About That White Christmas (December 23 - 29)

Dear Family and Friends,

Our last week at Grapevine Lake was spent with family. Christmas Eve began with the children's service at First Methodist in Dallas. It was totally chaotic, but what a great way to teach children about God's great gift to all of us. For the third year, Abby was an angel in the choir. Christmas Eve dinner was followed by opening a few gifts.

 This was easily a production of 50 children. Abby is in the very back row of the choir.


Jackson is opening the coveted Darth Moll.

Abby got the horse to her American Girl Doll, Kaya.

Jackson lives in Star Wars.

On Christmas Day, the Ft. Worth/Dallas area received their first white Christmas that I can remember. The shots below show the fallen snow on December 26th.



Very icy morning!

On Wednesday, December 26, Roger picked up Abby in Dallas, and brought her to the RV to spend the night before we left Grapevine Lake for Abby's first ride in our motorhome. On Thursday we drove to Buckhorn Lake Resort in Kerrville, Texas, where Abby is staying with us until her parents pick her up in a week. She was a great traveler as we drove 6 hours to the Hill Country of Texas.

 Santa brought Abby an Easy Roller which we took with us to Kerrville.


 A quick game of Concentration with Grandad.

We woke up early on the 27th to prepare for our trip to Kerrville. Abby rode in the back of the RV with her Christmas toys.


 Abby takes a turn in the navigator's seat on our trip.

As I mentioned earlier, Abby was the best passenger anyone could have. After arriving, we went to the playground to unwind from the trip.




 The Easy Roller works well at BLR. Here Abby is taking Bear for a trip around the park.



We are enjoying our time with our granddaughter and look forward to the rest of our time with her. Thank you for reading the blog.
Roger, Abby, Bear and I wish all of you a Happy New Year!
