This past weekend we went to Austin to attend the House of Representatives Christmas Tree lighting for legislative families. We had a BLAST!! The kids looked adorable in their fancy clothes and acted like they were grown! Thomas wore his first suit and looked so handsome. He loves visiting the capitol (wonder where he gets that??). He looks like a little Junior State Representative!!
Dad had been a freshman orientation the week prior. He had drawn for his place in the freshman class and they had chosen desks and offices. Here is dad in his new desk on the floor of the House chamber!
The program was about an hour long and featured different choirs and speakers. Grace was very good, but all that sitting still made her a little sleepy!
Mandy slept through most of the program and only woke up toward the end. When she got restless I let her watch "Dora" on my iPod!
After the Christmas party, Sue and Allan came and picked up the kids and we went across the street to the Governor's Mansion!!! 
All in all...a VERY cool day!
Blessings,
Leslie
