Of course, by now I'm even past that. I assume you'll forgive me if I dazzle you with pictures of an adorable toddler on Christmas morning? Oh good...
Still waking up and not sure what's going on
Oh wait, this IS fun!
Santa knew that Sierra loves books and puppy dogs- so what could be better than a book about dogs??
The true meaning of Christmas... right? mmmmmmm
Sierra was absolutely in doggie-heaven in Beeville: Zoe, Izzy, Moe, Flash, Ruger, Captain, Cruiser, Frida, and Socks- the humans were actually out-numbered. And Sierra wasn't the least bit intimidated by her enormous "cousins"- and of course they were as sweet as could be with her. :)
All dressed up!
Somehow, we didn't get any pictures of Christmas time with Chrissy's family in Sugar Land, so I'm shameless stealing Catherine's facebook pics... ;) thx cuz.
After all of our December travels, our nomadic bunch decided to try something crazy: staying in Houston for 6 whole weeks in a row! Craziness! So we just pretended to leave town and go to China. Yep, we have a miniature China just 30 minutes away in Katy that we've been meaning to visit for several years.
4,000 miniature Terra Cotta Warriors- pretty impressive.
Terra Cotta Warrior is no match for Giant Ginger Baby!
(This seemed cute at the time, but the pictures just seem creepy.)
Trying to get her to interact with him with "Where is his belly-button?"
Giant Ginger Baby on the rampage
(FYI, this place was going out of business very soon and had some of their old models laying out in the grass. I promise we weren't letting her tromp through the displays.)
Also on our list of Houston adventures was the Downtown Aquarium. Love this sweet picture.
The deadly Lionfish
For some bizarre reason, the Aquarium has 4 white tigers. A little strange and sad to have these guys in the middle of a giant city, but they're impressive to see up-close. (Yeah, that's my knee down at the bottom.) Sierra really enjoyed the big cats.
We decided it was time for Sierra's first carousel ride...
First impression, intrigued. This dolphin seems friendly enough.
Strapped in and not loving it.
And Mama's remembering why she doesn't ride these things...
LET ME OFF THIS CRAZY RIDE!!
I think that gets us caught up.... see ya again soon! :)
