Around the tree

The whole gang around the Christmas tree: Jim, Cynthia, Brendan, Brock, Allie, Karen, Bruce and Danny.

Houston houses are huge!

Everything is big in Texas!  Dan and Karen's house is so big I fear their kids could get lost there. The living room is decorated with a full-sized totem pole. And the ceiling is higher still! Texas multi-story ceilings make for a lower AC bill. Beyond is a giant indoor pool. We all enjoyed a great dinner and lots of catch up chit chat.

Texas is big, brawny and beautiful

I never cease to be amazed by how Texas does everything on such a grand scale as evidenced by the Aquarium restaurant in Kimah where the entrance stairway displays exotic fish. In the morning the fish are hand fed.

December in Texas is warm :-)

A warm reception in Houston. The weather is warm too. It will be 80 today.  Cynthia loves Christmas and her whole house is decorated.
