The Tree

We decided to try an age-old tradition of going out and cutting down our own Christmas tree this year, and it was actually quite enjoyable!! I grew up doing that, since we always just cut a tree out of the woods...anyway, the kids had alot of fun and we had a hayride to boot! It was a little difficult finding THE tree, as Callie in particular was very picky! We started decorating as soon as Bryan got it all set up at home. I was very proud

of us to have our tree up at the beginning of December, instead of the week before Christmas, as we usually do!

Stephen and Brianne Get Hitched

Stephen and Brianne got married the first weekend in December!!! It was a wonderful weekend, at the Hyatt hotel/retreat outside of Bastrop. We even had a visit from Santa with his "reindeer"!Callie and Jack were in the wedding, with Elisabeth, Hogan, Gates, and Beck Leftwich. Everyone looked so cute, and did great during the ceremony! The kids had such a fun time together, and Bryan and I really enjoyed being with all of our "buddies"--it was so fun to just hang out and talk about the good 'ole times! We love Brianne (and Stephen, too!), and are so excited for them in this new life together.
