Hello everyone:

Thanks again to everyone who helped to make Hannah and James wedding so special. I thought I would share what we did the week before. I hope to have pictures loaded at some point in the future:)

Tim was in Ariz for school meetings so he didn't join us until Monday. The rest of us met in Tulsa so that Erik could show Hannah and Andrew his "new life". We enjoyed a tour of the campus. All of the kids then went to the Colin and Brad show for the evening. I guarded "THE DRESS" and the dog in the motel room.

During the week we ran errands, finished gathering things, etc. Hannah and James opened some wedding gifts. And Ember smiled as she had everyone gathered up - at least for a short while.

Wednesday evening we went to Tim's cousin, Pat's house. Quite the nice place. The ladies made Thanksgiving food in the kitchen and the guys practiced wedding music in the parlor/dining room.

Thanksgiving day we went to a ranch which belongs to James's mother's cousin. Lots of room to walk in the "hill country" which reminded me of the pasture except that it is not flat. Everything is so dry there, we even walked in the river bed. We ate in a big open building that had a kitchen at one end. Erik enjoyed playing with one of their dogs as he can jump almost straight up and quite high as you will be able to see in the picture.

Since returning from Texas, we have been getting ready for Christmas. And so we will plan to see most of you on the 18th. Love Vicki
