Texas Trip - Christmas 2016

On Christmas night, we drove to Baton Rouge, LA and stopped for night.  We were on our way to Texas to visit for the week!  The kids did SO good in the car and never complained once.  When we arrived, they got their gifts from Uncle Evan and Aunt Melanie - scooters!  They had a great time riding them up and down the driveway all week.
 While we were out there, we kept busy out at the farm, going shopping, eating delicious Mexican food and watching Erin play in her basketball tournament.

 Yummy lunch at Alex's!  Complete with a Mexican coke!

  Mason and Buck became fast friends on this visit.

 Shopping for new cowboy boots:

 As if he didn't get enough toys already....more were bought.
While we were in Hobby Lobby one afternoon, there was a 7.5 foot Christmas tree on clearance for $80!  I have tried the past couple years to buy one at home but they are always sold out.  There were two left this time so I snagged it (once I cleared it with Justin).  I was a little concerned how we were going to get it home but we packed it in! 
One afternoon we took the kids to see the "Sing" movie in 3D.  That was the first 3D movie I have seen and I'm not a big fan but the movie was fantastic.  I want to see it again (not in 3D). 

The second half of the week we spent driving to Erin's Basketball Tournaments in a nearby town (about an hour and a half away). Unfortunately they got eliminated on Friday but we had a great time watching her play!




  The guys crashed in the car on the ride back to Blossom.

Enjoying lunch at a local gas station before a basketball game.  Never thought I would but it was good!
Car packed with my tree and two scooters.  It was a Christmas miracle!

We were sad to see the week end so quickly but we had a great time!  Thank you Uncle Evan, Aunt Mel, Erin and Ryan for having us. :)
