Hot Chocolate in Houston

 Our Family took a trip to Houston for the boys birthdays.

Stopped by a favorite cafe' for breakfast before heading

back to Austin.

 Yum!!!

Build-a-Bear

 Eva received a gift certificate for Build-a-Bear for Christmas!

So a trip to the mall was in order.  She selected a bear and 

dressed her up in a Girl Scout Daisy uniform.  She loves 

Build-a-Bear!!!

Snow Snow Snow

The trip from Rocky River to Pat and Pa's house was a bit snowy!

Glad Todd rented an SUV!

Christmas Night

We left Findlay a bit earlier than planned due to an impending

snow storm.  I did not wish to drive through that!  So I called

Kathryn and asked if it would be ok that we arrived a few hours 

earlier than expected.  Of course there was no problem.

 Upon our arrival we had a nice surprise!

Kathryn had called my parents and they came out for a nice

Christmas Night together.

 We opened gifts and had yummy treats.

 I hit a home run with Katie's gift!

 And Katie hit a home run with El's gift!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning we were in Findlay.

 El and Eva come out to check out if Santa found us so far north.

 No problem... that Santa is good!

 Fashion Girls.

Eva loves her sequined beret!

El's boots are made for walking...

Papa's Party

 Dede had a surprise 75th birthday party for Papa.

Papa's birthday is December 24th ( I know, even 

worse than the 15th!)  So we got to see some snow

this year!

" Why are all these people in my house? "

 A lovely catered meal...

with friends... 

 and family...

 and cocktails.
