Trail of Lights at Zilker Park

We talked Elizabeth into coming to the Trail of Lights with us.  She came along, but for some reason she wasn't all that excited about seeing the decorations or the Asleep at the Wheel concert with the parents.  Go figure.

 

We're experienced parents, we knew just what to do: 

we bought her off with a new light saber and all was well. :-)

Poodle vs. Polar Bear

She looks sweet, but

she's got that killer instinct.

Tasty!

Round one:
Polar Bear still standing, Poodle down for the count.

I love my new city, but...

...the traffic? Not so much.

You Spent What? For a TRASHCAN?!

I couldn't help myself!
It was perfect!

Ahhwooooo

Omar and the Howlers!
What a killer work Christmas Party!!

One Minor Detail

All moved in, chinese take-out on the table, but...
where on earth are the utensils?
Of course we didn't think to ask for chopsticks!
We're HUNGRY!

We made do with a stray sugar spoon, a measuring spoon and a large plastic serving spoon for the guy with the man-sized appetite.

Onion Creek Luxury Apts., I'll Miss Your Smell the Most...

It's hard to say exactly what I'll miss the most about the luxury apartment we've been living in.
Will it be the exclusive I-35 address?
The elephant family that lived upstairs?
The single dumpster for a huge apartment complex?
The daily roach sightings?
The ample closet space?





The home office conveniently located in the gracious master suite?



The way there was a place for everything and everything in its place?

The lack of parking spaces because most tenants were seriously parking skills impaired?

No, I think I will miss the gecko who lived in this vent the most of all.

Goodbye little buddy.

What a Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Bella was home!

Amazing Andrew made the stuffing!

We have finally moved into our new home!



Although there were some people who were dearly missed on this day, we could not have been more thankful for our many, many blessings.

My Most Excellent Strong Man

Moved all this stuff.
And more.
For me.
Again.

Coulda fooled me.
