As our time in Texas came to a close, it seemed things got even busier.
We decided to head out to Santa's Wonderland in College Station.
It was about an hour and a half drive, but it was lots of fun and the weather was perfect.
We took a hayride through different scenes lit by Christmas lights. This was scene was devoted to cactus and longhorns. Only in Texas. :)
Ezra and Grandpa.
Jonas and Nana were a little too enthralled with an carol-singing "Elvis". :) At least there was a cozy fire by which we ate our dutch-oven-baked-over-a-campfire berry cobbler. Yummmm!

Another big event we participated in the weekend before we left was the Nutcracker. My cousin Laney owns a dance studio so Ezra was able to play the part of a mouse. His performance at the 2 o'clock show left something to be desired, but he nailed it at the 7 o'clock show.
Ezra and me backstage.
Our favorite mouse!
Post performance signing autographs. ;)
There's no place like home for the holidays. Unless of course, you're back in Germany with the husband you haven't seen in 6 months. (Wow--none of the kids were looking at the camera. We took this as we were leaving. They weren't too happy to be saying goodbye.)
Here's video of us on the hayride at Santa's Wonderland.
