Day 8-10 In Texas: Christmas With My Family and Time With Big Grandpa

Day 8: Sunday 12/21

    As soon as everybody woke up in the morning, Ellie and Timmy started begging us to open their presents from us. We told them we would do it the night before, but since we didn't get home until late, we never got a chance. Since Nick was going back to Corpus today, we went ahead and did it first thing in the morning. 

 We get each other a Pier One ornament every year. This year we got the same one.

 That tongue! LOL

    After presents, we ate breakfast and got ready to visit my grandpa in the nursing home. I can't believe he is doing so great for being 99 years old!

We love Connor's jersey Felipe!

 Paying close attention to Big Grandpa.

 We all wanted a picture with him :)

 Connor was stealing his cookies.

    While we went to visit Big grandpa, the guys went hunting. Aaron shot a doe and after the processed the meat, they came home. My sister, Nick, and the kids had to go back to Corpus, so Connor got a couple more pieces our of his uncle before he left!

 Connor played in Ellie's boots that she forgot to pack and we ate dinner before going to bed.

Day 9: Monday 12/22

     We had another special visit with Big Grandpa. He shared his taco and cookie with Connor.

 Eating a barbacoa taco for the first time.

 Gingerbread cookies for dessert.

 Playing peek-a-boo.

     After visiting with grandpa, we ate lunch and went grocery shopping. My sister, nephew, and niece came back in the afternoon after their doctors appointment. We prepared dinner, and when the guys for home from the ranch we ate. For dessert, we picked up ice cream from Dairy Queen.

 Always acting silly.

 Tio shared his sundae with Connor.

 Then Connor stole my cone... :(

Day 10: Tuesday 12/23

    Today was our last day in Freer. We packed all of our stuff in the car, and while my mom cleaned the house, we got the kids out of the way and played outside.

 My dad and his girls.

 Melts my heart.

 Wish my mom was in this picture!

    We drove back to San Antonio that afternoon and opened presents in the evening {since it was our last with my parents before we left for DFW in the morning}.

 Thanks for all the presents mom and dad!
