So, the super bowl in Dallas. I mean, Arlington, Texas. Pretty exciting for people around here! I was slightly disappointed not to be working this weekend because I wanted to see all the celebs flooding into DFW. I am sorta into all that Hollywood hoopla. So, I was pretty excited when my friend, Andrea, called and asked if I wanted to go to this Faith Hill Super Bowl thing. We didn't really have any idea what it was. When we got there, we found out they had free food. More importantly, they had free alcohol. I am no lush. I used to be, but not anymore. So, after about a year of no drinking, the free flowing wine was awesome! The really awesome part was when we saw all these hot babes in the VIP area. Tim Tebow (who Brandon assures me is a DB), Jason Witten, Matt Hasselbeck, and more dudes were there and they were so good looking! Somehow (pretty sure it was the wine) Andrea and I sneaked into the VIP area. We felt pretty cool. In reality, we probably looked like a couple of total nerds! Drunk nerds! It was really fun and exciting.
And then something else super cool happened. We were in a bar and some man bought shots for everyone in the bar! I have (for some reason) ALWAYS wanted to be in a bar where somebody did that! Got to mark that off of my bucket list.
Now, all this fun in one night, I still have to get up at 7 and take care of two babies. I see why you have the party stage prekids, prejob, premarriage... I just could never do this again night after night like I used to back in the day. Glad I had such fun years, but also glad they are behind me! I will stick with bounce houses, and Diet Dr. Pepper. As long as I can have the occasional awesome experience!

Christmas!
We had such a fun, busy Christmas this year! We started off when Brandon's mom, sisters, and grandmother came over and celebrated with us on the 23rd. SuSu got Brandon all the stuff to make homemade pizza and taught him how! Here is Gates (in her new princess dress) cooking with SuSu and Daddy.
Alison, Laura and Alan
On Christmas Eve we went over to Carianne and Rodney's house to eat, make gingerbread houses, and have some holiday fun! These two kids LOVED making the houses, and eating the candy!
The completed village!
When we got home we read The Night Before Christmas, got our cookies (oreos) ready for Santa, and went to bed.
It was very hard to get to sleep because of all the anticipation. Gates was sooo concerned with the cookies and where Santa was, and was he bringing treats? She was very excited and pretty darn cute with the whole thing! Alan was pumped up too!
We got up and set the video camera up on a tripod, just in case she went into the living room first before our room. She ended up coming to us first, but we still have the morning on video. It was sooo magical and fun to see her excitement.
Mommy, a new cart!!!!!
She was super excited about every single thing. Even the panties. She just kept saying, "Santa brought me princess panties"
Gates asked for treats. Lots and lots of treats. In her stocking, there was a lot of candy, and so she carried that around, until I hid it a couple of days ago... :)
What's this? Her favorite gift, from her favorite person. Uncle Tucker gave her this book full of starbursts!!
So, after Christmas morning at our house, the 4 of us packed up and went to Granbury. Were Gates had a very special gift and surprise from Grandear. See that door by the toilet? Grandear turned it into a special "little room". She filled it with all sorts of Gatesy's favorite things.
The door opens..
and here we are.... Brandon says its like Anne Frank.
Here is another little pic of the three of us in the special little playroom.
Sunday we went over to MawMaw's house to visit and celebrate again! MawMaw gave Gates this awesome Dora tent, and even got in there and played tent!!! Sadly, I did not take many pics on Sunday...
