The Texas warm up to Christmas 2008

I was very honored to be asked by Nathan to attend his last day of school Winter party. The kids all had so much fun doing puzzles, playing games - such as "velcro the carrot on the snowman" and eating lots of good yummy Christmas treats. Nathan and Josh both got a chance to take a spin and get a chance to find the perfect spot for Frosty's nose...


While Chris and Gina were attending Chris' company party, we took care of the boys and met Linsey at the Frisco Fire Station's Safety Town.l What a blast. They had it all decorated and the kids really enjoyed playing in the real fire truck and walking around the town with buildings just their size :-)


Since Linsey and Dave had a Jackson family Christmas year, we decided to hold the Gage family Christmas a little early so that we could all be together for a meal and cup of good cheer before Christmas Day actually arrived. We did have a token fire in the fireplace, it was cold enough for one, but the only one we lit during our stay. We ate wonderful stew, homemade cornbread and then we are all too full for Linsey's amazing peach cobbler! Karen and Jordan joined us and we were happy to have the house so full of laughter and love!! It was a wonderful pre-Christmas festivity and I am really glad that we were all able to say that we spent "Christmas" together!!
