Our Trip to Texas

Last week I was off for a week for spring break!  Michael was able to get some vacation time so we planned a trip down to Allen, Texas to visit my brother, Scott and his family.  Olivia was so excited to visit her cousins!
On the way down we stopped at McDonald's for a quick breakfast.  Olivia was in tears because she didn't want to go to McDonald's, she wanted to go to Texas! It was really so cute!  We made great time and arrived at the Texas Teson's house in time for dinner!  We had such a fun few days hanging out, playing games, going out to eat, shopping and going to the park.  Allen, Texas is such a neat area and we really enjoyed our time with Scott, Suzanne and the boys!  It was so cute how sweet the boys were with Olivia.  She was in heaven! Patrick, Luke and Joe treated her like their little princess, arguing over who got to sit by her at dinner, hold her hand, and read to her! They even let her sleep with their pillow pets! Andrew let Olivia sleep in his room for three nights and she was so excited!  We had such a wonderful time!  It's been 12 years since I've lived in the same city as my big brother and I miss him dearly!  I loved every minute of our visit to Allen! Thanks Texas Teson's! We love you all!
 The last hour of our drive to Texas was a little rough on Johnny! Poor little guy wanted out!!


 Olivia loves baby Peter!

Happy Birthday Papa!

Today is Michael's dad's birthday!  We are so blessed to have a great father, father-in-law and Papa!!! Johnny and Olivia love their Papa and have such a neat relationship with him! Olivia tells us all the time that she is "Papa's pumpkin pie" and Johnny could sit on Papa's lap and read a book or play with a ball all day! We love you Papa! Hope your day was great!!
