There will be no Christmas recap here because it was quiet and uneventful, which is never a bad thing. However, I will say that having the capability to FaceTime with family is always the highlight when we can't be together.
Saturday we headed off to Shreveport for the Independence Bowl, Miami and South Carolina were playing.
This bowl game is sponsored by Duck Commander and Buck Commander so the whole Robertson Family was there (if you don't know who I'm talking about it's the family from Duck Dynasty). Missy and her boys sang the National Anthem and Si did the coin toss. It was pretty cool to see them all out there.
The game got off to a slow start but it was still pretty good. By halftime it started raining again and the temps dipped so we decided to make a break and head for home. I'm glad we left when we did because the roads were just starting to get bad (most of the interstate roads here are back roads and in poor condition with very little light), we could barely see 2 feet in front of us but made it home safely.
I am glad we went maybe next year it won't be raining haha.
I hope you all had a great weekend!
We watched the bowl on TV, so cool you were there.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Facetime makes being away from loved ones on Christmas so much easier!
I'm glad your Christmas was low key and relaxing. I agree - sometimes those are the best kinds!
ReplyDeleteBowl games are always fun, I think!
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas was low key too and IT WAS THE BEST! And facetime is amazing when family and friends are far away.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, someone else actually not doing a Christmas recap, haha. I feel you - nothing really to report/blog about here either. But I'm glad you guys have FaceTime (my mom and sister still aren't on the iPhone train) and found something fun to do!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Glad you got to watch some of the games before the weather got bad.
ReplyDeleteFun! That bowl seems to be notorious for bad weather. I remember when I was one year when A&M played there, it was snowing!
ReplyDeleteQuiet holidays are indeed the best! I'm glad you both had fun and arrived back home safe and sound! Spending time with the family, even if it's "just" FaceTime is awesome :-) I hope the two of you arrive safe and sound in 2015!
ReplyDelete:) I agree, FaceTime is amazing!
DeleteI LOVE the Robertson family! Very cool that you were able to attend the game and see some of them - near or far :)
ReplyDeleteOur christmas was quiet too, which is exactly how we like it! I totally agree that being able to facetime is a god send though!!
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all enjoyed some of the bowl game.
ReplyDeleteWe had an ok Christmas day, don't wanna repeat of it again. Sunday was much better with our kids and grandkids celebrating a bit late. One of the sons of Duck Dynasty was here on 4th July at the rodeo we were at. I recognized someone as we were walking and later he was introduced during the rodeo...cool! Glad you had a good time and you got home safe. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFun! Glad you guys had a nice relaxing Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize that family made enough money to sponsor a bowl. That's amazing!
