The Children's Museum

So apparently I just saved this instead of posted it... hehe.

We met Amanda, Brian and little Gabriel at The Children's Museum in Houston. This was a wonderful place to meet. It was one of the only central locations that we could think of. The mall on black Friday wouldn't work. We also thought about the Zoo but decided inside would be better. This turned out be be a GREAT idea. The boys had so much fun. I do have to admit the adults had fun as well. We were able to visit and catch up and play with all the toys!

The Childrens' Museum has a great toddler play area with pyramids and lots of great areas to crawl on. They also had TONS of toys, the great thing about the toys is that they were constantly changing them out and cleaning them. They had a really cool big lite board. The ball pit was a big hit Kase and Gabriel had tons of fun in it. The adults enjoyed watching the boys take just one ball back and forth from each other when there were tons of balls in the pit. :)

We miss hanging out with Amanda and Brian. We for sure have to get the boys together again really soon! Click on the link below the previous post for the pictures of Thanksgiving and the Children's Museum trip!

Kase's First Thanksgiving

Kase had his first Thanksgiving! Chris and I took of a few days from work and drove to Magnolia to visit the family on Wednesday. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Mangaw's house! We had 37 people at the house for dinner. It was crazy! Kase got to meet some of his cousins that he has not had a chance to meet before. Kase had his normal baby food lunch but also partook in some big boy food. He ate a few bites of turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes and a bite of potato salad. He had so much fun trying different foods and eating with us at the dinner table.


After dinner the sisters traded Thanksgiving gifts. This has been a tradition that they have done for as long as I can remember. We had some desert and coffee and shared family memories. The boys played the bean bag toss game for hours to work off the Turkey. Of course there was a little football watching too.


We have so much to be thankful for again this year. We are so very blessed with our new addition to our family. I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers and friendship. We wish every one a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas!

The gift bag from one of the Turkey day gifts. This bag has been passed back and forth every year between Mangaw and Aunt Jane. The tags are on the outside to prove it.

The boys playing. Every one is in deep thought. It was a very heated game.
