A very Texas Christmas!

This is one of many firsts for us...not living in Texas at Christmas time. It was so good to kick off the Christmas season southern style...tex-mex, whatatburger, shorts weather, cars, suburbia, family, friends, kids and traditions. A whirlwind trip for sure, but we made the trek from NYC to Dallas followed by Lott, Tyler, Nacogdoches and Houston in 4 days and had a great time... a little loopy from lack of sleep, but who needs sleep anyway?

Twas three weeks before Christmas
and two NY transplants
headed homeward to Texas
to see uncles and aunts

and cousins and fathers
and mothers and such
with just 4 days to visit
it seemed like so much!

But we learned once again,
upon our flight reaching ground
that all time in Texas
just seems to slow down

We had wonderful visits
too many to track
we can't wait to repeat it
next time we come back!

Home sweet home in NYC... and by sweet, I mean it's Holiday Baking time!
