Christmas quickly approached since we were swamped putting up lights. And so it began...our road trip around the world...or so it felt like. Our first stop...Missouri to visit the Wiley side of the family. We had a wonderful time with the whole family together...watching and laughing at the amazing creativity of kids, who were at one point playing "We are poor and so we have to live outside". And enjoying good times opening presents and playing games with family...and of course eating really good food!
These are our beautiful nieces and nephews on the Wiley side of the fam....aren't they just beautiful and so fun!
Grandma Wiley is still just beautiful...and I am so blessed to have the most wonderful, sincere, loving, and beautiful mother in law! I could not be more blessed....same with my father in law...but none of the pics turned out with him in the
m... After Missouri we drove to Cleveland TN, where we stayed the night with a sweet, close friend of mine from college. Noelle and I were best friends and still keep in touch quite frequently. She will always be one of my closest friends! She and her family live in Cleveland and we invaded her family Xmas...since it was the night we were driving through. They were great and we had a wonderful time seeing her beautiful custom home in the mountains and her family. Sweet conversation and a memorable time!

After Cleveland, TN we were off to Evans, GA to see my dad and Pat. We had such a wonderful time with them! Tara and Gerry and the kids were all there and we had a great time of opening gifts, playing dominoes and spending good time together. They are amazing hosts! We were so blessed by them!I spent some time with our niece Ella down by the lake and Wes was taking pics of us! I just love Ella...there was a black Sam Bo down by the lake and Ella called him Baby Jesus...I loved it! So everytime we would pass him she would say "Hi Baby Geesus", "Bye Baby Geesus"...I miss her so much!
Cute little Ella showing off her tummy! And a pic of my dad....so handsome eh?! Natalie is the newest addition to the Warren family..and she is just always happy...I don't think she ever cried..My sister's family is just beautiful!! Not to mention fun!
And sweet Pat...my dad's wife. She is just lovely and so fun to be around. She always makes us 
feel ri
ght at home. We like Pat!
Here is my cute hubby feeding the geese! We had a blast...Rocky the cat loved to chase them too!
After New Years we headed back to Texas and started taking down Xmas lights from our business. I was zip tying some lights...and accidentally ziptied my ring too!! Wes got the picture......Here is a great pic of Wes taking down lights from this ginormous tree!
Oh and lastly...on the way home from our road trip a deer decided to run into the back side of our 4 runner while we were going 75 on the Highway....not too much damage..but sad for the deer.....the deer hair is still on the truck...eek!
A few of our favorite places are the screened in porch (above) and relaxing on the hammock and enjoying the fire pit on a cold night!
