Mr. Bacon, Chuck Norris, Mr. T and Batman! Merry Christmas!!!

What makes a Christmas great?  Mr. Bacon, Chuck Norris, Mr. T and Batman, of course!!  I think these were our favorite gifts, for sure!

Everett gave me some really cool tea that makes the whole house smell great.

We did some Christmas shopping at Little Five Points and stopped by to see Hodge at Outback Bikes.  Same old "golden" Hodge.  Love him!

Jansen is not good at sharing the couch at the bike shop.

We not only found a Jefferson Starship tshirt at a thrift store in L5P, but we also found the matching album!!!   What are the odds????  Best name for a mtb team ever, they just won't die!

The holidays were amazing.  Again, we are thankful every week for all the fun we get to have together as a family and the time we share with friends.

Rock Concerts and Family

Jansen and I had tickets to see a band I love, Local H playing at the Masquerade on Friday night.  We also wanted to visit Mom and Dad sometime this month before they headed to Yuma, AZ.  Time was running out, but both boys made it clear that seeing Mom and Dad was top priority and we would make it work.  So.......

We saw theses guys.....and they rocked it!!!!!!!!

And the mellow song that made it to the radio back in the day.....

We got home about 3am, threw clothes in a bag and headed out to the airport to fly to TX.  I sat next to an older gentleman on the plane that I could not hear due to the "cotton in my ears" from the jam a few hours before.  So, I smiled and nodded.  (stamp from Masquerade)

Mom and Dad picked us up from the airport and we had a really great day together visiting and catching up.

We walked around Boerne and picked out our Christmas cookies from Bear Moon Bakery.

The guys hung out and talked tools and projects.

The next day we stopped at the outdoor market in town and Jansen made a friends.  They talked for a long time about woods and finishes.  I see this guy and his really cool pens at the Saturday market every year, but this time we spent some time with him and bought two awesome pens.

Hey, Taco Cabana, of course!!!  Love hanging with my amazing parents and they are the best grandparents you could have!

Then, after flying in the previous morning, it was already time to fly back home.  Bummer, but we spent some really good time together and can't wait to see them again this spring!
