Christmas in Texas

We have been celebrating all month!

Seriously... With this much immediate family (16 including kids, spouses and grandchildren)

and everyone's work schedules...

We had to break up our christmas get togethers into 4 different events! 

It's so good to be home among family during the holidays.

In a perfect world we would travel 11 months out of the year and come back to Texas for 

Thanksgiving and Christmas ...

Oh how I wish Steve's work schedule would allow it.

We hope to reach a point in this travel life where we have more flexibility and time off!

but right now we are creating lasting memories by...

Sharing meals...

hosting our annual baking party...

Baking cookies...

lots of cookies...

and decorating them...

lots of them...

and eating them...lol

and lots of christmas trees...

Making gingerbread houses...

Making and eating pretzel sticks...

Opening gifts...

Taking pictures...

Celebrating with family...

And soaking up all these good moments...

These memories will sustain us as we travel through 2015!

Christmas Success!

Merry Christmas from the Hall Hacienda!
