Texas Surprise!!!

On Christmas, while Shelley and I were sitting in the kitchen, she mentioned to me that she was planning to go to Texas to spend New Years with Ryan's sister, Bobbi and her children. We talked about how we hadn't seen Bobbi or her kids for about 5 years and how fun it would be to go surprise them. Well we kept talking and we all decided to do it. We left for Texas on December 29th and drove 16 hours to surprise them. They knew that Shelley was coming, but they didn't know that she was bringing the rest of us. We got there at 9:00 am and they were all very surprised and happy to see us. We ate breakfast and then went to Six Flags over Texas. We had such a great day. It's sad some times to live far away from family, especially when your nieces and nephews grow up so fast.

We had a great time with family. We were there for four days. Poor Braxton came down with the flu the first night and wanted to spend most of the time sleeping at the hotel. We didn't get much sleep, but we still loved being there. He misses his cousin Austin all the time, so it was so nice to see them together.
