Texas->Arkansas->Tennessee->Mississippi!
As tedious as it is to drive (we are crazy), it's always so much fun when the whole family gets together and we get to see everyone on both sides. It's harder and harder as adults (ewwww adults? Who has time for that?!) to fit in work schedules and such to get everyone together, but we do what we can! From green bean casserole (my fave!) to homemade fudge (also my fave!) to strawberry pretzel pie (is that what it is called? Also my super fave!), the list goes on an on. Memaw does not disappoint, and I can only hope that I represent her cooking gene that was passed down to me (we think so at least), with flying colors. Her food is unbelievable. Go Meems! Also making an appearance was the traditional B-I-N-G-O games, and then countless hours of Mexican Train, which I am happy to brag that I am, ahem, the standing 3 time champion. We also were gifted with such an amazing invention I mean selfie stick, which will be thoroughly enjoyed!
We then packed up and headed North to see the other side, and my view was constant and rainy the whole time. I pretty much only really need to pack maybe 3-4 pairs of sweatpants for any future trips, because that's all I lived in the entire time and it was delightful!
And when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a Blockbuster! Rare times, these days! I'm documenting history, I'm thinking!
Overall, I didn't take as many pics but also it was more the conversation and the ridiculous amounts of football that I've been watching the past 3 days straight to blame for that. As always, it was good to see and catch up with everyone and hope to try and not make a it just a once a year thing, but this dang adulting thing is to blame. We also did see some of the tornado damage from before Christmas that passed through not 15 minutes from town, which was also very scary to see. Keep your family close, and always have a tornado plan since it's crazy out there these days!
Mississippi Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!
