Santa Just Knows...

That Santa....He just knows what a little boy will LOVE! Apparently sometimes Santa "forgets a big gift" because of cold rainy conditions on Christmas Eve. In that event he comes back while the child is out of town and leaves a surprise. Sometimes though it rains for several more days and the parents realize they need to wait to get out the present Santa hid. Also per toy protocol, that present is in a million pieces and takes several hours to assemble ultimately having to be brought indoors to finish (Yeah that was fun). That present also typically has to charge for 18 hours and it rains even more. When that presents is finally able to be enjoyed it is LOVED BIG TIME!!!

                                               

Yeah clearly he LOVES it! Santa was right!!

Campfire dinner

It was the perfect weekend to build a fire, roast hot dogs, and have s'mores. We had an absolute blast and stayed outside for several hours playing, enjoying the fire, and listening to music.

Looking forward to many more evenings like this!

I mean...

I mean....heart burst!

New Year - New Goals!

Well Happy New Year! I am back! I have been wanting to blog and just got so far behind I felt like I couldn't. We haven't stayed in a park in over 2 years (since Denision I think) that has had wifi. This has limited blogging. The place we lived last year in west Texas kept my phone constantly searching for a signal. Anyway, I need to blog. It is our journal and has kept up with the last 8 years of our life!

I know 8 years. We said "Lets just try this for a year!" In February we will begin year 9!!! Yes NINE years! Honestly, it has flown. We have to think about years by where where we have lived. Over Christmas we were in Austin and we were talking to friends about when we left and it seems like it was yesterday to us!

Here are a few recent holiday pictures.  My plan is backtrack a little but more to just keep up with the now.

We had Christmas morning in the 5th wheel then drove over to Austin to have Christmas with the rest of the family.

 5th Wheel Christmas!

 Date Night! Whoop! We went to see Daddys Home..hilarious and then to a dinner of yummy Italian food. We were so happy that Shelby and Terri joined us! This was us not knowing how to act while waiting for them at the theater!

More to come!
New Year-New Goals! Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!
