Festive Decorations

It sure is cold here today. It is about 40 degrees and we have a strong north wind blowing. It really puts us in the holiday spirit. Although we will only have 2 days of cold weather before it is back in the upper 60s/70s again.



We wanted to share some pictures of the decorations we have around the house for Christmas and some pictures of William helping us decorating his 2nd Christmas tree. He really likes the tree this year. He loves to point at the different ornaments and tell us what they are. He is getting SO big. For fun I have added a couple of pictures from last Christmas. What a difference one year makes!



We are also getting ready to head out of San Antonio for Christmas. This weekend we are heading to Sherman and Mommy is driving with Nana to Iowa to pick up William's great-grandmother. The three ladies will arrive back in Sherman on Sunday and by Christmas Eve we will be joined by Grandma and Grandpa, and Great Aunt Jan.



After Christmas Nonno and Nina arrive, and then Aunt Jolie and Uncle Mike (along with Grandma and Grandpa) will come for a visit so that we can go to the Alamo Bowl. The Alamo Bowl has become one of our new winter traditions (3 years running). We always have a great time and this year we will see Missouri versus Northwestern. Should be a good game.



Don't you just love the holidays? We are so glad that we are lucky enough to see the majority of our families during this time of year, although we wish we could see everyone. Those that aren't with us for one reason or another are always in our thoughts.



Expect a few more updates between now and New Years!



Hugs to all,

The Tates
