was a big bash! The Gees, Fourniers, Norris' excluding John but with James (Wendy's dad) and Sarah Glaze and James Boreillo (sp) were here. We had spaghetti, homemade bread, salad, jello (which we forgot to serve until dessert, chili con queso, a cream cheese dip and many kids of chips and crackers. For dessert we had banana splits and brownies. We then went outside to light sparklers. At 11:00 we celebrated the new year with sparkling grape juice and champagne and everyone went home. It was a perfect way to bring in the new year.
MAY THE BEST OF 2010 BE THE WORST OF 2011.

Christmas 2010

I can't believe that the Christmas season is ending. We had a wonderful time. Russ and I were off of work for the whole 2 weeks. The family went to Palestine to the Polar Express, Sarah went to a winter camp and lost her tooth, Santa came and brought Sarah her first DSI and Micah had a lot of firsts. (first Chanukkah, first train ride, first Christmas...) Janet came over for Chrsitmas as well as the Fourniers. We had an awesome time. I wish we didn't have to go back to work.

Sarah loses her frist tooth

Sarah lost her first tooth today. She went to a winter camp at Cypress Creek Gymnastics and while she was watching a talent show, reached in her mouth and pulled the tooth out. She said it didn't hurt and there was no blood. Tonight we will place it under her pillow and see what the Tooth Fairy brings.

Huntsville Duck Pond

After a wonderful day and evening at the Polar Express, on Sunday, we stopped at the duck pond in Huntsville to feed the ducks. Sarah had a great time feeding bread to the ducks and Micah had fun picking up dirt and sticks and throwing it around. We got a few really good pictures of both of them.

The Polar Express

What a great Saturday we had. We got up in the morning and drove to Palestine TX to ride the Polar Express. We went with John, Wendy, Hannah, and Emma Gee and Craig, Darlene, Grandma JoAnn, Claire and Abby Fournier. It is a train that runs from Palestine to Rusk and back. It takes about 1 hour to ride. As we waited in line to board the train some of the chefs come out and took pictures with us. When we got on the train we were greeted by the conductor and the chefs. Once the train began, we were given hot chocolate and rice krispie treats. Sarah and Micah were in heaven. Micah cuz she was on my lap and Sarah was so impressed by the whole train trip. She looked out the window and asked if we would see wolves. I said I wasn't sure and to keep looking out the window. We got to the North Pole and there was Santa. He was outside waving to us. He then boarded the train and came through the cars and gave each of the girls a sleigh bell on a little leather string. Sarah said it was a bell off of Rudolphs sleigh. After that we sang songs and the chefs danced in the aisles. Russ got pictures of the chefs doing 6 Geese a Laying and Lords a Leaping. After a wonderful ride, we got out and went to the gift shop and shopped a little. Then we went back to the hotel and Emma spent the night with Sarah in our room. They stayed up until 10:00 and were up Sunday morning at 6:30.
