Zilker Tree

With no Trail of Lights in Austin this year, we had to settle for just going to check out the tree! We had a great time with our friends! We came, we saw, we spun!

Another Santa...

we have seen our fair share of Santa's this year... here's another picture to share... you got to love the attitude you can see all over my little guy as he cuts his eyes over and grins!

Holiday Photos

Check out our family Christmas pictures! So blessed this year! I love my family.. enough said!

Baby Jesus?!?

Every year our church has a live nativity... when Branson was a baby we played the holy family... last year we opted out of participating... this year a friend asked us if we'd be the holy family again... of course I said yes... then as the day approached, I realized that baby Jesus was about 11 months too old, would be talking/babbling, have HER ears pierced, and would never consent to lying in a manager! And likely the littlest shepherd would need to be a cousin of the holy family since I didn't anticipate that he would do his part without us. I was pleasantly surprised with my children's performance last night... the first show Aubrie and Branson were so fascinated by the sheep and goats that they did perfectly... the second show was less perfect, but a wonderful account of the reason for the season!

Christmas Pictures...

Its Santa time again!!!
Here's the best ones of the kids... didn't get a great one of them together so this will have to suffice this year.

Hurst Family Photos

We also try to take a big family picture each year. This year we went with a dress code. I think it turned out great!

Thanksgiving Hurst Hike

Each year we try and visit a Texas State Park or natural area as a family. This is Brandon's first year as he usually has to work. The hike at Pedernales Falls was beautiful!
