It felt kindof like Christmas at the Allsop's this last week. Well, I guess I should first start off by saying a few weeks ago I purchased an XBOX 360 for Michael for Christmas. Well, he came home and saw it before it was 'hidden' and we all know there was no way he was going to 'forget'. There goes the 'surprise' factor for christmas yet again. (note to self . . . get better at hidding presents before we decide to have children) We got to talking and I wanted to get a game that I would enjoy playing as well (sports and war games not really my thing) and we decided to look into RockBand. That being said we knew Melissa and Chad were coming to visit and we thought we could play with them too- we originally were just going to rent it but that apparently isn't an option. SO. . . . we decided to get it early, and I'm glad we did. It is SOOOO much fun! We had a blast rocking out!!
Present #2 would be my Sister and her family coming to visit us!!! We have been planning their arrival since before we moved! Melis and Chad are both dental hygenists and they were already planning on coming to San Antonio for a convention- they were able to spend a few extra days here and we are so glad they did! We had an absolute blast and it went by way too fast!! We went to Sea World, Six Flags, Down Town (Alamo, Riverwalk, Ripley's/Wax Museum), went to the Temple, Shopped, I played "mom" for a day or two, we swam, went to a park, went to the Brad Paisley concert Jewel and Chuck Wicks also performed (Julianne Hough was supossed to, stupid dancing with the stars), and ate our weight in BlueBell Ice Cream. . . . and Rudy's BBQ. I for one was sad to see them go. . . . Chase is so fun and we'll miss his cute little face!! Until next time :)

Sounds like you all had a lot of fun. I'm glad that your sister was able to come down to visit. So, can I just say how much I miss you. Everytime I have a hankering to play games who can I play with? No One! Not even my own husband...stupid optometry! Maybe I'll make a solo trip to San Antonio sometime soon to play!
Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas Michael!
I'm sorry we had to miss the concert! But I love the pictures you posted. I wonder if Adam will start begging me for Rock Band now that he's read your blog?
What a fun week!
Russ also received an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and yes it is already opened and been played for the past week. I told him he would be sad on Christmas morning with nothing to open, oh well!
Oh sis-! Christmas was right!! I was looking forward to that trip soooo much I almost didn't want it to come because I knew it'd be over!!! What a great week!!! It doesn't take much to get us laughing!!! give me a week and I'll post my own epistle!!! Love your guts!!
I want to go to San Antonio too!
Remember when I talked to you about making a bag for rock band, you now have no excuse.
