Christmas At the Silos

December 4, 2017

4 Dec

We spent our weekend with a fun little trip to Waco for Christmas at the Silos. We usually take the girls for a Christmas adventure each year which usually includes an annual trip on the Polar Express train but, since tickets were sold out by September (who plans that far ahead?) we changed it up a bit. Let me just say, I LOVE the silos and Zack thought it was pretty awesome. However, Christmas at the Silos is not something I’ll bring my kiddos to again. The lines and wait are just not short enough for their patience or attention span. Now, if it would have just been Zack and I, I think it would have been a lot less stressful and something we agreed to visit again with just the two of us. We only had time to do the silos thing and not visit more quirky spots in Waco, which is also something we love to do. Regardless, we still made the most out of it and the girls got to check off seeing Santa for this year. Which by the way, he was super legit.I went to the Silos earlier in the Spring but there is just something about all of the Christmas decor that was extra magical. I loved all of the lights and holiday touches they added everywhere you walked. We were able to park right by the silos in the Church lot which was well worth the $10. As soon as we got there we did our shopping and I was able to get several of my Christmas gifts out of the way. I scored a really pretty pom blanket for my mom that she’s been wanting, some home decor for my Grand, and a few stocking stuffers. I found a fun project book for Paisley since she loves to create and “invent” things. I’ll try to share it on instagram soon! The girls also picked out a couple of ornaments to go on the tree. We have fun adding a few each year.
We made it in time to go in the Silos Baking Co. We loved our sweet treats! Cookies milk was a must.We waited about an hour for Santa but he was worth it. You were able to just snap your own pictures which was nice and kept the line moving. He was the real deal and super sweet. Paisley of course loved it, Scout-not so sure. We tried a Bar-b-cue truck for dinner and got to listen to Phil Wickham and Shane & Shane. I’ve always been a fan of their music. There were SO many people. Like I said, probably a one time trip for us for THIS event but we will be back on a normal day.They had a super cute station where the kids could get their faces painted, make ornaments, get a bag of reindeer food, as well as a really good hot chocolate station. I loved that part.We had a good time and made memories. Stressful and a lot of work for these girls but I think they enjoyed most of it. I can’t wait to go back during a slower time and take it all in. As always, their customer service was amazing. Like Chic-fil-a amazing. We like the idea of doing something different each year and would love suggestions on some other trips and events to try that are kid friendly.

Tis the season. It’s my favorite time of the year.

25

February 12, 2017

12 Feb

It’s my birthday. The 25th year. All at once it doesn’t seem that long but my old soul is saying only 25? That’s a good thing right? ;) Last night Zack took me on a date to The Plant Shoppe {cactus are my love language} and dinner at once of our favorite spots, Cattlemans. We got to just be us for the night, jam out in the car like we used to, and laughed a little too hard at the restaurant. Love him so much and had a great time on our date. He is on shift today but these girls sure made their mom feel loved. A special Strawberry cake made for my birthday topped with as many candles they could find 😂with a home cooked lunch (from Moemoe) handmade cards that were the sweetest, wrapped presents (a coloring book and trophy) and Paisley even went to the trouble of blowing up balloons for me. After lunch we went fishing and finished her Valentine box project for school.I don’t know how I got so lucky but I’m so thankful God blessed me with these thoughtful, precious girls. It really is the little things that mean the most. Can’t wait to frame my card and hang it up. I love you both beyond measure! What a blessed birthday and memories I’ll cherish forever. I think 25 will be the best yet and I’m so thankful for another year.

Anniversary Weekend

December 19, 2016

19 Dec

We spent our 5 year anniversary tucked away in the woods. It was the most relaxing get away we’ve ever had and definitely our favorite anniversary trip thus far. We booked this gorgeous cabin for a two night stay in Broken Bow.It was absolutely gorgeous and cozy. They literally thought of everything from cooking utensils, board games, extra blankets, soap, laundry detergent, etc. I loved that they decorate the cabins for Christmas too. They had a journal in the living room area where guests would sign and talk about their stay. So neat to see where everyone came from. We grabbed groceries on our way down and brought steaks to grill for our Anniversary dinner. For lunch, we went to The Grateful Head Pizza and it was amazing and such a unique atmosphere. We toured Hochatown and I really wanted to bring this guy back with us for a front porch greeter. We spent most of our time watching movies by the fire, in the hot tub when it was 15 degrees outside, and just enjoying each others company. Zack made us a fire on our first night so we could have smores.I can’t wait to go back. It was nice to get a way  from everything and just get back to us. We talked about how much life we’ve gone through over the last 5 years and where we wanted to be or try to accomplish over the next 5-10-and 20. I’m so thankful for my husband and best friend. He makes this life so sweet and blesses me more than I can say. Thank you for this trip, babe. You love me so well and I’m constantly amazed at how God has written this love story. Love you to Heaven.
