Bricktown - OKC

Today we went to Bricktown and I couldn't help but take tons of pics, so sorry for the overload. We walked around and looked in some shops and watched kids go sledding down snow ramps inside the Chesapeake Stadium. Afterwards, we went to Pinkitzel! It's a really cute cupcake and candy shop. AJ and Ronde got the Chocolate Malt cupcake and I got the Salted Hot Chocolate cupcake. Sooo delish!
Later, my mom and I went to a thrift store to look for props for my future photography business!! I'm just working on getting a portfolio ready and would like to turn my guest bedroom into a studio. It will be a process and I still have tons of details to work out but I really can't wait to be in business!

Bikes

Christmas Day

We had one of the best Christmas' this year especially because we were able to spend it with family. Everyone gave and received such wonderful gifts. The boys really lucked out this year. Their Grandma got them new bikes! They also got a bunch of clothes, toys, Nintendo DS, Leapster 2, games, paint set, scooter, Heelys, etc. My mom got me a really beautiful heart diamand necklace, sweater, and pajamas and Andre gave me a new lens for my camera!! Andre received silk pajama pants, slippers, sweater, a detail shaver, sweater, and a polo puffer jacket. I really enjoyed cooking Christmas dinner with my mom. We cooked stuffed flank steak with horseradish crust, butter dilled potatoes, green beans with cherry tomatoes, and rolls with pecan pie for dessert. We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas!

Mom and Sister's Visit to OK

My mom and sister flew into Oklahoma, on December 22, to spend Christmas and New Years with us. It has been so nice having them here for the holidays. It's their first time visiting OK so we are excited to show them what our life is like out here. Andre is leaving Wednesday for deployment, so I'm happy I won't be alone while he is gone. My sister, mom, and I have done some shopping. My mom watched the kids for us so Andre and I could have a date night. We went to Bricktown for pool and drinks. It has been over a year since Andre and I have gone on a date and we really needed it and greatly appreciate it. Earlier that day, we all went for a walk at one of our favorite parks...
