Holiday Time

We had a wonderful holiday with family and friends this year. We began our trip in Austin spending Christmas with my sister and her family as well as with my parents. It was a great time but of course, I'm lacking any pictures from Christmas. You'll have to trust me that it was a good one!
The drive to Austin
After Austin, we headed South to the deer lease. We spend New Year's here every year. It was a busy week keeping up with an almost 1 1/2 yr old and an eleven year old.
Tyler got to shoot some guns while Bill's Aunt Debbie, Uncle Will, Cousins Hunter and William came out to spend the night.

One night Bill took all three of us to sit in a deer stand with him. This had the makings of a horrible hunt...which turned comical. (Last year Alex sat with Bill and I and he was fine because he was only 5 months old and didn't talk, climb or fuss.) This year I expected it to be a little more difficult so I packed snacks, games and books. Needless to say, the hunt ended up with Bill and Alex sitting in the truck as Tyler and I sat in the stand. We did see a nice buck and a doe with twin babies.
