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.

A Christmas Like No Other..

We in the Powell Family Got to Celebrate Two Birthdays This Christmas.
Christmas Eve we enjoyed talking about Jesus and what he means to us. How we wouldn't have Christmas If It Weren't For Him.

Now If we were only prepared for the phone call we got at 4:30 in the morning on Christmas Day. ThatsRight, Roberts Sister, Brandie (Aunt B) Had her baby! In just 3 1/2 hours from that phone call, We welcomed Wesley Harper Brown! A little girl, who weighed 6lbs 14 oz , 19 3/4" Long @ 7:34a.m. In Abilene. Seeing how Caleb was obviously asleep still, we waited to go until he had his Christmas at our house. When he did wake up, we told him Santa had been there and that he's also been to Abilene and Dropped off a present to his Aunt B. and Cousin Wesley was here!! He was so excited...We didnt get home until about 8:15 p.m. that night. Whew were we tired and glad to be home. But what a Huge present for Brandie and George!!

Congratulations to you guys! You have an exciting adventure ahead!! Below are several pictures of our WHOLE day! Enjoy, and I hope that your Christmas was filled with as much love, joy, happiness and blessings as ours! Merry Christmas~Love, The Powells

Lazy days at SANP




Sunday, a lazy Day at the San Angelo State Park...



Robert decided to take his little guy fishing...

We had a great time, I brought a picnic of sandwiches, fruit, chips, and lots of water... Enjoying the breeze of the calm yet relaxing day, we saw prairie dogs, jack rabbits, birds, and fish.

Just a quick recap of January. Not much went on, but it went by fast.
Rob, and I hosted our New years lock-in for the youth. There were about 15 kids there. On Jan. 19th we all went to the circus together. Calebs been every year but this year he had so much fun! We saw elephants, clowns, ringmasters, dogs, and ponies!! Here are a few pics that we took on our circus adventure.


We hope that your January was as blessed and wonderful as ours!
Love, Hollie
