Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

We had a wonderful vacation! After Andy took his National Boards (we should be getting his scores soon) we drove up to Grandma & Grandpa Shirley's. We took a different route than we normally do so that we could skip Austin traffic. We made good time until we got to Palestine, TX and then we didn't turn at the right place and ended up in Kilgore, TX. To make the long story short we stopped and asked for directions and made it to Gilmer, TX. We had lots of fun visiting with our cousins. There were 9 grand kids under the age of 9! Here are a few pictures of some of the things we did!

Sounds like you had a long adventure getting there! That stinks, but glad you made it safely.

Your little boys are incredibly cute Karrie! I like the purple jacket picture too. Such a sweet little face.

And I LOVE your hair longer. You look really pretty. It looked darker too, maybe just the picture? Either way, I like it and you look great!
