More Bits and Pieces!!!

Ali had a late night party until midnight at the dance studio for her competition team this past Saturday so Jon and I had a date night. Mind you our dates normally end with us asleep no later than 9 p.m. (babysitter loves this so she can still go out) and we didn't know what we were going to do until midnight and if we could even stay awake. Therefore, my hubby made us reservations and my favorite steakhouse in Galveston. So we drove down and had a great time at the San Luis Steakhouse. One BIG glitch, my favorite places to eat are based on bread and dessert, well they did not have my favorite dessert any longer. BIG BIG BUMMER! I pouted for a while. It was the white chocolate eruption, wonderful, I had the dark chocolate eruption but didn't even like it that much. Guess we don't have to drive down to the big G any longer to eat at the Steak House!

After gorging ourselves, we went to Moody Gardens and walked through the festival of lights. It was really nice, the evening was low 70's, so the weather was wonderful and it was nice and even Jon had to admit a bit romantic. Since we didn't know what to do with this new found romance we packed it up and headed back to pick up Alison at the dance studio. With all of this we were still there by 11:30 and she was less than thrilled with the early pick up time, oh well!

On Sunday, Jon and I went to the Texans game, this is more our speed in the romance department. Had a great time and they actually WON! Woohoo! Maybe we will pay for the season tickets for next year after all.... gets harder and harder every year to fork over the moola. Alison went to yet another activity and saw the Nutcracker Ballet with her Brownie Troop and loved it. Right now she is at yet another Christmas party for the said Brownie troop. We had to provide gifts for her secret pal this last week and she loved getting all the goodies all week herself. Today is the big "reveal" so she is excited because she is confident she figured hers out (and she did)! Better scoot to fix dinner for the munchkins before Austin has to leave for basketball practice (that is a story for another time).
