Let's Go to the Movies

I took Braden and Avery to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Neither one had been to a movie theater before...I know horrible mom. Both of them did really good. We went to a movie theater around the corner from mom and dad's house but got there 10 minutes before the movie started. By the time we got our tickets and walked into the theater, there were only the entire front row and 2 seats here and there throughout the theater open. I was not going to watch it from the front row and I was not about to split up my 2 year old and 5 year old. I talked to the manager and explained to him the problem and he said he would refund our money. Once we got done with the transaction, he apologized and gave me 6 free tickets to our next movie at this location...BONUS!!!! We located another theater in Colleyville that had a showing at 3:30, this gave us plenty of time to eat and get there early.

We took the kids to McAlister Deli and enjoyed a great lunch with my sister and her 2 girls. Once we got done we headed to the theater. We were the second people in line to this showing. I am glad we got there when we did, the line wrapped around the corner of the hallway. We got GREAT seats all together. The first theater and this theater that we went to have theater seating and restaurant style seating inside the actual theater. It was super cool. Since we had already ate, we enjoyed the theater seats. It was so cool...you never had to get up and get a drink, popcorn or candy. They even had actual food. Each seat had a red button you would push if you needed something. I think we need one of these in Owasso.

The kid's first movie was a huge success. Avery and Braden really enjoyed it. When the Chipettes were singing "All the Single Ladies" Avery stood up in her chair and started shaking her booty. One point in the movie Dave calls out to Alvin...
A L V I N! It got quiet and then Avery tells me..."Mom he just said...A L V I N!!!" as loud as she could. It was cute!!! Aaron hung out with friends in Southlake, so he will have to join us on our next movie outting.

Texas here we come!!!

We finally made it to Texas today...YAY! Mom and Dad had our Christmas dinner ready for us when we got here. We enjoyed catching up with them and my sister's family and then off to open presents from Nana and Grandpa. The kids got really spoiled. Braden received a lot of Star Wars stuff and Avery got bling bling, princess stuff, "A" Justice purse and more girly stuff. We have a really large extended family here in Texas. There were tons of presents left for the kids from all of them as well. We sent Santa an email this letting him know that it needed to be a light year due to our living arrangements...apparently we forgot to give the same memo to the grandparents.

We will be spending the entire week here in Texas. We do not have much planned yet other than going to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. We have yet to take our kids to the movie theatre...is that bad???

I hear Oklahoma will be getting snow again possibly tomorrow...so sorry we are going to miss it...NOT! Loved the snow but I am ready for it to clear up so we can enjoy the fort (headquarters) and the playhouse in the backyard.

Below are 2 of my favorite snow pictures from this weekend.

New to the Blog World

I have a friend that blogs and have been following hers for several months. I thought I would give it a try. It is a great way for my family back in Texas to keep up to date with what is going on in our lives in Oklahoma. Thanks to Kristi for getting me all set-up. I hope I can operate this correctly.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and Best Wishes in the New Year!!!
