Christmas Fun #5- Sea World Again!

SEA WORLD! Christmas with Shamu

We went to Sea World a couple of Saturday's ago. It was so much fun. Since were are season pass holders we each got a special Sea World ornament. It is of Shamu's tail. It was a pretty chilly day (cold for San Antonio warm for Utah) and so we all bundled up and headed out for a fun day. There were hardly any other people there so once again we had the whole park to ourself. I rode the roller coasters again with no line! Wahoo! We spent most of the day at the childrens area called Happy Harbor. Her and Daddy played above in the big nets...while I watched sweet little Tanner sleep. (He slept the whole time we were at Sea World) Sophie rode the Shamu Roller Coaster a couple of times...she is so excited she is tall enough now and then we finished the day with The Polar Express 4D show. We are planning on going to Sea World again this weekend!

Christmas Fun #4 - Sunshine Cottage My Family and Me Christmas Party

Tanner was so nice to invite mommy and sissy to his Christmas party at Sunshine Cottage. We had so much fun. We played pin the nose on rudolph, dug through snow for prizes, made Christmas tree, chocolate dipped pretzels, took pictures for scrapbook page, chipped at ice for prizes and sang lots of fun songs. What a fun way to kick off this December!

Holiday Fun #3 - Family Pics for Christmas Card

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

While Travis' parents were here we had them take some pictures of our family. Here are just a couple of pictures....since Travis downloaded them to his computer.

I LOVE this picture! His eyes are so blue!! He is such a cutie!

Happy Thanksgiving with a visit from Grandpala and Grandma

Grandpala and Grandma Baldwin came to our house for Thanksgiving this year! We had so much fun. We had a yummy dinner, went to the early morning sales Friday morning and decorated for Christmas. Daddy and Grandpala spent a lot of time outside working on the yard, to help our house sell easier in the spring. We even got to have a fun little Christmas together...Sophie and Tanner opened their presents from Grandpala and Grandma.

We had some of our friends from church over for Thankgiving along with Grandpala and Grandma. Sophie loved having a buddy to eat Thanksgiving dinner with. They especially loved decorating turkey cookies!

Christmas Fun #2 - UIW Lighting the Way

"Lighting the Way" - University of Incarnate Word

We met up with the Marelli Family for the University of Incarnate Word "Lighting the Way" ceremony. We started the night off by watching a parade and eating pizza. Then we walked over to the University for the Lighting ceremony. They have every tree on campus covered in lights. It was beautiful! Sophie loved holding the candle. Travis kept a good watch over her with the candle. After they turned on the lights we all walked holding the candles over to the HEB Central Market for free hot chocolate and cookies. It was such a fun night, with the exception of some one who is not very nice sprayed pepper spray and so as the 100's of people came walking around a corner by the school we all stared coughing, even little Tanner. I was so mad...but I didn't let it ruin our fun night. Thanks Marelli's for another fun filled evening!

Christmas Already???? Christmas Fun #1 - Sea World

Sea World Christmas Sneak Peek Preview Night!

Well this is Sophie dancing away to Sesame Street...the only problem was is that her pants kept creeping down, so not only did the audience get to see the show..they also got a sneak peek at her plumbers crack.

Since we are season pass holders we were invited to a special sneak preview of the Sea World Christmas Event. It had been raining all day Friday, but I was determined we would go anyway. When Travis got home he looked at me like I was crazy, but being the super great husband he is he just went along with it. We all got bundled up and drove to sea world. The park opened at 7pm and we got there right when it opened. We were able to see the Polar Express 4D show they have, The Sea Lion Christmas show, I got to ride the roller coaster (the front car...it was awesome), the Sesame Street Christmas show, and the Shamu Christmas Miracle show. One of the workers told me they were projecting about 350 people to show up and he heard only about 150 showed up. So, basically we had the park to ourself. We were able to see the 4 shows they were showing that night and left the park when it closed at 10. The rain stopped right when we got to Sea world so it ended up being a wonderful and fun evening.

Spurs Game

I have lived here in San Antonio now 4 1/2 years and had not yet gone to a Spurs game. So, Travis got some tickets from school and I finally got to go. We dropped Sophie and Tanner off at our friends house and then went to the game. Although we were in the nose-bleed section...which actually took my breath away (not in a good way)...we still had a fun time. Along with our tickets we got wristbands where we could get all you can eat nachos, hotdogs, peanuts, popcorn, and drinks. We had so much fun even though the Spurs lost.
