Heading to San Antonio on Dec. 4th, 2012

In 2 days I'll be heading to San Antonio, Texas to take care of Colby and Addie. Kori and Troy left today for a cruise that Troy had won last summer. The kids are staying with a friend there that lives in their ward. She has grandkids too and they knew they could trust her to take care of the kids for a couple of days until I could get there on Tues.
I've put lots of time and money in preparation for this little trip. (1 week) I'm taking the traditional Christmas cookie party to Colby and Addie since they won't be here to join us.
So I've bought all the stuff I need for that. I've also bought all the stuff to make a Christmas craft each day I'm there. We're going to make gumdrop trees. Reindeers, reindeer candy canes, etc. I've bought them each a pair of Christmas socks to wear, ornaments to make for their tree. We're going to have so much fun.

The thing that makes this even better is the kids are so excited for me to get there. Kori made a chain out of construction paper that they tear one off for each day before I get there so they can see how close it is. They took a picture of Colby with the biggest, dimple smile and he's holding a Christmas Tree cookie cutter. It makes my heart so happy to see how excited they are.
I'm flying out Dec. 4th at 9:20am and I stop in Denver, Co. then off to San Antonio. The lady in their ward taking care of the kids right now will pick me up at the airport and take me back to Troys place. I hope I make my flights ok and I'll be able to find my way around the city.
I'll post some pictures when I get back from my fun trip.
