We began our southward trek by driving to Kansas to see my wonderful sister, Kelly, her husband, Greg whose birthday it is today (Many happy returns, Greg!) and their three beautiful daughters, Abby, Emma and Grace! Darin and I had a great time exchanging gifts, eating my sister's great cooking, watching movies, playing musical instruments and visiting the Exploration Place in Wichita! Here's one of my favorite pictures from the Exploration Place of just us girls:
Then we continued our drive and ended up in San Antonio where we ate some great Tex-Mex (a craving I regularly have especially since I've been living in the mid-west for 4 1/2 years!), went to the movies, attended the church where I grew up, went to the Riverwalk, opened presents and ate a lot of yummy food! It was such a joy to spend Christmas with my parents, brother, grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins! This is the second time I've been back in San Antonio for Christmas since getting married and moving to Iowa! Thanks, Mom and Daddy for a great time!Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the "double date" Darin and I took with my parents, Rick and Gail on the San Antonio Riverwalk! (The Riverwalk was in it's full glory lit up for Christmas and brought back great growing memories!)
We rounded out our trip with some quick visits with good friends in Dallas, and one more overnight visit in Kansas and now we're finally back to 20 degree temperatures and our warm and comfy home in Des Moines!
Hope your Christmas was wonderful and that you have happy New Year!!
