Christmas Company

G'ma and G'pa were able to come visit for the week of Christmas again this year. They bring so much joy to our traditions, and they inspire us to enjoy Texas a little bit more too. 

The weather was warming up again (70s and low 80s), so... Horseback riding for four. 

Bocce ball and picnic with our Italian friends at the lake. 

Visiting the famous Buc-ee's gas station/convenience store. We discovered some amazing, fresh beef jerky and some delicious huckleberry preserves!

Fall Picnic and Play

Texas Decembers can still have 70-80 degree days. So nice for the kids and playing outside.

Preparing for Spring Planting

We decided to try some Texas gardening this coming summer, so we ordered soil and garden beds now to prep. Eleven cubit yards of soil delivered to our driveway!

Lots of muscle-building work shoveling all the dirt to the wheelbarrow and then to the backyard. The kids were great helpers! 

We are now ready for "spring" planting (late February we've heard is the first planting season).
