Sunday, after church, we had tickets to go see my friend Crystal Gulley in a play in downtown San Antonio. It was the musical version of "A Christmas Carol" and it was wonderful...really a great addition to the Christmas season.It was so cold here (in the 30's) that in the evening that we decided to stay home and have chili and cornbread and watch movies. During the movies, my mom and I made cookies and decorated them...it was a very cozy family night.
Monday morning was hopefully the last day of our cold spell, so we changed our plans and decided to drive up to Gruene and have dinner at the Gristmill. Since we wanted to go in the evening, we all went to see "Australia" in the afternoon...that was a good choice because we all loved it!
We got to Gruene a little too early to eat, so we walked around the town for a while before meeting at the Gristmill for a fabulous dinner served in front of a roaring fire, but surrounded by the beautiful outdoor scenery that we love so much. The picture of Shelley and my mom was taken in front of the oldest dance hall in Texas, a place often used in filming country dance scenes in movies.
The last thing we did tonight was stop by "Schlitterbahn Country Christmas". It's a waterpark that is tranformed into a Christmas wonderland...it was cold, but I was surprised how many people bundled up and came out for the fun. There were bobsled rides, light shows, carolers and crafts, as well as hot chocolate, wassail and german food.

Boy, you guys have sure been busy! Sounds like you're having a lot of fun. I know 30 degrees feel cold to you, but I'm jealous of it - the other night we had wind chills of 40 below. Ugh!
The Gristmill reminds me a bit of the Country Cottage! Brings back WARM memories from our GIRLS DAYS this summer!
