Breakfast with Santa

While we were in Mexico, Miller stayed with Noni and JoJo. They took him to Breakfast with Santa at our church.
Miller and JoJo with Rudolph. Doesn't it look one of the other reindeer punched him in the face?

Excited to see Santa...

...but not wanting to get close.

Mayakoba, Mexico

For my birthday gift and both of our Christmas gifts to each other, we took a 3 night trip to Mayakoba, Mexico (in the Rivera Maya between Cancun and Playa). We got a great deal at Banyon Tree Hotel and it was the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at.

Here is the open air lobby with a banyon tree in the lagoon in the center of the main hotel area.

Here is our awesome room.

We had an outdoor bathtub. The wall behind the tub is a wall of votives.

This was our own private courtyard with our own pool.

The hotel has 4:00 tea time everyday so we took advantage of the great weather and enjoyed some tea.

Jud played golf one afternoon. The boat that takes you through the lagoons to and from the beach goes right through the golf course.

The beach was absolutely wonderful. They had these great beach beds that were so comfortable. We could of stayed there for forever.


On the boat headed back to the hotel from the beach.

Heading back into the lobby area on the boat.

At dinner at the hotel signature Thai restaurant - they had delicious food at the hotel.

Christmas is coming!

Rah Rah TCU Horned Frogs!

We drove up to Ft. Worth for the TCU vs. Utah game in mid November and had so much fun!

We stayed at Hotel Storms and Miller loved playing with Laura and Bryce (Benjamin is a little too young to join in the action). The boys took a quick break from running around to pose for a picture.

Jud and Bryan went down to ESPN Gameday on Saturday morning. They were set up in the middle of TCU's awesome new campus. There were so many people there and look how many signs. The announcers were so impressed with the TCU fans.

The game was at 6:30 Saturday night. Miller was super excited, but was a little confused as he really wanted to see the train and the bunny Junction Jack (he thought we were going to an Astros game). He figured it out as soon as we got to our seats and loved Super Frog. Here he is watching the game with Daddy. Jud threw him up in the air everytime TCU scored.

He was so good at the game. We did go on several walks through the stadium, but overall he did so well.

A sellout - the stadium was so loud and there was so much excitement! Check out the new suites that are a new addition to the stadium this year.

Miller lasted the whole game and didn't even get fussy. We had so much fun and are so proud of our Horned Frogs! See you at the Fiesta bowl!
