Davis is a major fan of any farm. On our 2 hour drive, any piece of vacant land with cows on it, to Davis, was "Our farm! We're here!" That went on and on for a while.
Beeville was our first stop with the Seger side of the family (Forrest's mom side) where we enjoyed some delicious martinis by the camp fire while roasting marshmallows! We had our Thanksgiving meal with the Segers, a total of 60 people, and attempted (succeeded slightly) at getting our Christmas card photo. How successful can you be with a three year old? One attempt is enough for me, I cannot manage getting all three of us showered and dressed at the same time.

From Beeville, it was on to Halletsville with the Dickson's (my mom's side). My uncle built a massssive porch where we all hang out. There's an outdoor kitchen, bar, dinning room table, hammocks, and a fire pit. Davis was completely occupied with his cousins...riding the polaris and playing football...so I got to enjoy putting my feet up by the fire. Other than having to use an outhouse and sleep in a camper, it was very comfy and cozy. I even did a little hunting with my dad, we saw a buck, but didn't exactly have a clear shot.

This was the first year in a very long time that we didn't head to Austin or College Station for the traditional football game. While we missed it, I can't complain because the Aggies are doing so well (so well that UT is probably relieved they didn't play us this year) and of course it gave us some extra time to be home and get all our Christmas decorations out!
