University of Texas
We are resumed our Texas college campus visits. Latest stop, University of Texas @ Austin. 
This is Blake's personal favorite! As we were loading up the car he said to me, "J, you do realize I'm going to be spending a lot of money on clothes this trip...right?" For a 'jeans and t-shirt kinda guy,' I guess he can splurge every once in a while...even if that consists of $60 basketball shorts and a $75 sweatshirt and a $15 mug. Luckily, he skipped the golf shirt and hat sections.

Luckily, he skipped the golf shirt and hat sections.We toured the campus and did a lousy job of taking pictures, but managed to get a photo op in front of the clock tower.
Here is Ray posing at just the right angle by a statue of GW near the 'six pack' of buildings.
And one of Sammie playing with these...
still don't know what they are, but the plague clearly stated, "no playing or photography."Oops.
I'll NEVER allow this...
...so I once thought.I clearly remember thinking that I'll never let my kids put stickers all over the house (on doors, cabinets, walls...anywhere!) But, as I watched Sammie put these on one by one, by one, by one...I couldn't help but want to see them all day.

More Christmas Fun
Gingerbread Houses
We went to Randall's to build & decorate Sam's gingerbread house. As you can imagine, Sam did more eating than decorating.
"My Turn!"
In the words of Sammie, "mmm-nummy!"
Walk to Bethlehem
Grace Christian Church hosts a live nativity and guided "walk" to Bethlehem. Sam loved the goats and the singing angels.
Joy to the World
Last minute shopping at Katy Mills Mall should always include a quick merry-go-round ride!
Light Sight-Seeing at Pecan Grove
If you haven't been, you need to go...Richmond, TX
Santa Story-time
La Centerra's Christmas story-time with Santa Claus. Sam really warmed up to Santa this year...I think it only took her 2 sitings to not be scared.
She doesn't freak out being on Santa's lap, but I wouldn't say she enjoys it either. She is just there. No eye contact. No talking. Just. There.
