More Christmas

Mom and Dad and you know the rest of us.

Santa Baby.......
We (the next door neighbors, the down the street neighbors, Craig, his Dad and youngest brother and I) all went on a plane ride to a truck stop to eat breakfast one morning. Which was truly yummy! I love going up in Sparky and love that they share experiences like that with me. This trip was a treat for me because I got to take pictures of two different planes in flight. This one is the runway that Craig's parents live on.

This one is the next door neighbor's plane.

I don't know why this has lines in the sky.... they are not there in my file. Humm.....

Oh well. I had a blast.

"Home" for the holidays

We went to Fort Worth for Christmas as we do every year. Austin and I took Amtrack and Craig drove up three days later. Austin had a blast on the train and was so good. It was a bla day as we took of and as we went along it got more foggy and then started to rain by the time we got to the last stop.

We had a little guide from San Antonio who told us all about the stops we had. I love these kind of buildings.

This is in Austin I think.

This is Craig's brother Nicholas. Austin has taken to calling him Uncle Nini.

This is the second of the brothers. This is Uncle Bubby/ Uncle Ryran and to the rest Ryan.

These are Craig's parents, Nina and Papa. Austin loves them and their pool. :)

Little cat naps are best when not bothered by the camera. I am sure they will love this being up on my blog.

This is Craig's youngest brother. Uncle Paddy. Austin loves riding, chasing, climbing, and all sorts of other things with him.

We went up to Craig's grandparents. Unfortunately Craig wasn't able to join us. His cousins and Aunt made it up there too.

The "kids" playing football.

Pretty sky!

My favorite pictures to take are those in black and white.

Random

Daddy's shoes.

Ok so I have resorted to bribery in its highest fashion. We were in Fredericksburg for 3 hours and got a late start. So on the car ride home I wanted to keep him awake so he wouldn't wake up when we got him out of the car when we got home. He wouldn't go back to sleep so i gave him one of those candy necklaces and he loved it and made a huge powerdy mess an his face and shirt. I am the best mom ever! :)

They were having some kind of winter wonderladn thing. WHat this has to do with winter I am not sure but I got a kick out of it.

Very random.

Everything IS bigger in Texas!

The evil eye.

Our Tree.

Putting up the Christmas tree was so much fun for Austin. We went to Lowe's to Pick it out and then all three of us put on the ornaments. Austin still likes to take them off and put them back on.









The Boys putting on the Angel. Austin is hiding on the other side.




The finished product.
Our little Mrs. Prissy. This is one of our cats and the other is black and hiding in the back of the tree. He is hard to get a picture of. They have been enjoying themselves playing in the tree.

The Zoo

My Mom and Dad came to town for Thanksgiving and spent 5 days with us. Craig had to go to work so we spent part of the day at the San Antonio Zoo. We had to make it a part day because Austin had to nap at some point. Silly Naps.

This is My dad. He and My mom (which you won't see many pictures of)
loved showing Austin all the animals which let me take many pictures.

My Dad and Austins' favorite animal was the monkey. One day my Dad wants one. Poor mom her hands would be full!

This turtle one was taken in a very dark room and i was in a bit of a hurry. I was trying to figure out how to take it with out the glare. I got that part now I just need to focus. lol

I love this one, it was in the same room as the turtle and to me this fish looked kind of a dull, a dark blue maybe. Well i guess not! No glare. I was amazed. :) I think my favorite pictures to take are animals and scenery.

This was a leopard and I couldn't get the focus just right. I am trying everything manual.

Mom, Dad and Austin feeding the fishes. Many fishies there were!

He got tired of me taking his picture.

My Moms doing! Blech

These little guys were a part of a neat thing I have never seen. You go into this enclosure and it if full of these little guys. You can feed them and hold them on your arms. I was fetching lunch and didn't get any good pictures. All i got was bird Poo on my shirt and arm.The End
