Rounding out the trip...

Our last few days in Texas were definitely fun filled!

The Saturday after Christmas we all took our turn getting our profile made on the Wii fit...apparently I'm the right weight but my balancing skills are sub par as it aged me at 40 years old and it aged Jason at 42...wow!

We all decided it was time to kick it in gear and do a little exercise after the eatathon that had occurred for the previous few days (or weeks in my case)!
CJ made a good attempt at yoga and look who wanted to be just like her Bubba!

Gaby and Riley did a step class together!
Riley actually scored better than CJ on the step class..the girl has rhythm!
Saturday afternoon we all headed out to the quaint German town of Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country!

The streets were all lit up and it was magical!

Riley decided she wanted to ride in style on her Daddy's shoulders!
Family pic...
We all perused the shops at our own pace and even found a great shop with all kinds of fun dips to taste...appetizer time!
After we did a little strolling we had a great dinner at a brewery / restaurant!
Riley thought she'd provide a little before dinner entertainment for all of us!
Dinner was just another way of celebrating these two girls birthdays...DiDi and Riley!
The birthday girls...this is Riley's new "fake" smile!
Sunday we had to say goodbye to Jason's family and that was not fun...we sure had a great time with everyone and miss them!
Monday Riley got to wear her new Aggie tutu and she showed strong support for the Aggies but they pretty much stunk.
Getting to watch Riley bounce around in her tutu was way more fun than watching the game!

Tuesday we headed to San Antonio for the day to catch up with some family and friends!
We ran through Panera while Riley was sleeping and it was perfect timing...I got to have an unplanned visit with my friend Nicole who I hadn't seen in way too long and she just happened to be having lunch at Panera...yay for that!
We then headed to Uncle Jan and Aunt Diane's house to spend some time with them!
Here's the guys checking out the house plans for the new house they are building...we can't wait to see it!
Diane did a superb job of entertaining Riley...she let her ride in one of Uncle Jan's other chairs and it just made her day...and kept her out of trouble!
We had a great time catching up and just love them to pieces!
After our visit we hit the stores returning items and such and it was so weird...it seemed like every store I went into I ran into someone I know...San Antonio is HUGE and the probability of that is crazy but it happened...perhaps God's way of reminding me I was home!
We met up with a bunch of our high school friends for one last Alamo Cafe fix and it was so great to see everyone...I didn't take any pics which is unfortunate...there were several other kiddos and one on the way...how time flies since 2010 will mark Jason's 10th high school anniversary...that sure makes him sound hold...maybe he is 42...ha!
We had fun and we'll be back soon!
