Thanksgiving/Christmas/My Birthday In San Antonio

Whoa that title is a mouthful! We left for La Vernia bright and early on Thursday morning. We got to visit with my Grandma, Aunt Diane, Uncle Mike, Abby, Will, Matthew, and Gaga. On Friday Zoe and I went to visit Rob at Heights Tuxedo and had lots of good leftovers. That evening we met the Joneses at the JW Marriott to exchange gifts. Matthew and Zoe even got to make their own stuffed animals! We walked around and looked at the lights before dinner. 

On Saturday I was very busy. I had appointments all day. I was able to grab some Bill Miller's for lunch in between shopping and appointments. After my busy day I met up with family and friends at Paesano's for my birthday dinner. The food was delicious as usual and the company was even better. Zoe was so tired she ran to the bedroom and was trying to get into the pack and play on her own when we got home. The next morning we slept in and lounged around. On our way out of town we stopped by Starbucks for my free birthday drink. I even got to take a nap in the car! We met the Strawn's at Ephesus for dinner and everyone loved it. We all had Turkish beer/wine. It was the perfect ending to a perfect long weekend with family and friends.

 

 Mmmm toys.

Lazy, Rainy Days

We have had some rain the last few days so we have been cooped up. Even though the rain was still bad we went to our neighborhood Mexican restaurant on Friday night. The rain finally cleared up yesterday and Zoe and I took a trip to Target. Today we had a relaxing day and went to dinner at Ephesus Mediterranean Grill. Here are some pics from our rainy days at home!

Not sure what this face is but she sure enjoys looking at herself in the camera.

Our Fun Weekend

We had a fun, relaxing weekend. On Saturday we had lunch at Ephesus Mediterranean Grill, it is quickly becoming our favorite place to go as a family. Zoe tried a cucumber and tomato salad and the chicken kabob, Nick had a salad and the beef kabob sandwich, and I had lentil soup and a chicken kabob. We all shared baklava for dessert- seriously the best stuff ever! Zoe's afternoon nap was so long I had to go wake her up. Nick and I played with her until she went to bed and then we watched three episodes of The Newsroom (and we are currently watching one now). 

Today, after we all slept in and had lunch, Zoe and I went to the splash pad. Well, we started off at the splash pad and Zoe walked over to the pool. She walked right into the kiddie pool and loved it. She mostly just walked around in the water, splashed the water, and lined her Bubble Guppies up. Of course, she made lots of friends. We left after she face planted into the water and started coughing a bit. One little girl was kind enough to come over and ask if she was ok. For some reason Zoe did not want to take her afternoon nap so we had dinner early as well as homemade chocolate chip cookies. So we had a great weekend at home!
