Lowry Family Christmas

Sunday we had Christmas lunch with my Mom's side of the family. The boys especially loved Uncle Brad's iphone games.


And a Sunday wouldn't be complete without a little napping.

The Nutcracker

Later Saturday night we headed to watch the San Angelo Civic Ballet's production of the Nutcracker. It is mainly performed by children. It was a lovely time out with the girls.

Buse / White Family Christmas

The weekend before Christmas we celebrated Christmas with my family. We started with my Dad's side of the family. We had a good time talking and looking at old pictures. Here is my Dad and his siblings.



Here is Granddaddy and G Mommy with the grandkids (minus Jackson who didn't want to take pictures)



Later that afternoon we exchanged gifts as a family in between watching the high school State football game.



The aftermath of the gifts...

The Polar Express

This year's Christmas parties at school had an uniformed theme - The Polar Express. It was held in the gym and each grade had the same activities. There was cookie decorating, snowmen bowling, wrapping contest and a snowball fight.




The Kindergartens had a visit from a special guest.

Christmas Play

The daycare had their annual Christmas play and this year Jenna was an angel and Jackson was a donkey. Very proud of both of them. Jenna had some lines and Jackson managed to stay still and perform.

Thanksgiving 2010

We spent Thanksgiving this year in Houston. It was a quick eat and run for us as we headed to Austin for the game in the cold.

We had a beautiful table

Annual Mother - Daughter Game

November 20th was our annual Mother - Daughter Texas game. It was an afternoon game so we didn't have to get up quite so early to drive down. It was a non-conference game that Texas actually won so it was a good one for Jenna to attend.



Jenna still liked watching the band.



Or maybe getting on the Jumbotron was her favorite this year.



Since it was an afternoon game Jenna got to see the tower turn orange at the end of "Eyes of Texas."



Great day with Jenna! She started asking football questions and tried to understand the game. Wonderful memories that I remember sharing with my Dad as a kid.
