Christmas in Texas

This year we spent a warm Christmas in Texas with my family. The boys and I flew down for a total of ten days so we could spend time with all my family and friends (who came from all over the state and even Alaska!) and Jim joined us for the last 4 days of our trip. We had such a good time, got to do tons of fun things and, most of all, spend precious time with people we rarely get to see. For most of my family this was their first time meeting Calvin and many hadn't seen Ty in several years. The boys did really well, despite battling illness at the beginning of the journey (we were all sick at some point on this trip). I'm sure I could never cover all the fun things we did but here are some of the highlights and a smattering of pictures. On Christmas Day we drove to East Texas to see my dad's extended family and I left my camera behind (my sick day) so I'm waiting for those pictures to be emailed before I can post them. I also don't have a picture of my dear friend Kim who drove from Austin and back in a day so she could spend time with me and the boys. Thank you Kim!! Thank you to everyone who hosted us at their houses and who traveled to see us. You made our trip so special and we appreciate it more than you know. We love you and miss you already!
