Christmas Vacation 2012

We had such a great time on our Christmas Vacation 2012 that

I only took 2 photos the entire 12 days we were gone! 

We started our vacation in Abilene on Friday, the 21st. 

Jill flew in that night 

and we hung out for the next 5 days. 

We made a gingerbread house, 

went to meet Molly Greer and Easton Goodman, 

Blake worked at the deer plant, 

Jill and I went to see "Playing for Keeps"

and we just hung around the house.  

It was a nice relaxing Christmas 

and we both got lots of good loot!! 

Christmas Morning

We left Abilene Wednesday mid morning headed to Shreveport!

We stayed there until New Year's Day. 

It was so nice to be home for an extended period of time

where we didn't have anything going on

(ie wedding, etc)

Plus Blake was there

(he hasn't been to Shreveport since Christmas 2011). 

We ate at lots of our favorite restaurants, 

saw a few friends but not all of them, 

met Emma Nuckolls, 

did some after Christmas shopping, 

celebrated all the 1st quarter birthdays, 

and did lots of football watching at Monnie's

(or slept, depends on who you ask!) 

It was a fabulous 5.5 days with my family. 

After church Sunday, Dec 30

 The pups made their 1st trip to Shreveport 

but not before a few mishaps in the car around Fort Worth. 

They are definitely still car sick

but good travel buddies when drugged with Dramamine! 

RHETT did great as always

and was SO excited to see Milly and Ice.  

They all stayed at Mom and Dad's 

with their 2 dogs, Rebel and Cotton, 

and their cat, Bella. 

Everyone survived.. 

and were sound asleep before we were even completely 

backed out of the driveway headed home. 

george henry hung back in Abilene

with Lou Lou and Mikey 

and was spoiled rotten as always! 

We are definitely thankful to our great parents

who allowed the dogs to come stay with them 

and for babysitting! 

We had a blast with Murphy while we were in Shreveport, as well. 

He is at the funniest stage 

where he repeats everything

and is in to everything!!

He LOVES his Uncle Bake

and loves to tell Aunt Kitty "hi". 

modeling his Frog hat 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas season 

with your loved ones too! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful 2013!!
