Kicking Off the Holiday Season

We spent the weekend in Fredericksburg, and the Halfmann family joined us so that we could kick off the holiday season with our annual Christmas card photo shoot!

We got into town Friday evening and enjoyed dinner at Social Haus, one of our faves. Saturday morning, the Halfmanns arrived around 11:00 and came by to see our house! We gave them the quick tour and got to meet Brandon's cute girlfriend, Kaitlyn. Fun!

Then we headed into town to have lunch and do some shopping. We decided on Pasta Bella for lunch, which was yummy and made Kelsey very happy! Then we did a stretch of stores and they were able to get some Christmas shopping done. Around 4:00, we headed to Fiesta Winery to do our photo shoot. 

It ended up being a pretty good spot, and also allowed for some wine intermingled :) I think we were able to get some really cute pics, can't wait to see them all! Now to get to work on our Christmas card.

After photos, we headed home to feed Poppy and then met back up with them at the Brewery for dinner. Yes, while in Fred, you EAT! We enjoyed spending time with these wonderful people! After dinner, we headed down to the Marketplace to see the huge Christmas tree and wooden German tower. Lovely! The whole Marketplace was lit up and beautiful...in all of our 15 years of going there, we've never really been there for Christmas. So neat to see! Crazy enough, they also had a temporary ice skating rink set up! 

Sunday, we had a relaxing morning and then met up with the Halfmanns for lunch. We took them out to Alamo Springs Cafe for burgers and Krusty fries, and YUM YUM!

With very stuffed bellies, we all then got on the road to Abilene...now we are getting ready for the week ahead. I'm getting my hair done on Tuesday, and then Wednesday evening Chris and I are heading back to Fred for a LONG weekend yay!!!! We are taking off on Thursday and Friday. He'll probably work remotely Thursday because he has some phone meetings...but we will be in Fred and I'm looking very forward to it.

Hope you all have a great week ahead!!
