Christmas Jammies!

It's a Christmas tradtion in our house to give pj's on Christmas Eve. Young Skywalker and Beauty Queen tore open the packages and promptly modeled their new threads for us. Hope you enjoy these pics! Our dog, (mini)Cooper, makes his blog debut in this last one.

Beauty Queen then decided that she was indeed "queen of her throne", the rocking chair. She kept pushing her big brother off when he tried to sit with her. I even sat on it when she left the room just to see what she would do when she returned. She immediately grabbed my hand and insisted that I give her *her* seat back. Aren't we all like that? Even the littlest one!

There's no White Christmases in Texas

Ratatouille is a hit!

Young Skywalker and Beauty Queen are big fans of the dish! Skywalker asked me to make it for dinner after seeing the Pixar film. He raved about it through the whole meal. Even though he helped prepare it, I don't think he realized it was ALL VEGETABLES. Beauty Queen ate her portion and most of her daddy's, too!

We give Ratatouille two thumbs up!

Williams Family Reunion: Tubing Adventure

Pickin' Perfect Pumkins

We embarked on the old familiar tradition of the family vacation on Saturday! It's been so much fun. On the way to meet Jeremy's family in Arkansas, we stopped at a pumpkin patch near Little Rock. It was a fabulous place to stretch our legs and make a memory (not to mention, take a bunch of pictures! Isn't that why we do these things?)

Young Skywalker was very focused on finding several perfect pumpkins to load into our already stuffed car. He grabbed a wagon and started loading it like a grocery cart. We had to reign him in reminding him that we still had three hours left and not enough room for these big ol' pumpkins. We settled on five smaller varieties and they are gracing the back porch of our condo as I write.

Beauty Queen had her heart set on taking full advantage of the fact that she was out of her car seat. She insisted on walking the entire time. Only second in importance to walking around was checking out the pumpkins... looking at them, drumming on them, and even occasionally tasting them.
