Christmas time with Tennants
Wow. What a transformation Hendersons! I am sure baby will just love it. Is that a new floor or just a finished floor?
As far as Christmas, things have been busy here in 60 - 80 degree Texas. My parents were here for a week. We rented a house on the Sabinal River in the hill country east of San Antonio and went hiking and rocking throwing for three days. My dad decided to sample every type of beef jerky available, which was also fun.
We went to see the Trans-Siberian orchestra with them and the Hawthornes. Very Cool. It's like Dream Theatre meets Beethoven meets Manheim Steamroller. Matt Swier would love it. Here is a link to some samples:

Now Simone's mom and Nana are here, so the boys are getting lots and lots of presents.
There have been lots of church activities, as well. We did an outreach on Christmas Eve at John and Juli Boeve's new coffee shop that was really successful, celebrated Christmas with 26 pounds of smoked Turkey at the Hawthornes on Christmas Day and are looking forward to a big church New Year's Eve party complete with home-brewed chocolate beer.
Today I am leaving for a couple of days on a hunting trip to East Texas with Michael Hawthorne. I dreamed about bagging my first buck last night.
Interesting tidbit: I invited a guy to church at a pawn shop yesterday. Afterward I thought, now that is the kind of guy we are looking for. Young, looking for answers, willing to entertain lots of ideas, living with his girlfriend, and working in a pawn shop. Good thing there are lots of pawn shops in Austin.

Despite the warm weather- It sounds like y'all had a great Christmas! I would love to see the Transsiberian orchestra sometime!!!! The better part of Christmas day at the LaBarge household was spent watching my 3, 3-year old nieces dancing like fools in their new leotards, tutus, tights and tap shoes. I'm glad you guys got to see family at Christmastime too.

I'm so jealous of all the family camping. You were with me the last time I was camping :) I hope Ben is getting a buck as I type and that it's yummy and not too sad. The Boeve's coffee shop sounds cool.

Hunting totals.
15 ducks
0 deer/hogs - didn't even see any
Duck hunting is the sweetest thing ever. Picture me in full camo crouching in three feet of water with a huge shotgun amidst a bunch of decoys waiting to blow away unsuspecting Mallards. We will now have wild duck gumbo at our New Year's Day gathering.
Next time I am in Michigan I have got to go. Who's game?
Now I have more things to buy. Just what I needed.

He can't like you anymore.
But Bambi thinks you're pretty sweet.
