Early Christmas in Amarillo

Vin and I made a special trip to Amarillo last weekend to visit my Dad's family. We had a fantastic time! Aunt Jan is a wonderful hostess and is so gracious and kind.
Vin got to play with his cousins and he's still asking about "the girls".
A few pictures of our trip.

Playing this his activity book I made. I choose some different activities from those listed here but it was a fairly easy craft and it kept him busy on the plane.

A fuzzy picture of Vin decorting the pink foam tree with Eloise. The tree was a huge hit with the kids.

Dinner with his cousins.


Playng rodeo with Miles, who was a real rodeo cowboy. Vin got to show off his skills and was quite entertaining. We were all waiting on the National Finals to start so we passed the time watching the kids.

Miley had never rodeoed quite like this before but she was excited to try.

And she's down....


Vin's new best friend Bailey. Look at those fantasic furry ears!

Aunt Jan and Uncle Joe on the way to a "tacky" Christmas party. Jan wore a t-shirt corset which is totally NOT her style and so it was especially funny. Uncle Joe is checking her out!

Making friends at the airport showing them his new Pillow Pal that Jan gave him.
