Saturday morning Isaac and I packed up and left for Aunt Susan’s house all the way up in The Colony, near Dallas. We left around 6am and wonderfully ran into zero traffic. We beat my parents there!
I had only been to Aunt Susan’s house once, several years ago so I thought it would be difficult to find the house given the directions and my iphone’s drunken gps coordinates. Luckily my cousin Michelle was kind enough to drive her new car making it incredibly obvious which house it was. 
Isaac and his Nana got to drive around the block in it and had way too much fun!
Now, the cool thing was that the day before the entire Dallas/FortWorth area had been hit with this freakish snow and spots of it were still left in the shade! Isaac got to play in what was left over and he somehow knew what it was! (Horray daycare!)
After we arrived we all sat down to lunch and yes MORE HAM! It’s like they know me or something. Susan’s ham was roasted with flavors so it had a different flavor and texture than our classic ham the day before but still really really good. She even set aside some potatoes for me so I could have sides
That night we left Dallas and drove all the way to Mineola. We got about to Mckinney when my parents wanted to stop for non-ham dinner. Becca knew of some Mexican food place downtown so we gave it a shot.
Since I was travelling I ate safely and just ordered a side of rice (wasn’t that hungry after all the food I had all day) The one issue we had with all the food was the heat of the hot sauce. We each had about one or two bites and thats all we could stand. But they also cooked the food with it, so EVERYTHING you got was thermo-nuclear. Which is good if you wanna sell margaritas to folks but not to ppl who want to sit and eat something lol.
So were driving back and about 10 miles away from Mineola me and Joanna spot this cop on the side of the road with his lights off. We pass him (following dad who is driving 59 mph) and notice he puts the car into drive and turns around (he was on the left facing the other traffic). Then sure enough about two or three minutes later we see a car come up on us really fast and the red and blue lights kick in. Great…. Turns out my license plate lights were both out. Good thing was I just got a warning and the cop was really nice about everything. The funny part was my parents didn’t realize we weren’t behind them until they nearly got to the house! HAHA. So the next morning I got up relativley early and ran to O’rileys and picked up some bulbs. Sure enough both were totally blown. Easiest car repair … ever.
Once we all got back to the house we opened presents! Look at all the fun stuff Isaac got: He now has is very own suitcase for traveling to grandparents houses, new clothes and toys and his very own little card table and chairs!
Here is everything my parents got me: More 10-12 inch pans! (cant have too many of those!) dvds, Forza3, gummies, a vegan cookbook for baking, and a holder for our K-Cups!
The next day, after fixing my lights, I ran the car through the carwash downtown and filled it up with gas before leavin’. Went by mawmaw’s house and visited with Kristen and her kids.
Isaac had fun playing toys with his cousins, before leaving we were getting hungry so I opted for EDIBLE Meixcan food, plus I was in Mineola for more than 4 hours it’s a law you must eat at Two Senoritas:
After lunch I finished packing and headed back to Austin on my own. Isaac is still up there with his Nana and Papa having a good o’l time!
