Bird Bath

We have a black water tub in the front yard, with water for the animals. The birds decided it was a good swimming hole. (Ron took most of these pics...then I cropped and enhanced)

Snowmen in January

Remember the only snowmen in Texas, in January are inside the house. We have actually had some ice and cold weather this month, and Texas doesn't know how to handle freezing weather. When the freezing sleet was in the forecast for Tuesday... they close schools on Monday evening. Houston may have had a bit more ice than we did. San Antonio had bad black ice on the roads. Anyway... here are my "inside snowmen". I am getting ready to put all these away and start on Valentines day, in a couple of days.

New Years Eve Dinner

Again, Andersons came out for the normal Sunday evening dinner... this time it was New Years Eve dinner. And, again... only got a few pics of the table- lol.
The Tuesday evening after Christmas, we all went to the Texas Meat Co for dinner and then to the Don Strange Ranch to see the Christmas lights. It was a fun evening, in Boerne. I only got a couple of pics at the barn, at the ranch. (I had to go grab some pics online for this evening out.) Happy New Year!!

(Not so) Little Luke

By Christmas Luke is walking. And super cute.

Christmas Eve Dinner and Christmas Evening

Andersons and Ben, came out for the normal Sunday evening dinner, which was Christmas Eve this year. I only got a couple of pics of the table...nothing else from dinner. We had roast, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, cranberry salad, fruit salad, pie, and ice cream. Then Andersons spent Christmas morning and Christmas day at home and came back out with us Christmas evening. We had dessert and gifts. As you could see from my previous post...this year was "Christmas Lite"... very easy on the gifts this year. Each of the boys got a book or a puzzle from GG and then various robot toys from us. Ron got a new pair of work boots. I got some new animals for my Willow Tree nativity set. Mom got a couple of shirts and peppermint ice cream. Sam and Audrey (and Ron) got socks- lol. I got a picture book from our Boston trip last year, and homemade soap and blue bonnets ;) GG also got the soap and blue bonnets and a Butterfly Garden. My pictures from opening up gifts didn't turn out very well... too much "movement" for my camera to capture ;)
