On the 23rd, I headed home to celebrate Christmas with my mom’s side of the. As usual, my mom cooked enough to feed a small army. We all had a great time, especially while playing a white-elephant gift game/exchange. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend time with my dad’s side of the family because of holiday scheduling conflicts. On Christmas Eve I accompanied my parents to the candlelight service at their church. Christmas morning was spent again with my parents, my sister, her husband, and their two sons. Later that afternoon, we were joined by my granny, and her best friend, Jule.

My parents, sister, and nephews decided to drive down to College Station to pay me a visit. We spent most of our time together at the house. Clint was looking foward to meeting Tucker, and I don’t think he was disappointed. Tucker’s such a great dog and he had fun playing with the boys.

Early Saturday morning, I headed to Waco to watch my nephew “show” his calf at the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo. Glenn accompanied me on this trip while Ruben stayed home to study. The livestock competitions are grouped according to each breed. By the early afternoon, Clay’s group was called to the arena.
