Christmas 2010

We had a full packed, extra fun Christmas this year!!!! We got to see almost all our families and that is such a blessing. I promise you we won't do the same next year! It was way too much driving on Christmas day for us. It was so good to see everyone though!

Merry Christmas, Love Mia

We started out in Whitney after Austin worked til 1 on Christas Eve. We opened our gifts that night with Austin's sister and family, aunt and uncle, parents and brother. We had a blast and it was fun getting to see his aunt and uncle that live in Kentucky. We hardly get to see them. We spent the night and woke up to Christmas morning breakfast! Around lunch time, we packed up and headed to Temple. My mom was sad that she wouldn't have all her children together on Christmas, so we planned a surprise Christmas and all met at the house. My mom was definitely surprised, I knew this because she was napping when we all arrived!!!! I am so glad we did this for my mom. It was very special.

After doing Christmas at the house in Temple, we were heading to the ranch. We had to stop by the house to do some more packing and went ahead and opened our presents to each other while we were at the house. I love this time opening presents with my husband and precious dog. They are the best people in the world to spend Christmas with and I love them!

After we finished opening up presnts and packing up, we headed to the ranch. We left a little later then we wanted, and ended up getting to the ranch house around 12:30!! We headed right to bed and set our alarms for the early 6 am hunt!!! Suprisingly we got up and went to hunt... Kinda wish we didn't... IT WAS FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we didn't see a single deer. But Travis shot a doe so Austin got to see them clean it and skin it for the first time!!!!

After ranch Christmas, Austin, Me, Lynnsay, HB, and our cousin Johnny decided to sit on the tailgate to hunt. It was so much fun and we actually saw more deer then we did while being silent that morning.... wierd! But like I said, it was a blast and we got some good chit chatting in!!!!

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!
