Christmas and our Puerto Rican adventure!



With his new spiderman trike Uncle Uncle Gene got him!

Helping hand out presents at G'ma Schulle's house

This was a game we played where we raced to put the balloons in a pair of hose and then you put them on your head and it looks like a reindeer! I love the face Trey's G'dad is making!!

At Great G'ma Maylene's house

On the road back from TX, fell asleep with his hand in his snack trapper!
Sorry it has been so long since my last post we have been either on the road/plane traveling, working or sleeping occasionally! The weekend before Christmas we made our annual trek to Brownwood, Texas to see Trey's grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins. It is always a wonderful fun time. We went on a Thursday and came back on Sunday so it was a whirlwind and a long 12 hour drive but well worth it! We stayed at both Trey's mom's mother's house and his dad's mother's house. Camden got completly spoiled and did very well sleeping and playing (minus one night he had missed his nap and had a complete meltdown during our gift opening) but did fine otherwise. We got back and then it was straight back to work for a week, then Christmas with our immediate families. We had a wonderful time and it was so exciting for Trey and I to play "Santa" Camden didn't really understand but just knew Christmas morning that he had a slew of brand new toys and came into the den and just pointed with wide eyes and said "oooooooohh" and "wow!!" we loved it!!

Christmas morning at our house Santa was good to us!

Helping Grandad open his presents

 I have a few videos of him oohing and ahhing over his toys and then dancing his new little dance to the muscial car we got him that played "funky town"!
      Then the week of New Year's Trey and I flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico for my sorority sister from college's wedding. Several of my Mississippi girls were there with their husbands and we had a blast.

At the gorgeous wedding in a courtyard

bride and groom leading the "second line" a new orleans tradition
Courtney's from New Orleans so her family were so much fun and we felt like part of the family by the time we left. David, Courtney's fiance works on the TV show Chuck as a prop master, so several of his friends are actors or songwriters, singers, etc. The actor who plays Chuck (Zachary Levi) even was his best man! And the guy from Avatar and Dodgeball was a friend as well. We had fun meeting them and they both have since made TV show appearances promoting their projects and mentioned the trip on Letterman and Chelsea! We had a blast in our hotel there was a huge Puerto Rican party NYE and that was fun, there was a casino on site and we had many functions like dinners, showers bachellorette parties and of course the wedding to occupy our time. We also loved just laying out by the pool everyday and relaxing with now alarm clocks or schedules. Not to mention the weather was fabulous! It was around 80 everyday and sunny. It was a shock to come home to 20 degree weather and snow...It was a much needed vaca! I had my group 30th bday party last night with 3 of my high school friends and will have to post pics in another post due to the large volume I'm posting in this one! Hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays!
