We made it a tradition last year to visit downtown Grapevine in December, for this is the Christmas Capital of Texas. The kids love seeing the lights and dancing to the music. I especially enjoyed hearing these words loudly sung on Main Street:
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
This made me laugh...the boys were so concerned...who killed Santa?
Somehow we always hit the neighbor jackpot! In Temple some of our best friends lived 2 doors down. We also scored with a neighbor who worked for Oakley and provided us with free sunglasses. And then there was Linda, who babysat Marley whenever I needed. Well, Grapevine has not disappointed. Our cul-d-sac here has been just as awesome. We had Christmas with the next door neighbors. They are so sweet to our kids...and our kids prefer them over the neighbor kids.
The kids on Christmas (23rd) morning. We celebrated early as a family since we would be in Arkansas on Christmas day.
And then onto the Heminway's for more Christmas fun.
Praise God for a reason to celebrate!!!
