Thanksgiving Trip - Lane Family

Next we loaded up and drove from San Antonio to Brownwood. It was great to see Mother, along with several siblings and their families. Clay and Jessica, Jim and Amy, Jacque and Fudd, Jay and Craige were able to join us to celebrate Thanksgiving. Being that Mom lives out on 70 acres, the kids have the run of the property to hunt and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, there were card games and the traditional, spirited game of 42. It was great to catch up with everyone and great to know that God's blessings are on everyone's lives.

Thanksgiving Trip - Mathis Family

It was a great trip to Texas for a full week of family and fun. We departed Sunday, November the 20th, and drove straight through to San Antonio.... just a short, 900 mile dash. Sunday night through Wednesday, we stayed with Gary and Judy, enjoying great food, shopping and a trip up to the Blanco property. We were able to enjoy Kendra's new baby, Riley, and the other four, little cousins. Chris and Holly hosted a great evening of feasting and family fun on Tuesday night. Of course, there was wonderful Mexican Food. The weather was really nice, as we avoided the heat and humidity.... with a well, place cold-front by Mother Nature.

Halloween

As with any other Halloween, Audra had to purchase the two, massive bags of candy for all the Trick-or-Treaters that would be coming by the house. Mostly, Audra loves the little 2-5 year olds...... Also for the first time in years and years, we purchased a pumpkin. Katie got the honors to carve and create. She did a great job!!!!!
