Christmas 2010

December 2010- Christmas Greetings from the Worrell gang.  We had a very blessed Christmas with way too many gifts and lots of time to spend with family.  Because my brother is getting married in just a few weeks in Louisiana we opted not to make the drive twice in one month.  Honestly, it doens't take much to talk me out of a 9 hour drive with kids.  With Brazos barely over his reflux we thought it would be best not to load him up and travel so much.  Plus there was lots to do around here that we never seem to have time to do so we made ourselves home bound for the week and loved it!

These boots were not intended to be a Christmas gift.  We ordered them in October for mid November delivery.  But they arived Christmas Eve.  And a text message from our mail carrier at the post office to tell us they had arrived is just one of the many quaint perks of living in a small town.

Brazos with his new "boots"

just what Pecos wanted

maybe not what Brazos wanted,
but surely what he needs at 7 months old




This was the new piece of equipment Pecos wanted to add to his ranch and working pens.  What 4 year old doesn't need a squeeze chute?  And thank goodness Santa's elves put Worrell Brothers on it so it could be a gift for both of them to enjoy for years to come.  100% pure steel; I think it will be around for a while.
