Fort Worth Fun!

 

Friday night we celebrated Stephanie's 30th Birthday at Southlake Town Square and ended the night at Cheesecake Factory.   On Saturday we took a trip back to Cook Children's but this time not to get poked or prodded by doctors and nurses.  It was fitting that Abigail meet Santa Clause where she has spent a lot of time in her short life.  Abby did great as she sat in Santa's lap for the first time.  She was very curious and reached up innocently to grab his beard.

Abby is recovering fairly well from her surgery but occasionally has pain issues when sitting up for a while or being held.  They sent us home with a mini do-nut like you get if you break your tailbone for her to use as a cushion.  We take lots of baths to keep her bottom clean and she has a few follow-up doctors visits this week.

Sunday we headed back over to Fort Worth for a Christmas Event at Thistle Hill.  The old home, now a museum, was decorated for Christmas according to the illustrations in the Tasha Tudor version of Twas the Night Before Christmas.  Abby was probably a bit too young for some of the activities but she and Stephanie made a b-line to the petting zoo.  The happiest kid in the pen was the thirty-year-old.  Abby did pretty well until a few goats tried to nip at her hat.  Stephanie just about put the goat in her jacket and snuck him out.

Somehow during all of the craziness this week we managed to get our Christmas tree up and the lights on the house.  We have much to be thankful for this Christmas and we are enjoying sharing this time with our family of three.
