Christmas Program

Last night was Max's Christmas Program at school. After a long day at school, followed up by a long night at an event, he was quite pooped when he got home finally last night around 8:30. His class sang, This Little Light of Mine, Away in a Manger, did a Christmas poem and another couple of songs. He did fine on the first song but then discovered his shoelace was untied and that turned into his main focus. He still participated in the motions of the songs but he sat down on the riser behind another little girl. So, we didn't see much of Max after that. Still, the kids did an awesome job!

Wassail Fest

Last week went to Wassail Fest in New Braunfels with Papaw Curtis and Grandma Lynette. Wassail is a hot cider. We started our evening at MacAddo's with some yummy seafood. Max met a friend out in the courtyard and spent the entire meal running around and jumping on the music stage. After supper we headed down to the shops to taste some wassail and shopping. Unfortunately there were a gazillion people there so we only had a small sip of wassail, checked out the train depot and then retreated to the car for a stop for ice cream at Dairy Queen. By the end of that stop, he was covered hair to chin!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in New Braunfels and went camping. Thanksgiving was really hot. I didn't plan for what to dress Max in so he ended up running around without a shirt for most of the day. It felt really great when the cold front rolled through. Pictured also is my mother singing her well known Thanksgiving classic. The "Moo Cow Song". It was super cold camping but Max had a great time. Unfortunately, my camera battery died and I didn't have the charger so there are no pictures of us camping this time.

Thanksgiving Feast

Today Max's class celebrated Thanksgiving with a feast! I tried to get a copy of the feast and post here but apparently I'm not savvy enough so it's listed below this entry. Anyway, they made little costumes, necklaces and hats and made the sweetest hot pad holder with their hand prints on them into a turkey. He is pictured here with Payton and Carter - his two friends at school.

H-H-H-Howdy!

Max studied the letter "H" this week. I picked him today and he and all his classmates were having a rodeo on their horses. So cute.

Blue Bell Creamery

Max and I met Todd's sister Lori in Brenham today for an outing. We stopped at the Blue Bell Creamery, took the tour and topped our afternoon off with a cup of ice cream! Max talked about chocolate all through the drive there and all during the tour so of course he had his cup of chocolate ice cream. There were no cameras allowed during the tour so we couldn't take any until we were through but we learned a lot about ice cream. Country Vanilla is still the number 1 seller at Blue Bell and it's the ONLY flavor produced every single day. Today there were making mint chocolate chip and some wonderfully yummy flavor (that I only looked at) that had vanilla, fudge and chocolate peanut butter chips in...oh I was Jonesing for a bite but steered clear and stuck with the no-sugar added chocolate. Still tasty...It was a fun day! Thanks Aunt Lori!!
