Well, we just got back from my parents' house in Sierra Blanca, Texas. It was so much fun. We went Thursday night (instead of the planned Friday morning) to beat a snow storm that was headed that way. It snowed some while we were there, but El Paso (just 70 miles West of us) got 7 inches of snow in some parts. 7 inches!! Snyder had a white Christmas as well while we were gone. They got about 3 inches but it melted before we came home.

We got to eat like kings! We had some of the best home cooked food around. My mom is an excellent cook. We ate chili rellenos, Chimichangas, tacos, sour cream beef enchiladas, mexican rice, a pot of beans, it was amazing. Christmas morning we had a green chili/egg/cheese combo with home made cinnamon rolls. Does your family do anything special for food around Christmas? Most families do ham or turkey. Not us!! We sure love our mexican food.

We had sugar cookies, rocky road fudge, 7-layer bars, buckeyes, oreo balls, cheesecake bites, and chocolate pepermint cookies for Christmas treats. Soooo good!! Do you guys have special Christmas treats you make?
We did some roping, but mostly hung out with family & visited. Christmas morning was great. Little Lindsey was a hoot opening presents. It was cute. She would exclaim "Oooohhh" when she would open each present and jump up and down. She got a tricycle and a doll and a play kitchen among other things. What did you guys get? I got some new jeans, and a cool light tester among other things. It was a great Christmas.

I hope you guys are having fun with your families in this time away from school. Make the most of it and have some fun! I'm back to work tonight running to Midlothian. Have a safe holiday break!
