Canon Rebel T3

For Christmas, my inlaws got me a Canon Rebel T3! I love the quality of pictures it takes, even though I have zero experience taking pics.  I'm looking forward to learning about photography, lenses, shutter speeds and more as I explore my camera.  

For now, here's a modpodge of snapshots from our Christmas Vacay in Olney:

Weekend Vacay to Round Rock

This weekend (and part of last week!), we went to Round Rock to visit Stephen's sister Amy & her family.  It was relaxing, fun, and full of laughter, late night chocolate runs, river floating (first time!), and food. Lots & lots of food.

Emma's first time bowling!!

Abby loves 'smoking' French fries! 

Emma 'paid' for lunch with a toy credit card. The awesome waitress took it to the cash register, pretended to swipe the card, then brought E the card back, a pen, and piece of receipt paper. *big tip for her!

Stephen and I escaped for an afternoon of snocones & exploring Round Rock. :) 

Late night chocolate run to Walmart & we walked in to this! Walmart know...

Stephen & Emma played beauty shop. Notice his beautifully painted nails!! (He's so awesome!). 

Abby kicked back at lunch... Until...

...they started singing Happy Birthday to someone. Abby doesn't like birthdays. 

Stephen found Duck Dynasty loofahs. It's too much.

We went tubing on the San Marcos river on Saturday! It was my first time ever & oh my heavens, I LOVE it! It was so relaxing and fun. :) and, I didn't get sunburnt! Yay for SPF 50 baby sunscreen and reapplying.

It was a great weekend and I totally can't wait until next time. 

Thanks Josh, Amy &girls for an awesome time! We love y'all!!
