Legendary Holidays

One of our San Antonio Traditions.
Legendary Holidays at La Canterra.

I don't know why we didn't go earlier this year. We went December 23rd! And it was packed! We often go with friends or family and we always run into other people we know but didn't plan to meet there. This year was no different! We met a co-worker of Alec's and his family as well as a friend of mine with her kids! Crazy.



The best picture I got of the boys in front of the tree this year. Four boys equals a lot of HAM!

Even though it was packed we stayed behind at the end and got a picture alone with Makin' Dust. This was his 12th year doing legendary Christmas and our fifth year attending. Almost part of the family at this point!

Alec liked the way the "snow" looked in my hair.

This is a picture of the "the tragedy."
after the stories and songs and miracle snow in San Antonio there is hot cider and cookies inside as well as The North Pole where kids can play and color and decorate cookies. I believe Santa was even there this year. I had stayed in the Lobby to talk to my friend and Alec took Hewy to the North Pole. On the way back, after insisting he could carry his cookie by himself, a gust of wind from the front doors opening tipped the plate and Hewy's cookie smashed to the floor! There were tears aplenty. Thankfully Daddy took Hewy back to the North Pole and got another gingerbread cookie to decorate.

Another "first" this year was as we were leaving a Mom came up to us and said her daughter had wanted to talk to Noble all night but couldn't get the courage to do it. Would we mind asking Noble to go talk to her? (flattered, but Momma bear protective) We asked Noble if was okay with that. He was. Because he is a good sport and cool like that. (not because he wanted to talk to a girl... right?) She is homeschooled too, plays the guitar too, and wanted a cell phone for Christmas. Am I ready for this?
