Crazy Christmas Season

Here we are again in December. I hope that everyone had a super Thanksgiving. We did. Our Thanksgiving was nice and quiet, just the 3 of us. We had the big old turkey meal and just spent time together hanging out and watching UT vs. A&M game.

I love quiet restful days with my little family. It seems that we are always on the go and busy, busy with dance lessons, performances and other obligations. This Autumn has been nice. Miss Thing has been on a break from dance lessons since September and we have had some nice quiet time together. At times, it seems as if we were always in different places and not together near enough. This break has given us time to do some of fun things.



DH took Miss Thing to Autorama to see all of the custom cars and hotrods. The show also had BMX guys, skateboarders and in-line skaters doing tricks on a half pipe/ramp thingy. They filled up the memory card in the camera taking pictures and had a blast. This was evidenced by the fact that they called and text messaged me the whole time telling me about the great fun they were having. Did I mention I was at work? Yep. 'nuff said. Here are some pics of the adventure.













DH was disappointed that the only celebrity appearances that they got to see were Sponge Bob Square Pants, Patrick (from Sponge Bob show) and Dora the Explorer. Yes, they missed the Texans Cheerleaders and Mini Me (from Austin Powers, I think his name is Vern somethingorother?). Miss Thing was relieved because she did not want to have her picture taken with any of the celebrities (especially Mini Me).
But now the break is over and we are back to the normal obligations. The Little Princess opens this week and she is (we are) in for show performances 3 nights a week and 2 matinees on weekends for the next few weeks. It seems like she is in a show every December. First, The Nutcracker for 3 years and a Ballroom Christmas show last year, this year a musical. What a blessing for her to get to do all of these things. I am happy that she gets to do what she loves. Even if we always have a Crazy (busy Christmas Season).
