As our Christmas present to the kids this year, we wanted to give them the gift of memories. So we took them on a trip to a ranch in East Texas that has some guesthouses. We started off making memories right away when one of us ran over a small tree stump and had to have a flatbed tow truck lift the car off of it! ;( Luckily, there was no damage done to the car! 
The house we stayed in was so cozy and fun. It had lots of room for the kids to play, plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably, and cable. Everything you would need was provided at the house. All we had to bring was clothes and groceries! The place also had a pin outside with miniature horses, goats, and chickens...of course, there were plenty of cows around too! The kids spent a lot of time in the pin with the animals...just chasing them around trying to catch them. Sometimes they caught one...everytime we laughed! It was so funny to watch. There was also a large pond right beind our house where we fished and rode in the canoe. The kids loved the canoe-even though it was cold and a little rainy when they were going out in it! Chad loved the wood stove in the house and kept the place nice and toasty with a blazing fire! We all had a blast just being together and taking it easy. Enjoying the outdoors, watching movies, chasing the animals, playing boardgames, drinking hot chocolate...doesn't take much to make us happy. Chad and I are so blessed to have such wonderful and grateful children. We will definitely be going back to Lone Star Cattle Company!
Now I understand your facebook pics a little more. What an awesome gift!! Sounds like a lot of fun. Too bad it's so far from us or we'd join you. Loved the Christmas pics, too. You do have some great kiddos, but that's b/c they have such incredible parents raising them!
