Wilson's first Thanksgiving

Wilson loves to travel. He's not the -best- traveler, he likes to be in the front with us and whine as if it we were the meanest parents for strapping him into the backseat. The best part of traveling, for Wilson, is the delicious meals prepared for him upon his arrival. Mom likes to spoil him and Wilbur with their own bowls of soups, freshly cooked beef, and the occasional eggroll. These are not table scraps mind you, oh no. No sir. These are freshly prepared with only the naturalest of ingredients, served in their very own porcelain bowls or plates - no plastic or stainless steel. And they're always followed up with big meaty soaked and boiled beef joints. Marrow chunks for days.

This was his first Thanksgiving with us. And we let him know we were thankful for having him in our lives. Without him, my knee pits would be cold at night, and my lint roller would be underutilized. And he's always there protecting me from the eminent dangers that lurk just outside the tub when I shower. Without him, I might be sporting the life-alert necklaces. So, thank you Wils, thank you.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the Thanksgiving Holiday at Moms.

What's this? You're wearing my hoodie?!
We also got him a matching hoodie - he loved it!

Holiday time!

There's something special about seeing a big tree all decorated for the holidays - it reminds me of holiday decorating when I was growing up and it put a smile on my face. I miss spending the Thanksgiving Holiday putting up the lights and the tree with my family. :-)

PS. I secretly thought they actually grew three-story tall trees just for malls like the Galleria.

PPS. No I didn't ;-)

It's Holiday Time!

Halloween!


Halloween Decorations, originally uploaded by Tygriss.

We found these neat decorations for my most favorite time of the year at Michael's back in September -- and it took everything in me to not put them up right away. I was good! I waited till after October was well underway!

There's a huge 9ft spider web, skull head spiders (of course) and Martha Stewart window clings!

Lunar New Year Celebration

Lunar New Year/Year of the Ox/Chinese New Year fell on the 26th of January this year and celebrations were going on around town all week long. We went to watch the Lion Dances and Kung Fu Exhibition up in the Heights Friday and Saturday...

Lights in the Square

Nicholas and Me and the tree

Nicholas, my sister and I drove downtown to catch the Parade of Lights and watch them light the Christmas tree in Sundance Square. We found out about it watching the evening news! We couldn't see much of the parade, but we got to watch the tree lighting from the deck at the Flying Saucer.
