Well, I haven't blogged in a long time - a month to be exact. Christmas has come and gone and we've begun a new year.
We had a lovely Christmas holiday with our family. We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and Meme in Round Rock. When we woke up Christmas morning, Nathan discovered that Santa had come to visit. He ate the milk and cookies we left out and brought him a new bike and blue rain boots, among other things. Santa brought Millie some clothes - all a little girl needs :) We spent Christmas Day with Trey's parents, his brother's family (Clay, Becky, Carly, and Abby), and Uncle Slick and Aunt Cindy. We missed having Ma and Shannon, Nils, and Gwen with us. As in years past, Santa and our families were very generous to all of us.
New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful at the Powers' residence this year. The past two years, we have headed to Acuna, Mexico with 20+ of our closest friends. For whatever reason, no one went this year. This was fine by us, though. However, New Year's Day we all took off to Pearsall, TX. Trey wanted to take Nathan hunting for the first time. Millie and I went down for the day and waited and waited to hear how the hunt went Thursday evening. We didn't hear from Trey until Friday morning...evidently, things didn't go too well. What can you expect from a 3 year old who hasn't had a nap? You sure can't expect him to sit still and quiet.
My mom, Millie and I enjoyed the beautiful weather Friday down at Lady Bird Lake. Sounds like Saturday is going to be just as pretty as today. I hope to get out and enjoy the weather before the cold hits us again Sunday/Monday.
We're all back to work and school come Monday. Trey and I have been off work and the kids have been out of school since Christmas Eve so we'll all have some adjusting to do.
I'll post some pictures later.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2009!!
