So here's a brief catch up of somethings:
Houston trip weekend of Nov 14th. Pac-man turned 1. What?! Where did that year go? More importantly, how did I come home without any pictures of the party? Maybe because of the craziness that ensues when you combine that many under 3 year old's and several grown men that act like 18 yr olds when together. (you know it's true S,K,and other guys who I can't remember). Anyway, I did walk away with a few shots of Cupcake's time with Gigi and Papa.
We went to the zoo for Gigi's birthday. I love this picture. In fact, this might be in my top 10 pictures for 2010. Why? Click the picture for larger view. First, my father is as close to smiling in a photo as he ever is and his close-to-smile smile for pictures is about as rare as snow in Texas. Second, my mother is in fact both picking the buggers of the monkey statue and laughing at herself for doing it. And finally....the grand finale....look closely at Cupcake's right hand. She is closely evaluating what Gigi is doing and calculating that it is funny and yep...starting to be infatuated with her own buggers. Of course I don't actually like that part but I like that I have pictorial proof of Gigi's influence over Cupcake.
It seemed appropriate for Gigi's 49th birthday to let her have a carousel ride. Cupcake agreed to ride with her. This picture is strikingly similar to the one with Nana (earlier post) that actually happened two weeks later. Perhaps it's an indication why Cupcake calls Nana "Nina" and lately has begun to call Gigi "Gaga" We're working on correcting the later of the two because I refuse for my family to have any correlation to Lady Gaga albeit the girl can rock some tunes.
Flash forward through Thanksgiving to the first weekend in December. Cupcake's Aunt Bobin and her boyfriend Car came for the weekend. (At least that's how cupcake said their names some of the time. We'll roll with it for now.) We were sooooo thrilled to have them here all the way from New Hampshire. We played with dolls, ate yummy food, went to the farmers market to buy more yummy food, went to the park, got a sitter and went down town adults only to eat doughnuts and then spent Sunday eating food and playing. It was way more fun and interesting than it sounds. I'm hoping Aunt Bobin will send me the picture of the doughnuts we ate...and we did eat dinner too but the doughnuts were the "big" hit of the night. Cupcake really loved Car. All 6"5 of him had no problem getting down on her level and playing dolls. What's not to love about that? Here's some sweet pictures from the weekend:
We loved having them here!
More updates coming soon....I will get caught up before the end of 2010. Right after I get our Christmas cards in the mail. Be warned, a pictures is worth 1,000 words.
