January Fun

School is in full swing again.  Alan's Basketball team has won two district games and these are the first district wins in about five years for the ladies basketball team.

Wednesday was my birthday and Anna made a cheesecake for me and we went out to dinner at a local restaurant.  Friday we had an ice storm but we were the only school in our area that did not close or have a delay.  Then on Saturday we headed south to Corpus Christi to really celebrate my birthday.  No more ice and it was a beautiful day. 

We were going to go to the original Whataburger for lunch but the kids wanted to go to the two story Whataburger by the bay.  After lunch we drove down the coastal highway and Alan took me shopping to buy my birthday present.  He bought a Brighton necklace and matching bracelet and it is beautiful.  After that, we headed back toward a playground on the beach and enjoyed the water and some play time. 

We all decided that we should go check out the USS Lexington.  Andrew loved that!!!! He wants to design airplanes one day.  He could have stayed there all day and been happy.  He is already talking about going back to see it again.

We then had dinner on the water at Pier 99 and had some delicious seafood.  It was time to head home.  What a fun birthday celebration with my family.
