HockaDONE!

August 2011, first day at boarding school.  She was so excited to start her new adventure.  I can't believe we let her do this.  It was so hard on us, to not see her everyday, be at her school for every little celebration or event.  But here we are three years later and we did it!  We ALL did it!! As they say at Hockaday we are HOCKADONE!!! Shelby wore the traditional white dress that all the Hockaday Seniors wear for graduation.  The dress is voted on by all seniors and a fashion show with models of all sizes showcasing the dress. In the years past the seniors would wear white hats with flowers and carry a flower basket.  However being the centennial year the girls reverted to the original hats of pastel colors.  Shelby chose yellow, my favorite color on her. The ceremony was outside and very humid....look at me glisten and let's not mention my hair.  uhg! Hockaday has century old traditions that are truly southern....

Kitchen Desk Make Over

December Happenings part 1

Our annual Christmas Party with the lovely ladies I volunteer with at Cypress-Woodlands Junior Forum, on December 8th.  The venue was a new one for us at the Wild Stallions Winery in Spring. Beautiful location and the food was the best in all the years I have attended.  Wearing my Christmas skirt I bought on Ebay last year and had to take it to the tailors for resizing.  I received a lot of compliments on it that night. December 12 we spent the evening in the Heights enjoying the lights.  First time we walked the area and had a great time. Streets are closed off and many private house parties are going on with live music on the front porches and balconies.  Port-a-potties, wine wagons, and many fun yard decorations. While we enjoyed the Christmas festivities in Houston our lovely husbands were in Austin due to the weather.  Needless to say they also had a fun time on 6th street.  They flew home the next morning once the nasty weat...
