On the Twenty Fourth Day of December

Today is the Hubs birthday. Happy Birthday, Honey!
Yesterday we took the girls into downtown San Antonio to do our annual Christmas visit. We love it down there this time of year. They light up the Riverwalk, we ride the river boats, take a horse carriage ride, and visit the Alamo. This year we decided to surprise the girls by staying overnight downtown. They could not believe the surprise. It was a cold 40 degrees but we had a blast. I think we'll make it a tradition.
In case you've been living under a rock, you can track Santa and find our where he is right now. Hope you'll wake up tomorrow to find magic that only children know.
On the Twenty Second Day of December

Yesterday we made Christmas cookies. Our traditional cream cheese cutouts. Yum. We ended up with minimal sprinkles on the floor this year. Sniff. The girls are growing up. It was a cold 40 degrees yesterday, we stayed in our jammies, got a fire going, nice. Visit Tracey's for more Best Shots on this last Monday before Christmas.
In case you are interested, I found a Christmas cookie photo contest that runs into January. You could win a nice prize while doing what you would have done anyway- make cookies then take pictures of them. At least that's what I do.
On the Twenty First Day of December

Yesterday we took the kids to a water park that they turned into a Christmas village during the holidays. Tons of Christmas lights and music, Santa and the Mrs. But the highlight of the evening (I think for all of us) was the ice skating. All of the kiddos did so well for never having ice skated before. This is the only pic that turned out. I only carried my little point and shoot and it doesn't do so well in low light. And, it's very hard to balance for my life and take pictures at the same time. For some reason I got a lot of feet shots (unintentionally.) It was so much fun. Although Vienne is wearing a jacket up there, it was about 70 degrees. I'd say the perfect weather for ice skating.
