Jerry World–AKA–The Dallas Cowboys Stadium

For Father’s Day, yes that long ago, I got Jeremy a VIP tour of the Cowboy’s Stadium.

We waited until the last minute – surprise, surprise – to use the tickets.  Which happened to be Monday.  The place is HUGE.  Seriously, H.U.G.E.

When we showed up, everyone else in the metroplex thought this day was a good day to do the tour, too.  The VIP tour was sold out until Thursday!!  But we could do a self-guided tour.  We both actually preferred the self-guided.  We could spend as much time at each place as we wanted and we saw all the things the VIP tour saw (except a suite).  It was also nice because they had all these people stationed at different areas and those people told us a lot…. plus offered to take pictures

Jeremy was in awe the whole time.  He loved it!

The infamous huge screens.

This is where the Cowboys run onto the field.

Jimmy, can’t have a tour without Jimmy.  I LOVE Jimmy

I had to stand in front of Romo and Wittens’ lockers, hee hee.

The cheerleader’s locker room – I really would not want a picture of myself blown up to that size, I’m just sayin’.

One last picture… amazing!  We plan to bring the boys back in a year or two.  I think they would have so much fun running around on the field!

Log Cabins

When we visit Mamaw and Papaw, we also love visiting Dale, the dog. 

Mamaw and Papaw also got us Lincoln Logs for Christmas.  The boys could not wait to get the logs out and build something.

Of course with A LOT of Daddy’s help, we built some very cool buildings.

 

While Daddy worked on Mason’s, Hagen patiently worked on his own.

Mason checking out the directions with Daddy, making sure he was doing it right.

He was so excited as it was being completed!

The ever so patient (for the most part) Hagen, ready for Daddy to get started on his building.

This architect thing is tiring

So happy Hagen

Christmas Morning

Actually, the night before… we left out the cookies for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer.  Hagen wanted to eat the cookies, not leave them for Santa. 

If you remember from last year, after all the hype about Santa, Hagen did not want Santa to visit.  I don’t blame him, thinking about some big guy visiting him while he sleeps can sound scary.  Hagen showed a little of that before he went to bed, but he was so tired from all the day’s festivities, he was asleep pretty quickly.

Here are the cookies.

After Santa came – here is everything set out.

Santa ate the cookies and he must have given the carrots to the reindeer because they were all gone.  Only some crumbs remained.  He even left a note

Last year we wanted to see their faces when they first came out of their bedroom and saw their gifts… this year we hid the bikes in the teepee and hoped they would be so sleepy, they would come straight to our room.  And… they did   It was so nice being able to sleep in a little.  Once both of them got to our room, we took them into the living room.  The first thing they noticed was the Hot Wheels Garage.  They immediately wanted to play with it, so I told them to check their stocking. 

When they went to check their stockings, they discovered their Sing-a-ma-jigs.  So funny, they thought they were hilarious. 

After our distraction, we remember our Hot Wheels garage and went back to play with that.

Then we pointed out the teepee and told them to see what was inside of it!  So fun!!  They were so excited when they saw the bikes!!
