Loving Gruene, Texas

Hi all, we had a great visit with Justin's family in Gruene.  Abbey arranged the little dinner outing.  Sasha and Juan live in San Antonio, so we started a new Christmas tradition ( we hope) and met them in Gruene.  Connor and Kirk even wanted to go down a little early and see the sights.  That totally caught me off guard. So off we went.  We walked around and looked in the antique shops.  You really feel old when the things you had in your house growing up such as glass ash trays, a small child singer sewing machine, and plastic place mats, show up in these shops and are worth lots of money! They put their foot down when I asked them to take a picture with the Christmas Cowboy.  We walked through Gruene Hall and saw a band singing Christmas carols and a couple of people dancing at 3:00 in the afternoon.  We ate at the Gristmill then spent a lovely Sunday evening telling stories and sipping wine out by the fire.  Oh, how I love Texas!  Just cool enough for a fire and a great family to share it with!  Enjoy the pics:
