Oh My...

My brother in law called and said there was a big HUGE box over to Mom and Dad's and wanted to know if I was expecting something. I said No, not until next week. The Dallas Cowboy store has been having Daily deals and I saw these last Sunday evening...A Childs Dinner set with the Dallas Cowboy emblem for $4.99...WoW! I figured I could get the 7 grandkids each one and then Michael too for that price! So I ordered them and honestly did not think they'd make it here before Christmas...Yea, Love the Dallas Cowboy store! And the Grandkids get another gift from Grandpa and Grandma. It's so darn expensive to buy for 7 grandbabies so we just get them each one gift...so I was excited they get another gift from us.
I gave Michael's to him today and he loved it!

Ho Ho Ho...

Michael wanted to go outside and play...But he didn't want to play by himself. So he gave Grammy a gun and off they went...Not sure what they were hunting, Goblins? Monsters? Who knows but they seemed to have had a good time.
The Temperature today was 76 F., sure doesn't feel like Christmas.
I've got all my baking done, the gifts are wrapped and under the tree and I'm ready to enjoy Christmas...Can't wait for the candle light service at Church tomorrow night!

New Perch...

I went outside this morning and found Lydia perched on the stock trailer...

I was never a cat person but in the past several years I've found cats to be very entertaining...Lydia spends her mornings bird watching and it looks like she found a great spot for it, a full view of the yard.

Today with the Ladies and kiddos!

I invited the library ladies and kids over for lunch to welcome Mom to Texas for her winter reprieve...We had a full house but the weather was gorgeous and the kids spent most of the day outside playing...

Helen got a new camera, WooHoo!
~

We have Trina, Penny, Helen, Shirley and Gerri.
Missing are Shelly and Sabra they weren't able to make it today!
After lunch we decided to follow the kids down to the Oak trees and see what they were up too!
~

Walk'in, Walk'in and more Walk'in...The kids ran down there, oh to be young again!
~

Grape vines are great for swinging or sitting...Jake loves Jordan!
~

Michael and Nicholas in the tree and Toby trying to get up there too!
~

Michael, Nicholas, Jordan, Kaden, Bobby, Ashley and Toby...Quinton is missing.
I tried and tried to get the kids together for a photo. Once they were together I didn't care how they were posing, lol...I just snapped away...I like it when they act normal for the camera :o)
~
Poor Jake...herding us just wore him out!
~

Chatting and taking photos, what better way to spend the afternoon!
We had a great time and so glad it was a beautiful day!

Michael and Grammy!



Daddy's outside!

Michael took his Dad out to see the Oaks I shredded/mowed around. I caught them on the way back...

So love to seem them outside together enjoying the day :o)
~

Okay...he's actually fixing something! The only reason he's doing it is because Mommy in law is here and he's trying to look good! Otherwise I would have had to fix it, thanks babe! He also aired up the flat tire I seem to have gotten on the lawn mower, oops!
~

Julie out for a walk...I liked this photo because of that one foot up in the air...Clip-Clop! She sure looks shaggy in her winter coat!


I whistled and she turned to see what I wanted, love my horse!

Beautiful December day...

While Fred watched his football game and Grammy played with Michael I went out and shredded...and then I found these two Oak trees that had huge grape vines hanging from them and it looked like the perfect place for Michael to play. I shredded around the area and then went and got him...They are fairly close to the house and within walking distance but I drove Mom out there so she could have a look see too...

Jake wasn't sure how to get out of the truck...something I've never trained him to do, so he sat in the back of the truck and whined...But finally he figured it out and jumped out, Yeah!
~

Michael climbing...


I just love big Old Oaks!
~

Michael and Jake, a boy and his dog!
(Fred said it looks like Timmy and Lassie :o)



Grammy has arrived!

We went to the Austin airport to pick Grammy up Saturday night...

Michael waiting for Grammy to arrive...
~

Austin is a musicians city and there was this really neat display of Giant Guitars in different themes...it was really cool.

One of my favorites...Texas theme.


She's here and just off the escalator when Michael tackled her...he is lit up like a Christmas tree!



Welcome to Texas Grammy!
Where it's warm :o)
