FUNNY THING

I haven't written for what seems like forever. I will catch things up soon but wanted to share something.

Alex, I have never heard of this before and I am really old, but. Santa brought Alex exactly what he wanted a Thomas the Train set. He loves it and did not spend one minute on anything else Christmas day. Well, over the weekend Drew and Frances took their tree in their bedroom down and boxed up all the Christmas things from in there. When Alex saw them doing that he went and got his train box and was going to take his train apart and put it back in the box to be put away, because, Christmas was over and Santa had brought the train so it had to be packed up and wait for next Christmas to be brought back out. Funny. Just never heard of a kid that had that train of thought about Santa gifts.

DREW'S B-DAY & WILD TURKEYS

Fake expression but he did like his SPURS calendar and beanie.

Today is my little boy's birthday. Ok, he is 27 but will always be my little boy. I had a horrible flu all week but am all over it except for feeling so exhausted. Clay subbed school today so of course he really liked that.

Found out the Drew's work is sending him back to Dallas again in Feb. but it will only be a 2 day school. So, I get to be a full time Nana for 4 days. Alex is staying here with us and Frances is going with Drew. I am so excited for them. It will be like a little honeymoon. Hey, maybe I should bring up it might be time to work on another little Crawford while they are gone, hehe.

Christmas is coming but just doesn't feel like it. I dream of a Christmas where all my children and grandchildren are together with me. Now that would be a Wonderful Christmas.

Our wild turkey flock that goes through our property every day, was last year just 5 or 6 of them but now there are 10 of them. Getting to be too many. Don't want any wild turkey meat though. Hopefully one of the neighbors with alleviate some of the overcrowding that is happening. Deer season starts again next week and Clay will be trying his luck again then.

FIRST SNOW

Alex loves his Pappy's truck. He loves to sit in it, ride in it, climb from the cab through the sliding window into the bed of the truck. He loves that it is so "big" and high off the ground. What more could a little boy want from a truck.
