Texas Trek

Bear with me- the blogger has a mind of its own tonight on displaying pictures- so these in totally random order!!

We did an epic journey for our Christmas break!

The end of our journey was trip to Port Aransas TX to enjoy the beach.

Would you believe that our ferry to the island was the (Arnold Somebody) Oliver ferry?

Dream come true- the only thing he wanted from Santa!

Santa found us at our little house in the big woods- the cabin, Walnut Grove, MO. We had stockings by the fire, a teensy little tree, and plenty of surprises for Santa! Also, must have a plate with carrots for each reindeer. Peeled, cut and counted individually for fairness by Sadie. And a tent from Santa for each good little girl and boy! Fun!
