Christmas in Texas was all about relaxing, hanging out with family and friends, and eating as much bluebell ice cream, Taco Bueno, and basically any other awesome American food as possible. I didn't use my camera as much as I thought I would, but I did get a some good shots.

I had to sneak this picture in here too - Bryan before shaving off his goatee. He hates when people tell him he's the spitting image of my dad, so he did this to prove he does NOT look like young Tom. Sorry Bry, I think you proved the opposite. This looks eerily similar to my parent's wedding picture, he's just missing the baby blue tux. Tom Carver circa 1970s anyone?
We squeezed in a visit with Uncle Jim & Aunt Sandy…wished we would've come up sooner when the whole family was in town. Love these guys!

We had SO much more fun than you see here. We saw a LOT of movies, hung out with our Justin friends, and made a super fun trip to Fossil Rim. It is SOOOO nice to go home for the holidays and have a break from life over here. But after 3 weeks, I was ready for the littles to get back to their routine. The flight home with the fab 4 all by myself is now added to my top 10 worst memories of motherhood list, but being reunited with Ry and back at home in Holland feels great too.
