Christmas Eve...

Christmas Eve was the usual traditions. We had a mini Christmas Eve Brunch just the 5 of us this year. Scheduling was hard and Mike had to be at the 10:00 service. But we had a mini brunch with not all the usual items but some yummy food.

Merry Christmas from Ranger!

The Wedding....

At the end of October, Mom and Bill surprised us with an engagement! After 14 years they decided it was time to tie the knot. We were so happy for them and quickly started helping to plan the wedding on December 2nd. It was a small ceremony (our family and Bill's) at University United Methodist. 

It was such a sweet wedding. We helped Mom get ready and waited in the parlor until it was time. 

The first look! 

They walked each other down the aisle. 

And now it's official. 

We took lots of pictures! 

Later in the evening, they had a beautiful dinner at the JW Marriot for the families. It was the first real time that we had all spent together but there was lots of good food and conversation. 

 We are all so happy for the new couple. It will be fun to watch as they start their married life together! 

Thanksgiving at the Ranch...

It was gorgeous weather at the ranch for Thanksgiving. We had a BIG group...19 total. Nicole came for a few nights. 

Football before turkey dinner. 

Ranger gets very tired at the ranch!!

 

Baylor vs. Tech

We decided to go to a Baylor game (even though they have had a terrible season!!) over Thanksgiving. Sophia had to leave the ranch early because she was starting her new job at MOD. 

Games at McLean are always fun. We had good seats, hit the Baylor Club for some free food and watched Baylor lose...again.  

 

Halloween....

Lisbeth Anne talked me into being a hobby horse jumping contestant (based off the TikTok videos) for Halloween. She decorated the stick horse with jewels and hair. It was quite the costume.
