Festivities

With Christmas only 2 weeks away TODAY, there are tons of fun festivities leading up to it! We've had a really great couple of weeks here in Texas and enjoying our friends and the fun that the holidays brings! Tony has successfully finished his very first semester at seminary and I am soo proud of him and glad to have him all to myself until classes start again!! (I'll let him tell you how the semester ended!)

I though I'd just leave you with a few pics of the latest festivities:

Our staff week at work was full of Christmas Cheer!

Wednesday our group of friends that we get together for Thur/Fri night dinners and date nights had a Christmas party! The "Garrett Manor" Christmas Party:

Last night our dear friends the Toller's came over! It was SOO nice to catch up and hang out with them! Paula-Beth even taught me how to knit!

It has been a fun, festive couple of weeks! Tomorrow we are going with a group of friends to the Gaylord Texan ICE! It is this huge "ice city" full with sculptures and cool stuff; this year's theme is the Grinch! They keep it at 9 degrees and give you parkas to wear walking through it! It sounds like a lot of fun and we are excited! I'll have pics later in the weekend of all the cool ice sculptures and us bundles up!

While we are having fun with our new friends and all the festivites that we are finding here in Texas - we do miss our friends and family back home and cannot WAIT to come back home in only 12 DAYS!!!!

Love ya!
