We went to the Fort Worth Children's Museum today.    It's been a few years since we've been and was blow away to see all of the improvements. A HUGE thank you to Ori, Dina and girls for the annual family membership.  Thank you for this perfect gift; I know we will visit often.
A "first" happened today.   Emory got lost.  Yep in a split second Emory left Grampy's side to explore and stroll the halls in the museum.  I guess there was too much to see and we weren't keeping up.
 
A wonderful day at the museum - we'll be back. and SOON!

Dallas Zoo

We made a trip to the Dallas Zoo today and used Christmas money from Grandmom and Grandpop to buy our annual family membership.   Hooray, cause we LOVE the zoo!
Unlimited rides to the carousel and Safari train ride. Dreamy.
Thanks Grandmom and Grandpop!

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at Granmom & Granpop's house.
Everett & Emory gave Granmom a Thirty-One apron for Christmas this year.  Granmom looks fabulous and the apron came in handy for our traditional New Year bunuelos....
Living outside the city limits has its advantanges. Fireworks!
 
 Cousin Jordan, Ev & Em waiting patiently.
 Ev & Jordan had a blast with flashlights, jumping off the porch, twirling Sparklers and just being boys.
We brought in the New year with confetti
 kisses,
hugs,
and a little sparking cider.
Shortly after midnight we all grabbed a slice of  "Rosca de Reyes" in hopes of getting the slice with the baby Jesus figurine in it.  Whoever finds the baby Jesus is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2, Candlemas Day (Día de la Candelaria). In the Mexican culture, this person also has to throw a party and provide tamales and atole to the guests. 
Weight Watcher tamales and atole - our house - Feb. 2nd. :-D  
Wishing You & Yours a Happy New Year!
