Christmas in Cedar Park
We had our family Christmas in Cedar Park with our two sons and their families. Our daughter and family was not able to attend. We had a nice visit with both and got some pictures. Unfortunately I had the settings on my camera wrong so a number of them came out fuzzy but hopefully usable.
We enjoyed all the goodies made for the lunch and evening meal. Tried to be good about staying on the losing weight track but did fall off the wagon some, but, hey, it the holiday season!
The first gift was special to HD. See the story is there has always been a debate in regard to Fords & Chevys – well our Ford truck broke down (lost the clutch and more) and had to be pulled to daughter's house by her friend's Chevy truck. We knew there would be quite a razzing about it but the picture here is our youngest son's take on it. He put a lot of effort into painting the trucks and using the wood from a tree in his back yard. It is now hanging on the wall in his Dad's office space! In case you can't read it, it says:
Found On Road Dead
By a Chevy
:o)
The girls took a nice walk to the park which is not even a block from the house. The ducks were expecting us to feed them but not bread was brought this time. Our granddaughter is very photogenic but on the move a lot. I reset my camera settings but not soon enough to get really good pictures. :o(
Of course, I had to take a picture of Darlin' and Daisy. I swear that sure looks like a grin on Daisy's face!
Our granddaughter started the opening of gifts with a doll buggy from us and followed with a doll from her uncle and aunt to put right in the buggy. She also got a broom and dustpan to help her Mom in cleaning and a big monkey from another aunt (of the sock critter fame) (

We did our usual Chinese gift exchange and after all the stealing was done, we were all happy with what we got.
A special gift that HD and I really like the the coffee maker given by all three kids. We are really enjoying it.
Thank you for sharing your pics!!! How did the holidays effect the diet? They were rough on ours but it's back to the "being good", at least until the next holiday!! (Isn't MLK just around the corner?)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could get pictures to share.I know Robert looked at them and hope Kathy could see them too. Weight was not too bad - up two but I will get back with the program.
