Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

It snowed today in Houston! It was beautiful. It didn't stick a whole lot but it was really coming down! I took my kids outside to run and play in it and they loved it! It was fun to watch their excited little face as they opened their mouths and tried to catch snow! Our school let out early and just in time for carpool (where the teachers have to stand outside for 30 min. and load kids in cars) it really started to snow. It was freezing but fun. One of the moms who drove through even brought enough hot chocolates from Starbucks for all of the teachers who were outside! It was the perfect treat!

Here are our cars after school.

Bingo

So last night Drew and I went to play bingo with a group of friends. That's right, bingo. It was surprisingly a lot of fun! It was at a hall that just looks like a place where old people would play bingo but there were lots of young people there. They have cheap beer and food and it only costs $5 for about two hours of fun! The place was packed; there were probably 500 people there. We will be back next Thursday for sure! I hope you get a good laugh when you look at these pictures.....I know I did!

Bingo!

Drew and Sean. Sean was the only one we were with that won.

Just look at this place.


Everyone was pretending they won.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was very nice with Drew's family. On Thanksgiving we went to a hotel for lunch and then went to a movie. We saw The Blind Side and it was awesome! Later that night some family came over to the Allen's and that was fun! Friday night was Drew's grandmother's 90th birthday party. Paula had it catered, Louise brought a photo booth and everyone gave toasts to Pat. After the party everyone went out. The best part of the night was when Louise put on a performance to a Michael Jackson song. She even did the splits at one point.....priceless! Anyway, here are some pictures.
