This may sound kinda lame to most Texans, but even though I have lived in Texas for 4 years, I still had never been to the Professional Rodeo Circuit that comes every year. Last night was a first. Our intention was to go to the concert of Miranda Lambert (because Lissy is learning to play the guitar and loves to watch young guitar stars), and we were surprised to find out that the "rodeo" takes place before the concert. It started out awesome, parade of US flags, acknowledgment that freedom is not free, and that we have our US soldiers defending freedom who deserve a salute. I liked that part but did not like the part that seemed to be a little too rough on the livestock. It was going through my mind how some of the events are not outlawed. I don't know, maybe that is the non-Texan in me. I don't even wanna tell my sister about it because she is a PETA fanatic.
Lissy is so ready for "COWGIRL" dress up at school this month (each Wednesday in February). She has always been a cowgirl of a sense, even in North Carolina, but now it is even better because she says now, she lives in San Antonio, TEXAS! Have fun sweetheart, with your boots, hat and leather fringed vest and skirt!
Daddy sure must love his Lissy! He plays tea parties, Hannah Montana Concert, and Make-Up with Lissy-Lou. She has such fun with Chad, but the pink boa, pink lipstick, and girlie hat and jewels have got to go!
At 7:00am Lissy was up and ready to see if Santa came to visit her. Considering I did not go to bed until 2am, it was really hard to get up and be "Holly-Jolly", but I did it. Remember she asked Santa for all of that Hannah Montana stuff? She was definitely on the "Good List" because he brought it to her. I have decided though that blonde is not her color. Mommy got a Lambie blanket that is as soft as the Alpaca's. I love it. We hope your holiday season and Christmas morning was just as blessed.
In New Mexico (my home state) traditional Mexican food on Christmas Eve is a must. Thank heaven that momma moved with us to San Antonio to continue the tradition of menudo, tamales, carnitas, homemade corn tortillas, fresh salsa, the works! If you want to have "real" mexican food, come join us...but not if you are watching your calories (unfortunately).
It is official, we are going to make a gingerbread house construction an annual event! We bought a kit from that cute little bakery we found in Boerne. The kit had all sorts of sweet goodies, everything we needed to make a masterpiece. I let daddy take control of the construction and now I am thinking that perhaps he should get out of the Army and become a baker! Everyone loved the masterpiece. It looks so cute, we had a hard time eating the roof.
Santa needs to come to our house because there is a cute little girl who wants
1. Guitar
2. Hannah Montana Microphone
3. Hannah Montana Wig
After the letter was written it was sent to Santa via the chimmney. Daddy loves the whole episode of writing the letter, and burning it in the fire so that we can get it to Santa ASAP (via magic).
I have come to realize that I live with a Christmas Angel. For the first time, Alyssa is REALLY into Christmas, Santa, making friends gifts, the whole sha-bang. As soon as we get home she runs to turn on Christmas lights and changes the little decorations that tell us how many days till Christmas.
Our little elf loves to sleep under the tree. She got teary-eyed when we told her that during school nights she was not allowed. Her daddy encourages the awaited Christmas festivities by filling her belly with hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies and talking about what kind of snacks they will make and leave for Santa, for some reason Chad seems to have a vested interest??!?
Merry Christmas to my sweet angel and only a few more days till the birth of Christ and of course Santa's visit.
