Gilmore Christmas


We share Christmas' with the Wilson.  One year we are with the children and the next year the Wilson's are.  So, we decided to have an early Christmas before heading to Mission, TX.  We went to church and then headed to a restaurant called Celebration.  We'd been here several times, they serve family style.  It is located in a house with several rooms, so it can be intimate.  Craig passed on lunch and took Asher home so he'd get a before we started opening gifts.


The kids and grandma could hardly wait.


Addie got a pottery wheel from Scot.  Scot likes to select gifts that are either messy or loud.


He also got them musical toys for their bath. Addie was trying out the flute.


Craig helping Asher tear through his gifts.


Addie did a good job of reading names and getting the right present to the right person.


I got a backpack from the Craig and Heather. It is a small one just what I wanted.


Asher's favorite present was his bubble blowing lawn mower.


Scot and Sounheim outside Heather's house. Sondheim got a bones, a new blanket, and a raincoat that was too small.

The Thursday before our Christmas, we learned that Bob was going to have surgery on his carotid artery on his right side was 70% blocked.  Dr. Jones said we couldn't go to Mission, TX until Bob got it checked out by a vascular surgeon.  So we have extended our stay here.  If he has to have surgery, Dallas has many fine doctors and the children are her to support us.
