December 2015 update

Sparky in the truck on the three day drive... very long for him but he looks comfortable

Coloured Trees Around Dallas

Hibiscus blooming well at Xmas

Finally going through pictures to put on my new computer that I got when I was home in November so time to update the blog.  This will be kinda mixed up in order but it will all be December.  We got back to texas from Canada in December and then James came down for Xmas. You will see pictures from the drive down where I finally saw leaves changing colours in northern Texas - mostly all green - no colour in San Antonio.  Then went to see Star Wars with work as our prize for winning orange day.  James got here on the Fri night so we went to the Saturday Dallas Cowboys game in Dallas at their new Stadium.  Have more pictures from the beach of Jim and James throwing the frisby on the beach.  We went to a neighbourhood decorating competition and took pictures of the lights... you can do lots here with now snow.  One guy even dresses up as santa all night long on his front lawn to entertain.  There was apparently a Live Nativity scene too but we never saw it.  Went to Top Golf for New years eve and then to friends house to watch the fire works.  We also went to Six Flags earlierthat week to see the xmas lights there.

Brought Down James Stocking and got a Norfolk Pine for our xmas Tree

Cowboys Game  - the pictures say it all


Yes that is a reall person as santa on his front yard




The cactus and cowboy one as well as the huge blow up dog are from our neighbour hood... not quite as many lights as the other neighbourhood but still nice.



Six flags had tons of lights as well.  We stayed for the lighting of the tree which was pretty spectacular.  All of the water rides were closed for the winter so we were pretty bored otherwise since we do not do any of the other rides since we get too car sick.





Cool picture of a wave crashing over James as he catches the frisby from Jim

Whataburger buys a LOT of Coke products so to thanks us their polar bear came to our office and we got pictures and tshirts from them
