Our Christmas Mini-Vacation
We were blessed to be able to take a little mini-vacation this year. We had plenty of relatives lined-up to visit, that's for sure ;)
Our MAIN trip was to my mom and dad's house (Grandma and Paw Paw Howsers) house. But to make it a semi-stressless trip, we asked mimi and papa if we could stay over at their place in Austin and just head out the next morning to Houston. That worked out great because we also got to have the kids Christmas with their Grandparents and AuntB, Uncle G, and their cousins. They even got to spend a little time with their Aunt Tess too! We had a great time and the visit was lots of fun.
We got to my moms on Sunday evening, Saw MY Grandparents on Monday, got to catch up with my sister ALL week. I think that was my favorite part :P
Lots of play time with their cousins Drake and Colt for both kids it meant plenty of imagination and plenty of laughs.
There was always good food with My mom and sister around. I dont know why but when I visit, I never end up doing any of the cooking...I would love to help, but its a nice break I suppose. :)
It had been a while since we had all gotten together. Almost 2 years actually. So we enjoyed every minute spent together.

On the way home we stopped thru San Antonio to visit Robs other Aunt Jeana, and family.
We got in town around 3 or so, and were greeted by Robs Grandparents, Uncle, and Jeana and Max! :)
Always so very fun, we relaxed and had dinner later with Laura and William, Robs Cousin and his fiance'
The next day we were to head home, but not before we got to do a little Santa shopping first. :)
While the kids hung out, played games, and watched movies. We found Sarah asleep when we got back :P.
We left around 4 and returned home late Thursday Evening. Just in time to start our own family traditions.
