For the first time since 2002 we spent Christmas at home. It felt so funny being here and not being with our grandchildren. We stayed at home this year and traveled to Texas instead at Thanksgiving and Perry and Kim and the children joined us for Thanksgiving with our families. We arrived the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and stayed until Saturday morning and headed back to Tennessee. We had Catherine and our sweet little Byson with us as well. He was quite the traveler and slept most of the way to and from. Since we made the trip then our son promised if we stayed home at Christmas he would bring the family to Tennessee after his work slowed down after the first of the year. We can't wait until they get here. Our son Benjamin came and spent the holiday with us, but it still was quiet without our little sweetie around. They are visiting his other grandparents. Perry took his sons and Abigail along with two friends to see the new Rocky movie and I shopped for last minute gifts. After the movie we talked Dad into joining us at TGIF for a late lunch and then hit the mall for more last minute shopping. Considering the day before it was not very crowded at all. We had a quiet Christmas day eating our traditional turkey and ham dinner and watching the DALLAS Cowboys get stomped to death. We just could not believe how badly they played. Just when we think they are back to a winning streak they lose. What a day. We finished it watching George C. Scott's "Christmas Carol".
