Christmas 2011.

We went to Martins Mill for the first half of Christmas break.

The best part about it?  EVERYONE was there.

the 2nd annual turduckin .

Uncle Bill and SK got there Friday along with D-train, Amy and Caro.

(we (I) were pretty nervous about SK being there a few days before the engagement...but i'm happy to say no one blew it....I didn't even develop tourettes syndrome. :)

Awkward Family Photos 2011:

SK left on Saturday, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. ;), and the Brawners and Mema came out to Martins Mill for our Christmas.  We usually do Christmas with the Brawners at Memas house, but it was such a nice change to get to stay at the Mill.

We had a great day full of food, presents, Grandmas games, and the boys helicopters flying.

Sunday morning (Christmas Day), we did Christmas at Grandma and Pa's, then went to Mamas for Christmas lunch, presents and hanging all day with sweet family.

My mom in a nutshell:

Monday was spent getting ready for the big engagement and, unfortunately, lots of throwing up and stomach bugs.  Caro, Oak, Amy, and David all got sick at some point. It wasn't fun.

sick buddies.

Oaks favorite place.

Tuesday we all headed to Dallas to hook Uncle Bill up with his buddies, then we all went to Waco for the Night.

Wednesday we made the trek to Wimberly.

The engagement was incredible-Sara was genuinely shocked, and Uncle Bill did an amazing job.

This would also be the day I forgot my camera.  Sooo sad.

Wednesday night just the three of us went back to Waco to get ready to leave for Oklahoma the next day. Christmas Part II coming soon!
