12/16 – 12/31
I’m going to combine these weeks as we were mostly on
vacation so it’s easier. We flew to Houston on 12/23 in the morning. We went
through Tulsa, OK. We just stayed on the plane which was nice! Blake and Kylie
did really well. Kylie slept for a little while on both flights but not the
whole time. The last flight Blake was getting antsy but he wasn’t too bad.
When we arrived at Houston we headed to a Mac and Cheese
place which was really good and then went to a nice neighborhood to look at
lights! We stayed at Rebecca’s that night.
Christmas Eve we headed to Joshes house and the kids played
for a little bit and then we headed to a Christmas town to see Santa. Blake did
really well this time. We walked around the town for a little bit and then
headed to the mall and the kids went on the carousel. We went to Josh’s and had
Chinese and then the kids opened Christmas Jammies. Blake and Kylie had
matching Jammies! The kids also decorated Sugar cookies for Santa! Everyone
went to bed and Santa came!
Christmas morning the kids didn’t wake up too early. We
ended up waking Blake up which we shouldn’t have. The opened their presents
which after a while Blake was grumpy and wasn’t interested. Again, we shouldn’t
have woken him up. After presents we got ready for church and went to church.
We relaxed at Joshs outside after and then the kids took naps. We went to Tina
and Rogers for dinner! We had so much fun! We had dinner and then ice cream and
pie followed by swimming! Blake and Kylie loved it! Blake for sure had a blast!
The next day we went to Galveston! We had fun but pushed the
kids to do a little more than they could handle. We went to the Sam Houston
monument on our way and then stopped
for lunch then walked the Boardwalk Pier. Blake threw food to the fish which
was fun! We went to Galveston next and went on the Ferry at Galveston. Blake
thought it was cool but it was super cold! We went to Moodie Gardens next and
went to the Rainforest Exhibit and the Christmas Lights. There were so many
Christmas Lights! At this point, Kylie was exhausted and wouldn’t stop crying
so I ready to go home! I felt horrible for pushing her so much during the day.
We stopped at Fuddruckers on our way home for dinner which was a disaster
because Blake fell asleep before we got there and you don’t wake Blake up
because he’s a monster. On top of all of this I had a super high fever the
whole day and felt terrible. That night Jeremy started getting sick and my
fever got higher. It was a long night for the two of us.
The next day we went to Josh’s house and hung out for most
of the day. Jeremy and I ran some errands. We went to Chuy’s for dinner that
night. It was relaxing day.
Our last day in Houston we went to the Houston Zoo and then
to the Aquarium for lunch. The zoo was fun! Blake enjoyed spending time with
Olivia! They were best buds the whole time! He was always asking where Oliva
and Josh were. The aquarium was fun too. We sat right next to the glass so the
kids were able to go and look at the fish. We hung out at Josh’s for the rest
of the day so the kids could play.
The next morning we headed to San Antonio for Six Flags. It
was hot the whole time until the day we wanted it to be warm. It was super cold
and windy so we were freezing at the park. We didn’t get to start riding rides
until almost 2 and then we left around 6. We went on tea cups, school bus,
swings, Ferris wheels, Scooby doo haunted house, train, spinning rides, drop
ride, Dumbo, strawberry ride, kids roller coaster and cars. There was a lot
more but it was just too cold and was getting late. We went to Cici’s for
dinner that night and then went to bed. It was Jeremy and I’s 7th
Anniversary but we decided to not celebrate this year.
The next day we went to the Alamo and River Walk. It was
still cold so we didn’t spend too long. We all said bye and went our separate
ways. We planned on going to Six Flags again but it was too cold. We just drove
to Ozona. It was the smallest town! There was our hotel, sonic and dairy Queen
and a gas station. We ate at Sonic so Blake could play in the play house and
then went to the hotel. It felt late but it was super early. We watched TV and
Jeremy got us ice cream and then we went to bed early.
We headed to El Paso the next day. We planned to go to the
zoo but when we got there they said it was cold so very few animals were out so
we decided to not go. We went swimming at the hotel and then had dinner at the
hotel. We went to bed early and literally did nothing to celebrate New Year’s!
Lame!
Blake put fruit loops in his ears as ear plugs
Almost Home!
