Christmas 2013

Christmas came way too fast this year. We had so much going on and we all waited till late to make our final plans.  Mike invited us all up for Christmas but some come not make it at the last minute.  We made a trip to San Antonio to see my sister and brother-in-law. Had a good time and just too short.  We came home and went to Christmas Eve services at 9:00 P.M. Then Christmas morning we went to our son, Don, and family for Christmas morning then we left for Tolar for  Christmas with Mike and family. slowly but surely more arrived. We Had Dillon come at Midnight on Christmas night, then Colleen and Cody came on Thursday afternoon.  Don and Patti were unable to come due to their puppy being sick. Pam decided to go to San Antonio instead and Casey stayed here due to not having a puppy sitter. We had a good time and enjoyed it a lot. Casey had a surprise and was given a ring by Ryan. What a great guy. Hope all had a wonderful Christmas. Another year goes by.
