I love Christmas time!! This year we've been celbrating a little extra. The Ellison side of the family headed to San Antonio December 9th-11th to celebrate the season early. San Antonio has been a fun family tradition for the Ellison crew in years past, so it seemed like the perfect idea to visit again this year! We stayed in the Marriott on the river and had a wonderful time exploring San Antonio. We took a riverboat ride the first night and had a great time watching Avery as she took in the Christmas lights on the river. We stopped for dinner at Casa Rio, and then walked up to the Alamo to see it decorated for Christmas. Then it was party time. We all headed to "Gram & Grandpoppy's" room for presents and to feast on all the fabulous goodies they brought. We exchanged Christmas ornaments and all of the grandkids (yes, even the ones not born yet) got to open presents.
The next day, we toured the Alamo and walked through the Menger hotel and explored the mall a little. The boys played golf while the rest of us shopped like we used to do in the old days! Avery was the star of the show all bundled up in her little white coat with fur around the hood. She looked like an angel, and everyone stopped to say hi to her. She was so much fun to be around! We laughed at how this might be the last manageable road trip for a while, as next Christmas there will be 3 grandkids under the age of 3!!
We made some really wonderful memories on the trip. Thanks Mom and Dad for one of my favorite Christmas gifts ever!!
