Rain Forest Cafe

Standing at a door that wasn't the main entrance...

Here it is and the Tootles were waiting for us. The girls LOVE their Auntie Jessica.

Ryan loves his Uncle Boo.

Malyn knew when the lights started to flash and the thunder started to rumble she closed her eyes and covered her ears. She said O No the storm is coming.

Mattie Sue loved the flying butterfly.

Auntie Stacy and Mattie Sue loved Samuel.

Nama and her daughters LOVED the volcano of chocolate brownies and ice cream.

The elephant loved us all.

We decided to walk off the volcano we ate devoured in a matter of minutes.

This is just part of the day. We ventured out to the Witte Museum afterwards. Will post later.

How can you not love these precious little girls?

Photo Opt with Malyn and Mattie Sue. We are on our way to eat at the Rain Forest downtown SA. Malyn is so excited and Mattie Sue is all grown up and always ready to be photographed.Malyn is saying O Nama I'm so excited to see the animals in the Rain Forest as she is hugging my arm.

See the difference in how each girl poses for pictures. Malyn is not trying to get away she is adding character to our day downtown picture with Nama and Poppy.

Mattie Sue is the still model and Malyn is modeling for the Flip Camera. Swing to the right. Good job girls.

Then swing to the left. Ta Daaaaa

And now for the final pose of touching the toes and a leg lift.You girls each add a ray of sunshine to our lives.

Love being with Mattie Sue and Malyn but it's always special to spend time one on one with each daughter.

and Beef Bourguignonne.. by Contessa Stacy

Stacy is our offical cook around here during the holidays. We have had beef bourguigonne and chocolate cake, chicken spaghetti by Pioneer Woman and many more delicious meals. Yummy!

the sauce

The final dish. It was melt in your mouth delicious. No left overs from this recipe. There was one secret ingredient that only a very few know about.
