So we got some real photos taken not too long ago.
These are the "sneak peek" photos we got a while ago. I'm seriously staying up tonight because she was supposed to send me a link today to download the rest of them. (She has two hours until midnight.......)
Anyway......life has been fun! Tonia and Autumn and Alyssa came for Thanksgiving! We went to the parade in Austin (that I have been wanting to go to for three years, but no one would go with me.)
So one morning, I asked Scott to watch Jesse for a minute while I was doing my hair. (This doesn't take long.) Heard noise in the kitchen. (Sweet....Scott is cleaning up the kitchen too!) Anyway, came out to find this. Scott was no where in sight. Jesse was unloading the dirty dishes.
Lexi, the eskimo.
Went to the riverwalk in Bastrop. It's all dectated (Summer's word) for Christmas.
Definitely the coolest of the decorations.
(Lexi looks so comfortable on the dino.)
(Lucky thing it wasn't really busy that evening.....I don't think they meant for us to try to ride or pet or terrorize every single decoration there.)
My favorite.
More of the eskimoness. As things always go, the parade was pretty chilly. So far this week, we've had temperatures in the 80's everyday, but a cold front is supposed to come tomorrow I think. The high's for Saturday are supposed to be in the 30's. Having a debate with Scott (which I am currently losing), that I think we should keep our air conditioner off....because it's bogus to run the AC and the heater in the same week. I think we should let the house get as hot as possible, because we know it's going to be very cold in a few days.
So on the great adventure to Austin for the Christmas parade....Scott didn't come, but he told me some directions to get there and find parking. I thought I could kinda find the way. Scott drew a little map before we left. I was just trying to remember the key points....7th St exit to Red River....anyway, we were driving along, and suddenly we were at a stoplight with four lanes of traffic coming at us. Guess we need to turn now. But we hadn't got to Red River yet. Anyway, that got us all off course, and traffic was pretty busy, and I had no idea where we were going. Anyway, Summer....inspired by Scott's map, drew the map in the picture. (I know, I know, you immediately recognized it as a map.) So anyway, it was an awesome moment, little bit stressed, trying not to crash, with Summer shouting from the backseat "MAMA!! MAMA! DID YOU LOOK AT MY MAP? LOOK AT MY MAP!! MAMA! MAMA! MY MAP! I HAVE A MAP!"
Anyway, we made it!
(We almost made it on TV.)
(There were other awesome moments too, besides Summer's map moment. Like, when Lexi's diaper leaked on Autumn. Or her obsession with the Curious George balloon at the beginning of the parade. "But I want the muckey to come baaaaaack. But I want the muckey to come baaaaaaaaaaaaack. But I want the muckey to come baaaaaaack.")
There goes Frosty the Snowman.
Afterwards, Scott met us at Cherry Berry.
Here's the twins. I asked them to pose together because everyone always says Lexi looks like Alyssa.
That's all for now. It's 10:30 and still no pictures from the photographer. Maybe I should give up and go to bed.
