{She Said} Build-A-Bear Then Beat-the-Elephant

Let's go WAY back... In early November, we loaded up and went to the Houston region of Texas to visit family and (ahem) watch Texas A&M annihilate Alabama with Auntie Ryleigh! (of course we were figuring that was goign to go the other way but... GIG 'EM)

Before the big game, we got to visit with my cousins and take Zach for his first trip to Build-a-Bear! On our way to the mall we got rear-ended. That was fun. Good thing we had big things planned afterward! Zach had such an exciting time looking at all the stuffed animals... picking out a penguin and then going through the process of making it his own. He LOVED my clan-o-cousins!

Then, after a quick visit to see Jonathan and Ryleigh's new house, we went back to Matt's parent's house to watch the big game and have some snacks!

Needless to say- the Fightin' Texas Aggies had a well fought and deserved win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Way to go Ags!

Zach also got some craft time in with Nana... he's a natural.

He ran around at the bottom of the pond...

Played horseshoes...

And generally had a grand ole' time!
