This blog is a compilation of lots of events beginning with Thanksgiving and ending with my return from Europe and decorating the Christmas tree at Rob's house. It has been a fast two weeks filled with family, travel and preparations for Christmas. The following is what happened:
Thanksgiving was at Suzanne and Rob's home. Suzanne worked very hard preparing a lovely dinner that all of us enjoyed. Roger and I are grateful for our family. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday!
The day after Thanksgiving, I left for a Rhine River cruise with my mother. We arrived in Basel, Switzerland and took a bus to our port in Breibach, Germany. This was my first river cruise with a smaller boat compared to a larger cruise ship. Because the boat is so small, it is easy to get to know other passengers on the cruise as well as the staff. We cruised through France, Germany, the Netherlands and finally ended the trip in Amsterdam. The following are just a few of the pictures I took along the way.

| Kathe Wohlfahrts was the place to buy the beautiful Christmas ornaments. |
The day after returning to the United States, we went to Suzanne and Rob's to decorate their Christmas tree. Nothing says Christmas like Spiderman hanging ornaments on the tree. You will see what I mean with the following pictures:

| After the tree is finished, tickles with Grandad. What a thrill it is to be in Dallas for the Christmas season. It truly is magical when seen through the eyes of your grandchildren! We are in the Dallas area until the 15th, so look for more adventures next Saturday. Thank you for your interest in our blog. See you next Saturday! |
Hooray! You are back in the US. So glad you and Roger are getting to spend time with your grandchildren. Love the Spiderman costume. There is a little boy in our neighborhood who alternates between a fireman's or police man's outfit when he goes for walks with his parents. Too cute.
