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. :)

Christmas 2008 at the Tipps Home

Well, we officially celebrated Christmas four times. These are some pictures from our celebration in Austin at Jeff and Mindi's house (that is probably a misprint now....I think little Aubrey and all of her toys have taken over the house and her Mom and Dad now live in the garage!)

Brother and sister..............they both look sweet...













and then the truth comes out............














Here is a little boy who loves his Aunt Mindi.














There is a child back there somewhere.
