We had a great Thanksgiving here in Texas. The temperatures dropped Wed. night so it was really cool here. People here think it is freezing but it is more like fall weather. We went dinner at some friends of mom and dad's then went to see a wonderful moving (August Rush).

Today we went to another little town and did more shopping. We saw our old pastor from church, Eric, and his wife, Caren while waiting for our table for lunch. They moved to Austin in May and we haven't seen them since. It was nice to see them again. They are going to come see mom and dad's house here in San Antonio tomorrow evening after I leave.

On our way home we stopped at a town we went to earlier this week but wanted to see their Christmas festival they were having. It was really neat! The whole street was blocked off with a few different people doing live music and all the food vendors selling things. Later they had snow machines! It was really fun to watch the people that don't see snow all the time. It was a wonderful end to a good week!

We found this really neat Santa (he was Father Christmas) and just had to get a few pictures! The first one was taken while the snow machines were going.

The horse carriages were out giving people rides up and down the street!

Tomorrow we are going to breakfast and maybe stop and a few more shops then I am heading home. Please pray that all my planes are on time. I leave here a little before 6 and should get to Chicago around 11:45 (with a 2 hour layover). I just hope I don't get delayed later!
