The LaPrade Lifestyle

Last week Mom and I took Parker to the shops in Allen to see Santa!
They had everything decorated for Christmas already!
There was a gorgeous tree decorated with lights that changed
colors every five minutes! Parker loved being outside and
seeing all the little kids seeing Santa!

Mom and Parker! After we saw Santa we walked over to
Moo-ya burgers and had great burgers outside!
Parker was treated to a few fries from Mom.
He begged for every little fry she would give him.
He slept like a puppy that night!

The huge tree!

Parker and Santa! He loved seeing Santa and Santa loved seeing a
cute little dog! He gave him a big hug before we left and we had a great time!

On Saturday night I worked until 9pm and was craving Cheesecake...so we went out to Cheesecake Factory! When I got home Ross was passed out on the couch with Parker. I had to wake them both to get ready for our little late night adventure! Ross is not a big fan of cheesecake but he was excited to get to spend quality time with his wife!
Ross and I enjoyed out late night date talking and eating amazing cheesecake!
It's great to spend time together before it gets wild and crazy with black friday
only a few days away now! Here are some fun pics I took of our evening!

Ross was not ready to have his photo taken but he was a very sweet date!Our amazing Reese's cheesecake...all gone! :)

We were being cheesy and took a self photo of us in our little booth!

A few weeks ago Ross and I went rock climbing in Carollton at a place called Exposure! Ross planned the day and we both had a blast! I am afraid of heights so it was a rocky start for me!! haha! Once I got the hang of it I was doing great and going to the top every time! Here are some pics from our fun adventure that day!

Most the the rock walls have harnesses that you attach to for safety and then on the other side of the place there was an area of rock wall that you could do a free climb without a harness. We did not go very far up but it was still fun to see what we could do! I was really nervous about not being attached to something in case I fell but there was a huge landing pad beneath us in case anything happened!

Recently I have been a little obsessed with cupcakes!! They are so cute and delicious! Ross and I went to The Cupcakery a few weeks ago in Frisco and had a great time! Ever since I have looked up cupcake places in Dallas and all around to have the little bite of sweetness!! I wish I could have one every day but I think I would have to start running about 10 miles a day!
I thought the holiday cupcakes are so cute!
I am not very skilled at decorating the tops but maybe
someday I will develop that creative skill!
These are something Ross would love!

This is super cute! I saw this at bed, bath, and beyond the other day and thought how fun...Ross said we are not shopping for you today so it stayed at bed bath and beyond. But how cute is it that you can make a giant cupcake and decorate it any way you like!! Any holiday style, any flavor, and it's big enough to share with everyone!! Well, that's if you like to share! haha!
mmmm now I am craving a little cupcake...I will have to start baking something up today!

A little wish list that I have started began with these two items! A jewelry box this one is from pottery barn and can be engraved with my initials!! umm love it! And the garmin below for running of course! It tells you how many calories you have burned, how far you have gone, time, heart rate and so much more...oh how i would love to use one of these on my runs!!
