For the holidays this year, my family came to DFW. My dad found some cabins on Lake Grapevine. Each family had their own small cabin right on the lake. It was great. The weather was wonderful and we all had a great, relaxing time.
The moon the morning after the lunar eclipse. Leland and I had set an alarm to see the eclipse. We got Ryland up to see it to which he said "Oh cool" and then went back to bed. He doesn't even remember getting up. It was neat to see though.

I had 2 nieces born back in July. These are my brothers, the proud father's of those sweet girls.
The Tuesday we were there, the weather was gorgeous. My family enjoyed fishing and playing outside. And yes, Reese is wearing her Christmas PJ's and her pink boots - she loves those boots.
This is the only picture we got of all the older grandkids. We had a campfire on Tuesday evening. The kids enjoyed cooking hotdogs, making smores, and playing with the glow sticks.
Grandma with Reese and Jacey. These 2 are 2 1/2 months apart in age.
RRR enjoying the campfire.
Mitch brought his guitar and we had a good time singing by the fire. We sang some old goodies.
Kelly and my nephews.
All the kids got matching Christmas PJ's. We missed getting a picture with them all together, but they were very cute.
"Christmas Morning"
All the grandkids made personalize plates for Grandma and Papa.
Kelly and sweet Hannah Beth.
Mitch and Katie gave Ryland a Harry Potter Lego game. Mitch was great and played it with him several times.
Mitch also played the Wii with Ryland alot.
Wednesday morning, my morning girl and I were up and ready when everyone else was still enjoying being lazy. So we took Grandma with us and went to get pedicures. It was lots of fun.
On Wednesday afternoon, we all went to Bass Pro Shop to let the kids enjoy all the Christmas things there. They all had a great time.
Raylee, Reese, and Jacey.
Some of the kids wanted to sit on the big, stuffed bear. Parker and Jacey weren't so sure about it.
Hannah Beth enjoying the sights at Bass Pro.
Katie and Mikeyla enjoying Bass Pro also.
I ended up with most of the kids most of the time at Bass Pro so we made a train to go everything. I'm sure we were comical to watch when there were 5 kids ages almost 3 to 5.
Keynan checking out a boat at Bass Pro.
And of course, we got to see Santa while at Bass Pro.
We really enjoyed the few days with my side of the family and we all seemed to enjoy the location. I think we'll be staying there again.
