Wonderful Christmas


 
    

We enjoyed a very nice visit with Dene' and Tyler as they made some changes in their travel plans and ended up spending Christmas with us. They originally planned on being in Alabama for Christmas but are on a bus as we speak (blog) heading for a FOCUS conference in Orlando, FL, then are spending some time with Tyler's folks in Montgomery. Then they fly to Dallas for Tyler's Grandmother's 90th birthday...then back to Alabama and eventually back to Dubuque, IA. Who is keeping Frannie (the dog) during these travels...oh that's us!    
 
 
 
We got some snow for Christmas...all the better to see squirrels with, my dear.
 

Trimming the tree

Dene' made an incredible apple cranberry pie.

These are Christmas cookies even though they look like something for Halloween...they are snowmen. And they were tasty.
 
 
 
 
I like to watch bowl games...and Tyler likes to watch bowl games alot! Tyler handed out the bowl schedule of each team with who and where they were playing and we all picked the the teams we wanted to win. This does make it a little more interesting since we all now have a dog in the race (so to speak). And not just bowl games, but Tyler is a huge Memphis basketball fan. It is actually way more fun to watch Ty watch Memphis play BB than anything else.
 
Our TV is not actually gift wrapped...we were watching this game and Tyler had the Memphis game taping on the other channel and did not want to see the score scrolling across the bottom of the screen. We are talking serious sports watching.
 
 
 
Frannie was gift wrapped.
 
 
 May our Lord bless us all in the New Year.
