Neighborhood Santa

On Friday the neighborhood had a Christmas block party. Turnout was excellent and Santa was there! Sean was a little shy of Santa.

Jingle Bell Run

On Sunday Mom ran the 5 mile YMCA Jingle Bell Run downtown. Dad and Sean were there for moral support (until they escaped the windy and rainy weather by going to the Flying Saucer to watch the Texans win their 4th in a row by beating the top ranked Titans.)

Sean loves to dip his chips

Friendswood Christmas Parade

On Saturday Friendswood had its annual Christmas Parade. Very cool. The streets were packed with spectators and the parade was long.

This electric truck looked like Maytor from Cars to Sean

Sean was totally focused on the parade

What is coming next?

Snow in Houston!

On Wednesday night it snowed in Houston! It tied the record for the earliest ever snowfall in Houston - and, of course, we usually go 10+ years between actual snowfalls here.

Grandma (a Yankee) is excited too

Snow on tropical plants

The backyard...

Too much excitement for Sean - who could not figure out why the adults kept on calling "rain" snow

Cookie Exchange

On 12/7/08 many of our friends came over for a Christmas cookie exchange. The cookie count was staggering!
