Looking at Christmas Lights – Adventure or Flop?

Do you have a favorite place to go see Christmas lights? This weekend, we did ThanksChristmasing with the McCrory Family.  Actually, it was a combination of McCrory, Johnston, Smith, Hamilton, and Hensley.  It was FANTASTIC!  What were were thinking, not having our cameras out once everyone arrived?  We saw family we haven't seen in YEARS!  Literally YEARS! Some we'd never met. My little not so little anymore! I've missed him SO much!  We had a great time.

Here's a photo from 1987 or 1988 that I found, not too long ago, of my stocking when I was younger!  I vividly remember this Christmas, because it's the year I got my first REAL bike!  It was a bright red Huffy boy's bike!  I absolutely LOVED it! Things haven't changed much, because I see myself falling into the same trap every year of tons…

Congratulations Rosemary! It looks like you and your guest will be attending Burn the Floor on Tuesday night!! YAY! BURN THE FLOOR, the electrifying Latin and Ballroom dance, is coming to HOUSTON next week!

5 things to have handy on Christmas morning!

Before the sun even shows it's face on Christmas morning, the kiddos scamper into the living room as fast as they can to see what all good ol' St. Nick has left them as he trekked his way around the globe the night before. The little ones start tearing into the wrapping paper that Santa Claus has so carefully taped to each and every box.  They are so excited to see the fun new toys that they so carefully put thought into asking the jolly old man for as they sat on his lap weeks before. You've barely even had…
