We're Back!

So Christmas went great, it was alot of traveling but well worth it. We had a great visit with all the grandparents and great grandparents. Grandma & Grandad Schulle were kind enough to let us occupy half the house with all of Camden's paraphenalia and we had a great time. Camden got totally spoiled for his first Christmas and it would take us a month and a million thank you cards to thank everyone for all his gifts so I want to say a HUGE thank you to all the family for the wonderful and thoughtful toys, clothing, books, baseball memorabilia, etc. It was overwhelming how much he got! He has been enjoying it all! He won't remember any of this Christmas but his favorite part was playing with the wrapping paper. Next year should be fun when he actually understands that these gifts are for him! While in Brownwood Camden got to see his first longhorns and mommy and daddy had their hands at target practice with Trey's dad's pistols which was really fun. Camden did pretty good on the long trip the normal 10 hour drive took us about 12 though b/c when he started getting restless or fussy we hoped off the hwy and took a break. We got back home for a couple of days and I worked NYE and when I got off when headed off again to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl. This time we BYOB (brought our own babysitter) my mom (CC) rode along with us to help with Camden while we traveled and when Trey and I went to the game which was fun but of course disappointing since the Red Raiders lost!! There was a big pregame party at Uncle Gene's house and the whole house was decorated Red and Black to support Tech. We rode a shuttle to game (no worries with parking) our friends Chad and Jana Duncan came in and we sat with them at the game and they got to meet Cam for the first time. It was actually very hot at the game. After the game Gene hosted a full party with awesome food and lots of people came by. My friends from Memphis Debra & Brent Williams, Ashley & Tommy, Micah & Erica Miller were all there to support Ole Miss and came by to visit. We had the best time! Another of Trey's friends, Jon Blann & fiance Casey, who we see about once a year drove about 2 hours to come see us and meet the baby. Then Saturday mom, Gene and I went for a grand tour of the city. We had the best tour guide. Gene showed us all the monster mansion, including a few of his own as well as where the Bushs are planning to reside after office, where Kennedy was shot, shopping, etc. It was fantastic day! We all went out for an awesome dinner at Screendoor a southern food inspired fine dining restaurant that night. We came back on Sunday and it went very smoothly, we listened to a book on tape making the trip fly by. All in all it was a great weekend! A Huge thank you goes out to Gene and Floyd for allowing us to crash for 3 days and for all the wonderful meals and chauffeuring around the Big D!! Pictures are coming I am updating this when I get breaks in my schedule, so I have lots of pictures to post in a slide show so check back.
