Katherine and I had the opportunity to fly back to
Texas for a 3 week Christmas vacation. We spend a week in Abilene with her mom and step-dad, a week in Brownwood with her father and step-mother, and then our last week in San Antonio with my family. The weather was great, the family and friends entertained us with exciting adventures, and we ate tons of delicious food. It was a great trip and we are very grateful for everyone who made this Christmas special.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

| Mark (Katherine's dad), Katherine, me, Tucker (Katherine's younger brother), Chase, and Kandyce and Kassie (Katherine's sisters). We spend a week out on Mark's 1600 acres and on this evening we were all gearing up to hunt wild hogs on his property. |
 |
| Christmas day, we caught and killed 3 wild hogs-success! |
 |
| Katherine's cooking dinner tonight, who's hungry!? |
 |
| I spend the next hour of this night trying to convince my wife to spend the night in the tee-pee with myself and her younger brother. Unfortunately, Tucker and I lost and we went home. |
 |
| Driving around at the ranch in this 3 speed old army jeep was a blast! |
 |
| Mark and the family sent us home with some INCREDIBLE deer jerky from this beast! |
 |
| A few more wild hogs caught by a family friend. |
 |
| Oh wouldn't it be nice to be retired and have the time and money to work on a beauty like this. |
 |
| Country girls, oh and Chase! |
 |
| I was lucky enough to find a small arrow head at the ranch. Definitely a treasure that will be locked up in a safe spot. |

The new LED lights on the river-walk were a nice touch.
