Christmas in AR

We decided to go to AR instead of FL this year for Christmas. It was a wise decision and soooo glad we did it! :) We had a very wonderful time. The time with Family was fantastic and I'd say the best visit ever.

We stayed with Shane's parents, but spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my mother and stepfather. I had never spent Christmas day with her since I have been married. It was great. :) Two of my sisters were there, and three of my nieces with their babies. My three nieces all had babies last year. So I am a great aunt so many times now, I can't keep up. Hee hee! :) I think I am getting old.

Shane and I went hunting the day after Christmas and he shot two deer. We went out at 6 a.m., back home with two deer by 8 and back in the woods at 10. That boy is crazy! LOL! We sat there ALLLL day in hopes to see the "big one" which we did NOT. Hee hee! THEN on Dec 31 he went to my mother's house with my brother and he got to actually shoot the "big one"!! It was amazing! :) We brought a lot of deer meat home with us. I made a lot of yummy sausage with it. I love it a lot!

We had wonderful travel weather thank the Lord! That is always a concern of mine when driving there in the winter. We have had some ice storms before and it isn't so great to drive in, but this time all was perfect! God was and is SOO good to us!!

We enjoyed our time at the church there. They are coming along on their new building. We hope to go back for the first service in the new building. We'll see if the Navy lets us. :)

I'll put a few pictures up here of our great time! I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed holiday season!
