Wild Family Weekend...(not wild family...wild weekend!)

Hi everybody!

Happy Anniversary to Ryan and LaBretta...today! ♥

We had a great weekend with all the kids (except Jared and Nate) and grandkids at our house...it was wild but so fun! 'Hope those sick ones are feeling a little better! We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner on Friday night....finally were seated after a 1.5 hour wait for a table for 9; and it was a nice dinner...we saw someone that some of you may know! Doris (Charlene) Schmidt....I didn't know her middle name was Charlene...anyway, she has changed her name from Doris to Char and manages T.R., she looks great! After dinner on Friday night, Santa came to our place to see the kids and bring them presents...fun! We all got the chance to sit on his lap, even us old folks. He said he had to put wheels on his sleigh this year...there still isn't any snow... :o( On Saturday, the kids decorated cookies for Santa and had a good time playing outside...not too cold yet, still no snow! Lani and Lisa built gingerbread houses...our "tradition"...hehehehe (I built mine late that night). It was great fun but lots of work....Gramma Woodland and Aunt Joan came to visit and bring presents...fun to see them!

This month will just get crazier and crazier by the day if you allow it, so try to make time to make memories and enjoy the season! I hope we get around to see everyone...lots of love to you all....Char

San Antonio

Hi Everyone...

'Just a quick note to tell you all that I love you and am glad to be home! Jan and I had an amazing time in San Antonio although we missed being with you! We were constantly busy as there is so much to do there, especially this past week. We went to the opera (saw Andrea Bocelli), attended the Riverwalk Festival, did some shopping, LOTS of walking round the Riverwalk and tourist-y part of San Antone, toured the Alamo, saw a great movie--"Austalia" and a not so good one--Twilight, had a great dinner at the Charterhouse (where Jan made a Latino friend... ;o] ..Ernesto), and even had Thanksgiving Dinner (at Denney's). It was a great time...here are a few pictures. Hugs to all...Char
