Romance and Birthdays

I love vacations! Thus the blog name......:) Kim surprised me with a romantic trip to Galveston Moody Gardens just "because". The light show was beautiful. He's still got it!

This is the view from our room.

Then on the way home, we stopped by Pearland for Curtis' 1st Birthday! That was a fast year! He's such a ham! We gave him a red wagon which he loved. The party was a hit for everyone but mostly for Curtis himself. I was surprised when he dug into the cake......but without his hands! Guess he knew about the trough nights the Schwartz family used to celebrate! What fun!!! Kim's brother, Denny, his wife, Jane and daughter Megan all were able to join us for the party. We are so blessed to have them close by.

Jillian.....you did a great job planning and decorating! It was a fabulous 1st birthday! I just don't know how you're going to best this one for his 2nd! We are so proud of you and your job as Mommy. You and Jacob are such fabulous parents. God certainly blessed Curtis with you both.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to all! Today we celebrate God's greatest gift of all...his son! Rejoice!!!

Christmas Day at our house is unusually quiet. We celebrated last night by opening gifts, eating lasagna and going to mass. It was a wonderful day! Nothing like Christmas with a baby!! Curtis did not disappoint us. He enjoyed his new "couch" and toys. So much fun!!! He even behaved in church. What a trooper! I've posted lots of pictures in picassa but here's a teaser with him playing with the gift that my mom and dad gave him on his fold out couch.

The Woods family had a wonderful surprise.......Kristy's sister decided to have her baby early and delivered Trevor yesterday afternoon. Exactly when her other two kids wanted him born! Merry Christmas to them! :) I know that Grandma & Grandpa Wood were extremely excited to be here for the delivery. Our most sincere congratulations to them all!
