Alabama and Dallas

On Christmas morning, we headed over to the Kirkhams' to open some present before we all drove to the farm in Alabama.  The boys were pretty thrilled to get new cameras!

Ben rode the 9 hours in the car with Grandma and Grandpa and I'm pretty sure I know what he talked about for most of those hours.

Around dinnertime, we found ourselves at the truck stop in Meridian, Mississippi.  Quite an interesting Christmas dinner crowd but delicious burgers!

The next morning, the real fun began.  Ben didn't waste a minute before getting behind the wheel of his beloved blue truck.

Driving 4-wheelers took a close second.

We enjoyed a sunset from the front porch on our land.  No house...just a porch...

Had to enjoy some real cooking at Front Street Diner.

We found a few cute deer in the deer stand!

There was actually a lot of shooting from the deer blind, but all the photographic kind.  Lots of fun with the new cameras.

From Alabama, we parted ways with Matt, who was headed to do some real hunting.  The boys and I went to visit the cousins in Dallas, who were impressed with our custom wrapping paper.

There were lots of trips to Chick-fila in Texas.  I think Alex managed to eat of 55 chicken minis in 3 weeks.

Their neighborhood had a really clever countdown to NOON years eve! Perfect for families.


There was some climbing in the trees there.

Who cares that it's winter? Carter needed a snow cone!

Poor Ben was running fever most of the time and missed out on a lot of the fun.  We had to quarantine him to the theater room, even though he tested negative for flu and strep. I knew he felt bad when he didn't finish his bacon.

We were getting excited about New Years Eve! This little guy stayed up the entire evening!

Happy New Year!  Looking forward to a terrific 2020!
