Spicewood for the Holidays

We are back from a week in Spicewood. Unfortunately, both Charlie and I got sick on Christmas Eve and have yet to recover, but we still had a fun week. We made a quick trip into Austin to visit the grandparents (which will be in another post) on Saturday. On Sunday Patrick and I left Charlie with Babo and Pops and had a night to ourselves! We went to a movie (which is something we haven't done since well before Charlie was born) and then we checked into Horseshoe Bay Marriott for the night. Patrick and I haven't been back since we got married there!
The view from the room:(we stayed in a room directly under our honeymoon suite)
Here I am standing in the spot that we got married:

Here are the ribs that Patrick destroyed at dinner: (let's just say they got the best of P at 4am):

A big thanks to Ann and Bob for keeping Charlie for the night!
Patrick came back to Dallas to work on Tuesday and Wednesday. So, Charlie and I just stayed in Spicewood with the Allen's and relaxed. We played inside and out:


For some reason, Charlie decided that he no longer liked baths for the week that we were in Spicewood. Trying to bathe the little man while he is trying to escape the bath is a difficult task. It lead to this: a black eye for Christmas.

This is just one of the many bumps and bruises that he got while down there. He learned to climb the stairs and pulled up on everything... his balance is still not all the way there, so he received many bonks on his head.
On Christmas Eve both Charlie and I started coughing and having some serious congestion and sore throats. Charlie threw up twice on Christmas Day due to congestion and once tonight. We had all been planning on going to the Independence Bowl tomorrow in Shreveport and C and I were going to stay through Wed. Instead, we will both now be going to doctors visits. Apparently, whatever we have requires antibiotics. Patrick is still going to go with some UGA friends, though. Stay tuned.. the next post will be about Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
