Christmas at the Buechter's

We have spent the last week with son Jeremy's family. On Saturday, the Texas kids all showed up for early Christmas. Early in the day we went for a walk in the woods, the kids play outside on the trampoline when it warmed up a bit, we all ate way to much and then it was time for the gift exchange. The grandkids got lots of stuff they didn't need...lol...and the adults each brought a gift to put in the exchange. There were 9 adults that each put a gift on the table. We drew numbers to see who picked first. After the first picker had opened the gift the second picker could steal what the first had gotten or picked a new present and so on. The first picker also got the last pick. There always seems to be one or two things that keep being stolen from whom ever has it. This year was no exception. Several of the gifts traveled around the room several times before they all found a home. We had to put a 3 steal limit on a gift or we would still be there....lol Everybody had a great time and did I mention that we all ate way to much. We played games way into the evening. Everybody finally gave up about 1am and headed off to bed.

Tomorrow we are off to Shreveport, LA to start a week of doctor visits. We will be staying at the Shreveport Elks Club. They have 10 rv sites with 30 amp for $10.00 a night. We have appointments 4 of the 5 days next week and may need followups so hard telling when we will get everything done. We are heading to Ohio on the 21 to spend Christmas with the Ohio family. We will be heading back to TX on the 26. I am not sure where we will leave the rv while we are gone. I will make a decision when I find out if we need more doctor time when we get back.

Till next time
