From Fall to Winter: All the fun things

This is my favorite time of year for a few reasons:

1. Lot's of family birthday's
2. Football championships
3. Leaves turning fiery red (even if only slightly here in Texas)
4. Cold weather (thanks to birth control- who knew hormones had a play in what kind of whether you preferred?)
4. Reading by the fire
5. And celebrating Jesus during the Christmas season!

One random thing:

Did anyone know that this is an actual line in Little Drummer Boy-
"The ox and lamb kept time, par-rum-pa-pum-pum."
Weird. Kind of Narnia-ish.

Even after noticing that odd line it's still up there in my top Christmas songs. I love the picture of the little boy playing his heart out, his Very Best (which may or may not have actually been that good) out of love for Jesus.

Anyway, here are some 'Fall to Winter' pics:

Jerry acting very adult and intellectual in the coffee area of the DMA- one of my favorite places to wander.

What's fun is to notice my taste change and change again through the years as different areas in the museum become more or less appealing.

After this we went to my All Time Favorite restaurant, Kenichi. If you go please order the 'Blake' roll and the 'Baked Freddy'. You will die on the spot it's so good. And if you don't, you will definitely die when you get your check.


And everybody loves free birthday desert- especially if it's fried ice-cream (I didn't know we were at the fair).

Sorry for the black and white- i don't even know how that happened- but you needed to see the ice-cream

Another HUGE day of note is when we bought our first Christmas tree! We went to a cute little tree farm and looked for trees. It turns out that the trees at the tree farm were 3 times more expensive, for no visible reason, than the ones at the Neimans/Walmart. So we went back there instead!

Only thing is that at Neimans you can't tell what they look like cause they are all bound up.

But i think we got a good one! It's so pretty!
Yea Christmas!

You're so fun and witty Lauren! You always have fun little puns in your posts and I love them... yay for your christmas tree! and what was that about birth control affecting your weather preference? Is that for real? Because I am noticing that I am loving the fall/winter WAY more than ever before!

my favorite tradition growing up was us getting a christmas tree at a christmas tree farm every year. my dad would shove us into them face-first and then run away.
