Ichibon ~ December 29. 2009

Mike and Bert

Amy and her hubby

Kaleigh, Clayton, and Grace

December 29, 2009. We went out to eat in Kemah with Amy Maddie (my college roommate) and her family and Bert and Mike too. It is hibachi style complete with the big flame and all the fun tricks they do with the food. The kids had a great time!

Visiting the Great Grannies

Bert and I loaded up the kids and spent half the day visiting all the Great Grannies at the homes where they now live. We first stopped by to visit Granny Maxine. She was looking good but was so lonely in there. I felt so bad for her. She is more of a people person and loves to be around others, but there are not many friends for her in her new home. She was so thrilled to see us! Then we went and saw Granny Lilly. She was in a great mood and loved having us there to visit. I was mostly excited that everyone still knew who we were!

Dunlop Family Christmas

After Grandma and Papa's we went over to Aunt Kathryn's and Uncle David's to celebrate Christmas. Great Grandma Jean was there too. The kids thought their new pet duck was so cool! It took Kaylee a little bit of courage to pet it, but the duck is very tame. Dec. 28, 2009.

Christmas with Grandma and Papa

After T Bone Tom's, we went back to Grandma and Papa's house to celebrate Christmas with them. The kids got some really fun gifts!

December 27, 2009. We met the Smith family out at El Torro for a Christmas celebration - it is one of the few places big enough to hold us all! It was fun as usual!

Houston Transco Tower Water Wall ~ December 27, 2009

While in Houston , TX for the Christmas, we took the kids to see the Water Wall in front of the Transco Tower. It was cold and windy, but so cool to see! They thought it was awesome.

GG's Christmas 12.26.09

We exchanged gifts with GG and Grampy on the 26th...things got a little crazy with presents on our heads :)

Diapers and Desserts

December 26, 2009. My Mom and I hosted a baby shower for 3 of my best high school friends, Julie, Melinda, and Michelle. We asked everyone to bring diapers for them and we provided desserts at The Dessert Gallery in Houston, TX. It was so much fun!
