About That Christmas Stuff (December 4 - 10)

Dear Family and Friends,

Howdy from Texas, ya'll!

I am hoping that this blog finds you embracing the spirit of the holiday season and not totally stressed out! Being around our grandchildren at Christmas time adds a certain sparkle when looking at the season through their eyes.

The following pictures are of Jackson's Christmas presentation at the day care center where he is in his next to the last year of school and where Abby is now an alum. Jackson wowed us with his stage presence at the performance and although you cannot possibly have the experience that we had, maybe a picture of him in his elf costume will bring a smile to you face.

Saturday morning was Karate School! We got to see both Abby and Jackson in action. The following are pictures from this once in a lifetime experience.

After Karate class we went out for breakfast before returning to Abby and Jackson's house to open Christmas presents from Mimi and Grandad. Yes, Mimi and Grandad were thrilled that our grandchildren's parents let them open our gifts that morning.

Jackson is wondering what his present could be.

Roger and I had a wonderful week with our family in Ft. Worth and Dallas. We treasured the moments because sadly, we have to leave for Kerrville, Texas on Thursday. Our visit in the North Texas area has gone quickly. It has been great to spend so much time here.


Thank you for reading our blog and following our adventures on the road. We appreciate your interest in our travels. Thank you especially for allowing me to rave about our intelligent, beautiful grandchildren. Until next Saturday, "see ya pardner!"
