Happy New Year's Houston Style

We had a great time in California, and then went to spend a few days with good friends in Houston.  Martin was Nick's roommate.  Martin and Sarah have two wonderful kids, Sebastian and Luciana (Seb and Luci).  Sam had a blast playing and we did even more fun things.

Here are Seb and Sam putting our Christmas card on the fridge.


Here is where we went bowling. 


Sam and Luci drawing on the floor.


We went to Rainforest Cafe, which was a hit with all the kids.


Here is Princess Sam with a foam light saber.  Seb loves Star Wars stuff.  I think Sam was using it like a hose because she sometimes pretends we are on fire and sprays us.  And she was making a water type sound.  She enjoyed it though.


Again, the whooshing water sound versus a light saber sound.  Pretty funny.


We also went to the children's museum, which is amazing but was very crowded.  Sam was in the last few weeks of being able to play in the infant/toddler area.  She was probably the biggest kid there, but she loved the mini ball pit.


Seb was too old for the toddler area.  So Nick climbed with him in this play structure.  It said adults were welcome to climb, but Nick said he had trouble squeezing through some areas.  Good thing it is not in Huntington :)


We flew back to Atlanta on New Years Eve, but we decided to celebrate a night early.  We shot off some quite fire works (sparkler cones and bottle rockets), which Sam and Seb loved.  Sarah also had these great hats.


We also decided we needed a picture of everyone.  This is how Nick tested the auto feature on our camera.


Here we all are. 

The last day Sam loved playing with this bike game.  She was not good at it, pedaling the wrind way a lot, but she enjoyed herself.


Sam wishes all our faithful readers a wonderful 2011!  I know ours will be busy and full of blessings.  May the new year bring everyone laughter and joy.
