Amarillo Christmas

New Year's weekend we went to Amarillo to celebrate Christmas with my extended family...We had a great time, minus the stomach bug that we all ended up with...not fun...Thankfully the kids were great on the car ride...

Ready to open presents...too cute :)
Brett got a new Aggie jacket...

Amy got some makeup and nail polish...it was a big hit with her and Tyler :)

The work crew putting a new Buzz Lightyear big wheel together...lots of parts :)

The girls...Amy did Auntie's makeup...very lovely :)

Brett thought Tyler was pretty funny...he was laughing so hard...

Sweet little Ryan...

Tyler and Amy went to the movies with Uncle Jerry, Auntie and Kent...here they are watching the preview before they went...they had fun at the movie...until Amy's stomach bug kicked in...yikes...

Daddy teaching Brett how to watch bowl games :)

First Zoo Trip of 2011

Saturday was beautiful and we had to "go into town" for a birthday party, so we decided to check out the zoo first...they opened a new African exhibit and it was awesome! We were also there in time to feed the giraffes...it was awesome!
Amy playing the drums, while Brett chills a little...

On to the giraffes...they have a platform, so they can reach you...it was so cool! Amy loved it...Brett was frozen, pretty sure he was thinking they were really big dogs :)

Loving it!

So cool to be so close to them...

Of course when we finished Amy turned around and said "Yea, now we can ride the carousel"...more excited about it than the giraffes...It was Brett's first time to ride an up and down animal and he liked it okay...Amy loved both trips on the zebra she took :)

Sunday was a rainy day, so we played inside all day...she got a new doll with a sling for Christmas, so she was carrying them all in it and feeding them...it was too cute...I had to hold them all after they ate to take their naps...

Brett playing in the saucer...

Amy is liking the "little" bike better now...she got a bell for it, which may be a bad idea...hands should stay on the handle bars :)

Watch out Roxy...
