We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s with our families. I wasn’t great at remembering to take pictures, but here are at least a few that hopefully highlight the festivities.
We spent all Christmas weekend with Kolby’s family. The highlight was definitely our one month old niece, Kyndall. We mainly just laid low, passed the baby around, ate some great food and played Pictionary on the Wii.
The whole family attended the Christmas Eve service at our church and it was really neat to have everyone there.
On Christmas day we had a morning full of opening presents and then we had a big meal with the extended family. It was a wonderful and relaxing Christmas!

After Christmas, Kolby and I joined my parents and Russell for a trip down to San Antonio to watch Baylor play in the Alamo Bowl (Brad & Remy were in a wedding so they couldn’t come). After being notoriously terrible at football for a very long time, Baylor has been on the rise and wound up having a fantastic season this year. The pinnacle was when our quarterback, Robert Griffin III, won the Heisman. But winning 9 games and then beating Washington in the Alamo Bowl was an exciting accomplishment as well. Baylor scored 67 points in the bowl game, setting an NCAA record. It was crazy.
Mom putting the Baylor flag on the truck before we hit the road (and then flashing what she called a "gangsta" sign for the picture).
Me and Russell at the game. He's a senior at Baylor this year. What good timing!
We then celebrated Christmas with my family over New Year’s weekend. Here are a few really random pictures.
Kolby took this because he thought the sunset looked cool in the background. Tucker was going for a pretty sophisticated look here.
Santa brought a suped up golf cart to the ranch for Christmas, which we all took for a spin.
The kids set off some killer fireworks off the dock on New Year's Eve, while my mom and dad and Tucker watched from the patio. We only had to run and take cover twice. Might be a family record.
So, that about sums up our year-end family fun. Merry Christmas to all. And here's to 2012-- I have a feeling it's going to be a great year!
P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent a Christmas Card! Our refrigerator was looking mighty festive this year :)
