Christmas 2008 w/ the Elrods

How do you celebrate the Holiday season in South Texas?
You go dove huntin'. Everybody knows that.




















Don't worry...R's gun is just a toy. It doesn't even make a bang, but he sure does!!




















Sorry, I don't have pictures of B hunting. He sat with Papa on the other side of the tank and that was just way too far for this out-of-breath pregnant lady to walk. We did hear them shooting at dirt clods when they had decided no more doves were flying!















Along w/ Christmas, hunting, fishing, New Years, and hunting we also celebrated Victor's birthday.

Here he is showing off gifts carefully selected by his two best buddies (a box of Magic Tricks from R and a container of bolts and nuts from B.) Not sure if there is some hidden message there, but they just knew he needed both.






























I don't have the pictures of our Christmas celebration w/ Pappaw, Jan, and Nana. Those pics are currently in New Zealand w/Pappaw (my camera was misplaced during their visit) but when he returns I will post a few.

Hey, look at it this way by posting Christmas pics in February I will be doing my part to keep Christmas in our hearts all year. You are welcome. :)

Great pictures of Victor and R hunting! So cute! Think Victor will insist on taking Aubrey one day?

Glad you all had fun!
