Rob's Visit Part 1

Christmas is always one of my favorites times of the year. This year and last year were expecially special though, because MY BROTHER CAME HOME!!! :) That's right, Blair (aka Rob) made the trip all the way from Hong Kong to Texas. It was soooo good to see him. The kids were so excited that he was coming. We hadn't seen him since June in Hawaii, so it had beena little while. PLUS, my Uncle Cary was here too which made it evven more special! They arrived in Texas on Christmas Eve and came straight to Celina where we went to Christmas Eve service at church then back home for food, family and fun. I hope Blair didn't think he was going to sleep in on Christmas morning! Not with Kason and Katie in the house!! :) They woke him up around 6:30 or so Christmas morning with "Wake up, Uncle Rob!" It was a fun morning!

That afternoon, we went to Oma and Art's house for dinner and gifts with Poos, Jim, Shane and Jamie. It was so wonderful to have the whole family together!
The guys....
Rob said he wanted to buy Kason a bed for Christmas. So a few days after Christmas Blair and I went shopping. It was so great to have a day together, just the 2 of us! It has been a long time since we have done that! We found Kason's bed at Rooms To Go, they delivered it a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't it look great in Kason's room!?!?
After we had purchased the bed, Blair and I went to BJ's restaurant for lunch and drinks. Here is a pic taken by our waitor at lunch. We had so much fun! Do you like the hat the Blair bought me?? I think it suits me pretty well. :)
Rob had said that he wanted to take the kids somewhere special while he was here. We decided to go to the Charlie Brown Ice Exhibit at the Gaylord resort in Grapevine. Mom came over that morning and we drove to Grapevine and met Blair there. Here is a pic of Katie when she saw her uncle. Too cute!In addition to the ice exhibit, they also had a snow hill with sledding. Kason had a blast with that! Katie wasn't so sure... She went down once but wasn't too keen on doing it again. Once Kason had had his fill of sledding, we went to the ice exhibit. They gave us big blue coats to wear because it was 9 degrees inside the building. Don't the boys look cute?? :)
Kason was excited about the Ice exhibit, but Katie wasn't too sure at first. She did not want to put that big blue coat on, but we finally got it on her. We couldn't get the hood to stay on her, though, so Kason was sweet enough to give her her hat so she wouldn't be too cold.
After the ice exhibit, we ate lunch at one of the restaurants inside the Gaylord. We ate outside in the Atrium and had alot of fun and good food! Here are the boys at our table.
After lunch, we stopped at the wishing fountain to throw some coins in and take a few more pics. The kids love their Uncle Rob!!

Then, it was time to head out.

After one last pic.... :)

What a fun day! Thank you Uncle Rob, we love you!!!!
