We were continually busy while we were home and loved catching up with friends and family.
My parents' 40th wedding anniversary was this past August. So, we threw them a big party in December when I made it home!

Catherine and Doug arranged a horse drawn carriage ride through Fort Worth to look at the Christmas lights! What fun - even in the freezing cold!

Rocking at Guitar Hero - World Tour!


Tea with the Healy Girls

Kristin, Tara, and I at the Texas Tech - Ole Miss Cotton Bowl game - unfortunately the Red Raiders could not pull off a win, even though I did wear RED!! (the UT hat was a must as it was a sunny day and it was the only hat I had in Dallas!)

Cameron, Gary, and I ventured out to Phoenix to watch the Longhorns win the Fiesta Bowl! Hook 'em Horns! We were fortunate to meet up for lunch with the "Tri-City Tailgaters." Thanks again Adam for lunch! Sorry y'all missed it!


Gary bought the girls a swing set for Christmas. He, Doug, and Cameron took on the task to assemble it over a cold weekend in FW! At least it warmed up on day 2 of the build!
