Christmas Fun!

Abby went with Daddy to pick out a Christmas tree. His name is Bob. Abby loved the decorating part!

Owen liked taking off the ornaments. (still does)

So proud

Mike had a work party at the Zoo. This was Abby's first time meeting Santa!

Owen wasn't so sure about it.

They were excited about their presents :)




We decided we should get a pet Meerkat. Owen watched them for like 15 minutes.

Abby liked crawling through the tunnel in the fish tank


Elephants!

Daddy trying to point out the cougar

I couldn't believe the size of their horns!

Rhinos!

Good times!

Daddy daughter date at the circus

Playing in the leaves!

The kids thought the leaf blower was pretty cool

Abby and Owen are good buddies (most of the time)

A true Texan.

Many hours spent on the tramp. The kids had a "ball" :)

Scoping out the alligators, We probably saw half a dozen or so




lunch time!





I thought this picture was so cute.


We saw a cute little family of sun-bathing turtles


On top of the look out. Hello Mimi!



The kids got plenty of stroller rides thanks to Papa


Owen loves Uncle Paul! Paul played a game with him where he would grab his tummy and say boom. Everytime Owen saw him after he'd say "boom!"


Owen didn't like the stroller so Paul carried him. They have their special giant bond.



Shar showed the kids some really cool trees with branches low enough for the kids to climb on.


Enjoying a little icecream snack afterwards :)


We missed the UK, Cali, and Utahn Thayers!
