February 6 - Beautiful Winter Day

Hello everyone. It is a beautiful winter day here in Houston. When I say 'winter'...I mean 60 degree weather but it seems chilly after our high 70s/low 80s recent temps. I was out of town last week in Florida so it is great to be home with the family and play with the kids. 


We had a relaxing weekend: gymnastics on Saturday, playdate with Emma Saturday evening and a playdate with Hannah last night. J.D. and Nic watched the game while Tammy and I watched the kids and we all chowed down on some delicious chili. The boys were happy with the final outcome while I was not. You are probably thinking..What?! You are from NY. Don't you route for the Giants? Well, we never watched football in our household growing up (I'm still not sure why exactly, since all of my brothers love football) so I never became of fan of any particular team. And anyone who knows me knows I have a weird aversion to anything relating to the Manning brothers...so, sorry. I almost always route against them, regardless of the opposing team! 

On a completely different topic, I want to talk briefly about the poll about Christmas lights. I was the person who voted "I like both." Throughout the years I'm always shocked at how opinionated people can be about lights. Here are some of the things I heard this season alone.


In relation to colors:
*fun and exciting
*trashy




In relation to white:
*classic and beautiful
*boring and unoriginal


Wow-they are lights. I think they are all beautiful!
