New years in Houston

This New Years dustun had to work, so my friend invited me to go to Houston to go visit her family. It was a lot of fun, we went shopping, out to eat with friends, had family dinners, ice skating and driving around. I was happy to have a mini vacation, and Abigail did so well and had so much fun with all of Candice's family, they really took to us, we even got gifts from them.

Abigail took her first steps with a toy it was so much fun to see her do that, she is growing up so fast.

Candice and her friend since the 5th grade, we ate at 5 guys burgers it was 4 adults and 3 babies all within weeks and moths of each other, it was funny seeing them all together.

Ice skating I didn't fall but Candice did. I was really un sure and scarde on the ice but afte a while i did get eh hang of it and got better.

this was the day we left, Candice mom and sister were plying with the kids.

When we stopped to get gas we took the kids out of there seats and let them play they are so cute together.

here are some pictures of the kids playing once we got back, Abigail was ridding a Harley and Samuel was singing to her, they are such happy funny kids.

Riverwalk

Dustun, Abigail and I decided to go down to the riverwalk to have some fish and chips on the river walk, as usual it was great, even Abby tried some, she liked it. After we ate we went and walked around. It was another great day with the family.

In front of the Alamo

Abigail looks so tired and a bit cold.

our best group shot we could get.

love teh gold hat, i think i should get it what do you think?

Christmas eve

We made some air popped corn Abigail was pretty tired but she just kept looking at all the "white" stuff poping but, every once ant a while she would let out a happy noise.

She thought the lobster were pretty funny looking

For dinner we went to red lobster it was good food, and Abigail got her first bite of cheddar biscuits, mmm (if you look closely you might be able to see her two bottom chompers)

after dinner we went to base and look at the decorations they had set up

then of course we opened our Christmas pj's and ate some nuts poped some po while we watch a Christmas movie, we also drove around looking at lights but no picture turned out.
