Trip to Texas

We traveled to Texas yesterday. I had been packing for two days prior, making sure we wouldn't forget anything. Packing for myself and two kids, plus trying to not leave the house a wreck is not an easy task. Plus, I was a little distracted with Grandma's passing. So, I was pleasantly surprised when we didn't run into any hick-ups yesterday. The kids were great. The flight was on time. We didn't have to wait for our luggage. We didn't have to wait for our rental car. And we even ended up with a larger rental car for the same price. What a great Christmas gift :)

We flew into San Antonio and then drove to Oma and Opa's house. Kate, Jessie, Kennedy and Colin all came over to visit.

Ian was immediately attracted to the many balls in Oma and Opa's front yard - soccer ball, basketballs, and golf balls! Plus there were bubbles!

The trees in the front yard again had huge ornaments hanging from their branches for target practice, I'm sorry, I mean for decoration. Evidently there is a reward, offered by Scott's mom, that she will give him $10 if he hits one of the ornaments with a golf ball - I think Scott will need the full six days he is here to achieve that one.

It didn't take long for the cousins to get reacquainted.

Colin took a little bit of a liking to me. He's so sweet. I fed him a little and got him to go to sleep on my shoulder. I love babies! (WE ARE DONE. NO, I DON'T WANT ANOTHER :)
