Football continued right up till December 21. We did make it to ATT stadium, where Rick and I went and watched three games in one day. After 31 wins, we met at team better than us (Newton). It was a great fun ride. We played in Denton, Springtown, Vernon, and Royce City (two times) for the play off games. Rick and I also went to the Frisco Star stadium to watch two other teams play.
Thanksgiving - since Chad and Tara were here for Ashton's wedding, they went to MccAllen to her grandmother's place. They stopped and visited with Jerry while they were there. We had a meal with the girls at Brandi's on Thursday, and then we had our traditional turkey and dressing meal with the Ferguson's on Saturday. Rick and I painted on one of his rent houses while he was off during the daytime.

Christmas - Jerry came home. Chad and Tara came in. Chad actually came to the Football playoff game and was in and out during the week. Greg and the girls never came home during the holidays. Christmas Eve we had our Christmas with the Di's family. The boys cooked steaks on the grill, and this was a big hit with everyone. We played games for gift cards. However, during the holidays our favorite game was a game Keelie had that she used to play with her grandmother - Crazy Bee Rummy. This year I did not get to go to Rick's girls for Christmas, since it was the same time as ours. Chad and I put together three puzzles while he was at the house. This is always a favorite of mine.
The holidays were fun with all the little ones - Molly, Marlow, and Jackson. When Santa appeared, Marlow's reaction was priceless. We all love our time and pictures with Santa - a tradition started many years ago at my grandparents house before Diana and I were even born. Pa and Ma Henderson may be smiling that we are still carrying on this 60 year tradition.
