We left for Texas on Friday, Dec. the 18th at 7pm with our SUV completely loaded down - I honestly don't know how we got everything to fit in there. Bailey sat in my lap the whole 17-hour trip and she did amazing! She sat on a pillow and either took a nap or chewed on her toys. We spent the night in Mobile and finished up the trip on Saturday and arrived into Waco just in time for dinner with my parents. Spencer's parents were at a rehearsal dinner for the wedding we went to on Sunday. Since we were gone for so long, below are a few bulleted highlights/timeline of our trip back to Texas!
Sunday, 20th:
Baylor Men's Basketball game
Shawn and Hali's wedding!
Stayed at the ranch and hung out with Spencer's family!
Monday, 21st:
Hung out with my brother and his wife, my dad (my mom had to work) and Spencer all day! Went to a fun Vietnamese restaurant near Baylor campus that we went to a lot during college, hung around the Baylor campus, went to the Baylor bookstore and had coffee at Common Grounds - my favorite coffee shop ever! A - it is on Baylor campus and B they have my favorite drink ever - Cowboy Coffee. You pick your favorite coffee - mine is Angel Kiss - chocolate with hints of coconut, skim milk, secret sauce (which I think is cappuccino syrup) and it is all served cold! So yummy! We also saw The Blind Side and went to Chuy's for dinner with Spencer's family.
Tuesday, 22nd:
Sadly, I don't remember what we did. Must not have been fun. Ha! JK :) I think we hung out with Allan and Betsy and then went to see Spencer's family??
Wednesday, 23rd:
The girls - my mom, Betsy and I - went to get pedicures and manicures then met the boys for lunch.
Went to Rosa's and saw Spencer's family for dinner then had the Wommack / Gipe family game night challenge! This is a long-running tradition with my family. The Wommack's are really good family friends of ours and they have kids close to my brother and I's age. Well all the kids are married now so every year we try to get together to challenge each other in games! This year we played bunko and we won! yea! We also smoked them in taboo! haha :) We had birthday cake for Betsy, my brother's wife, since they were leaving the next day and we wouldn't be with her to celebrate!
Thursday, 24th:
Christmas Day with my family! Allan and Betsy had planned to spend Christmas Day with Betsy's family so we did our Christmas a day early. We got up, had homemade cinnamon rolls, egg/sausage casserole and a Paula Deen Baked French Toast recipe - it was pretty good! We busted open the presents and we all got a lot of good stuff, even Bailey! :) We saw The Blind Side again with my family! Such a good movie!
Friday, 25th:
Spencer and I, Bailey and my parents drove up to Plano to have Christmas dinner with my dad's side of the family - I think there was close to 30 people total including, aunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts and uncles, second and third cousins and cousin dogs. It was a lot of fun!
When we got back to Waco, we headed over to the ranch and had Christmas dinner with Spencer's family - there was probably close to 15 of us!
Saturday, 26th:
We had Christmas with Spencer's family and hung out with them all day! We all got some good stuff! We started to "panic" at this point because we are not thinking all of our stuff will fit in the car! :)
Sunday, 27th:
Spencer flew back to Jacksonville and I went over to my parents' house with Bailey...
