Bananas - YUM!

Shopping in Mineola

We headed out to East Texas again this weekend and were able to pull Joe away from the deer blind long enough for a trip into Mineola for a little lunch and shopping.

Christmas setup - rocking with Papa

Our intention was to get a visit with Santa in, how cool would this setup have been? It wasn't there, but poor Charlie got an upset tummy and got sick before we could get there.

Santa Around Town

In addition to the Christmas parade and tree lighting, where Santa and Mrs. Clause arrive on a fire truck, Santa rides around every street in our town. Tonight, he came down our street on a fire truck waving to kids and throwing candy. I love our town!

Another tooth!

Well, that didn't take long! Charlotte's second tooth broke through today, the lower front left tooth.

Christmas Parade & Tree Lighting

This year we were actually in town to see the Christmas parade and tree lighting at Little Elm Park.

It was really a lot of fun and something I can see us making a point to attend every year. And, on a great note, Charlotte isn't afraid of fireworks! She was completely unphased. Awesome!

Santa - Attempt #1

Who knew the line to visit Santa at Bass Pro Shop would be over 2 hours long. Just to get into the line to see him...

We made the most of our time though and decided to have lunch instead - mmmmmm, Red Robin!

At least Joey got a carousel ride

How cute are their kid's cups!

Charlie, meet Mr. French Fry

1st Tooth!

We have a tooth! Charlie's first tooth broke - her lower front right tooth.
