Our First Christmas in Texas

It was an amazing and eventful Christmas this year. We got visitors from New Mexico: Hailee, Derek and Carly and from Idaho: Mom, Dad and Trever. Between the two of them they stayed 12 days and it was awesome. The weather was beautiful, mid 60's, and we spent a lot of time outside.
Also during the Christmas break, we closed on our new house (my Christmas present!), and took a day to move -- thanks fam for moving us on your vacation.
We spent Christmas day with Hailee and Derek reading scriptures and stories and singing songs. Mom and Dad arrived Christmas night late, so we decided to save all of the presents for the following morning.

Cabela's camo camp chair t0 Dantzel from Daddy. (I think he's afraid she's going to be a girly girl or something)

Borrowing grandma's stylish reading glasses.

We spent a whole day at SeaWorld in San Antonio...amazing!

I love this guy!!

Yummy Texas barbeque at Rudy's. Brett ate white bread and root beer, while Sissy had as much moist brisket as Jeff. Everybody LOVED this place.

Grandma just knows how to doll a girl up!

We spent an afternoon at a park with a picnic lunch. We forgot the bread, so we tried feeding the ducks chips. Brett came running up to me saying "mommy, ducks don't eat chips", bummer. These are some of my favorite people.

LOVE this picture, and now you all know where Dantzel got her eyes.
