Winter Break!

Cold weather means a good, warm hat, a coat, and our friend Mr. Polar Bear!!!

I guess we might as well call it a Winter Break (although it's not officially called that). Four entire days without school. Barrett and I enjoyed our time together by inventing our own car "race-track / bridge. I'm telling you...Barrett has one creative (redneck) Momma! haha Hey...it's whatever works! Can you tell what our race-track is made of? Look closely. It's part of my blinds.
Thursday, we were able to sneak a play date with our friends Jamie and Wyatt. We tested out the roads between here and the mall. Since they weren't so bad, we loaded up the car seats and headed toward Collin Creek Mall for a little run around / playtime. The mall was bare! No one was there, so we just let the boys run wild. We road the choo-choo train, played on the indoor equipment, ate at the food court, threatened the boys with the security / mall cops, and made our way up and down the escalators and elevators. Now that's FUN..when you've been stuck indoors for 3 solid days!!!


Friday brought S N O W...which was a lot of fun. There is nothing like waking up to a beautiful winter wonderland. It was beautiful.

And last but not least...a family dinner date to our favorite Mexican food place, La Hacienda!!! Of course we had to wait until the roads were clear and most of the ice/snow had melted!!! Ahhhhh, how nice it was to see the sunshine and get out of the house.
Barrett obviously likes Mexican food because of the tortillas!!!
