This Is Us

So on Monday Dieter and Colleen took us to the Texas Road House for dinner. In the sitting area, where you can wait while they get your table ready, they have a saddle on a "horse". The kids climbed up on it and had so much fun. Here are the pictures: Yeah, he's a ham! :) Xander climbed behind Brichette, but I made them switch because I was afraid that he would get "bucked off". I know my silly mommy worries. They are the cutest sister and brother in the whole world! Boy look at Brichette's modeling skills in the last picture.

I didn't ask how they got up there, got the swing wrapped around the bar, or how any of them got down. I didn't get a phone call that they were hurt or had to be taken to the hospital, and when I got home no one said anyth...
