Christmas Vacation

Well, I finally took the time to post some pictures from our trip to Texas for Christmas! Blogger has been going a little slow for me all week, but what better than to enjoy blogging on a Sunday afternoon! Enjoy :o)
This first picture is actually on our last night in Pleasanton. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset at the Poth Ranch. The picture captures Fred in his element...I love it!
What a cute couple...Sandra & Fred...


Ginobili LOVED his vacation. He got to run free, chase cows/rabbits/hogs/etc. etc... and swim! He was truly a dog and loved it!

Here he is checking out the cows. He finally got up the nerve to play with them a little and then would get scared and hide behind us or the truck. It was pretty funny!

Here is another picture at the Ranch. We really enjoyed driving around on the Mule and Ginobili loved running and running...

We open presents in Pleasanton the night we arrived. We all got a lot of great things...my favorite was the Kitchen Aid Mixer - I've already made some cookies! Thanks Poth's! Lex got a lot of hunting stuff too and can't wait to put it to use!


We went to Dallas on the first half of our trip and had a great time there too. A lot of our time was spent playing Wii. I think my Mom is boxing in this shot! It's really a great workout! My favorite was tennis - but I definitely need some more practice!

Here is Cindy in her bowling stance...and we all thought she wasn't athletic :o)



On Christmas Eve we went to the candle light service at church and then came home and had a Panini Party! We all got Panini makers from Shane & Valarie, I would highly recommend them!


Shane loves Starbucks and seperately we all got him the exact same present from Starbucks - guess he's set on coffee until next Christmas! :o) haha!

Our Family

Our crazy family...don't ask me why there is so much orange in this picture - it wasn't my idea :o) GO AGGIES!


We also got a chance to go see Mom play at North Park Mall with her band. They did a really good job and drew a really big crowd too. Lex actually learned a few things about music too.

On our way back home we were lucky enough to get to stop in Houston - we met up with Karen, Brooke, Allison and Lex's friends Brian & Tessa. We ate at Barnaby's - which allows dogs to sit with you at your table outside. We had a great time seeing all our Houston friends!


Overall we had a great trip! Happy New Year and we can't wait to come back to Texas to visit again!

I am so sad that I missed you in Dallas! First of all, I am way jealous over the mixer! Second of all, I am way jealous that y'all got to hang out in Houston! Great pictures though...miss you!

Tennis is the best. I am a pro with an score of around 1800. We have one at the office. sure does beat working.

What a fun Christmas! I got the Kitchen Aid mixer too....so fun. I must say, I'm quite jealous of the fun get together too. I can't wait until we all get to hang out again. It's been way too long.
