Cuz you're hot then you're cold.

Dang! This weather has been playing mind tricks on me. One day I head out in shorts, need I remind you we are in the 15th day of DECEMBER! and the next day I'm bundled up in my sweater, scarf, and boots! I wouldn't want to live anywhere else than good ole Texas though. I love this time of year. I love Christmas! Like I mean LOVE Christmas! It is my second favorite holiday. Maybe because it's a shopping holiday? Who knows? (4th of July is my favorite by the way)! My car radio is set to the Christmas station, and when I get in the car with the hubbs, I change his radio station (he hates when I do that). I'm finally coming to terms that San Antonio will be my home for the next three years, but it makes me so sad that no one back in Htown will get to see my home that I decorated so Christmasy. So I thought I would share a picture of our tree :)


also a picture of liberty in her sweater! too cute! :)



I love all this Christmas talk of gingerbread men, Christmas trees, and snowflakes, but let's not forget the Reason for the Season! The best most wonderful gift anyone could give and anyone will receive...Salvation, Jesus Christ. Makes me want to bust out with a rendition of Oh How I Love Jesus! He gives me so much inexplicable joy, It's something you just have to experience yourself. Friends, Please don't forget about Jesus this Christmas!

No place like home.

OMG! I missed Houston badly! driving into town, the prettiest thing I saw was the Houston skyline, it felt good to be back home! We went to the thanksgiving day parade, ate way more than anyone should be allowed, and had a relaxing rainy evening. The next day I wasn't brave enough to face the black friday mobs. My thought is that finding a parking spot, waiting in line, getting trampled on, and then waiting in another line to check out, isn't worth saving $20 bucks. Samuel was almost crazy enough to go to Toysrus for one toy, that was only 1/2 off. I'm glad I snapped him out of it. I worked at TRU last year during seasonal, let me tell you...it is a mad house! You do not want to get in the way of a bargain mom, they are out to kill! Well maybe not but they would trample you in a heartbeat! We did how ever manage to kidnap my aunt the next day and take her to Louisiana for her birthday. It was too much fun, we had a blast! Samuel had the big win of the night, winning $80 on the machine I had just left! I did fairly well, lets just say I need to learn how to quit while im ahead! Saturday we had menudo (Samuel's favorite!) at my aunts house, for her birthday and later on Isa and I went to Kohls and TRU. bought Gabby's gift, some batteries, and Uno cards, we played with them when we got home, let me just say, my mom is a cheater! Yelling ONE instead of UNO...who does that?!?! haha, we had a good time hanging out with the family. Sunday morning we headed over to Chad and Mallory's house and watched the game and the AWESOME beat down Andre gave Finnegan haha priceless! and we headed back to San Antonio. It was a great weekend! Can't wait til Christmas!!!

Here's a picture to make you laugh



tata for now!
