Annual Tour of Texas - 2010

It's right around the corner! The Benich Family Annual Tour of Texas! Every year we say we're not going to travel all over the place, every year we do. I try so hard not to complain. We travel so much because we have so much family! How do you complain about that? However, the reality of it is with two children, it is hard, hectic, and wears us down. But 'TIS THE SEASON!

Our line up this year.......good thing I'm still TOTALLY in love with my CAR!!!

Monday - Dec. 20
For multiple reasons, we're doing our own little Tom Benich family Christmas on Monday, December 20th. Brock wrote Santa a letter, and was able to deliver it via Jingle, our elf (who sits on a shelf). Santa wrote back that if Brock and Aubree were very good, he would deliver presents on the 20th. This will give the kids a couple days to play and enjoy their toys before we hit the road. It also gives Mom and Dad time to clean, grocery shop, and prepare for traveling and hosting.

Tuesday - Dec. 21
Playing, Packing, and Grocery Shopping

Wednesday - Dec. 22
Head out to Conroe to Tom's Dad's house and meeting up with Craig, Cathy & Avery!

Thursday - Dec. 23
All day in Conroe.

Friday - Dec. 24
Head to Richmond early to visit Tom's Grandparents.
Soon afterwards, head to El Campo to see my Dad and Grandma, plus the whole Dornak gang!
Saturday - Dec. 25
Early start for Christmas Mass in Victoria.
Then Christmas with my Mom and Grandma, and the whole Franklin gang!
After lunch we'll head back to San Antonio where we'll host the first of two Christmases in San Antonio. Tom's Mom and his siblings/family will arrive.
Sunday - Dec. 26
Continue Christmas with the Benich side.
Monday - Dec. 27
The Benich side will clear out and make room for the Dornak side to head into San Antonio.
Dede will be back from Mississippi so we'll be able to have Mom and all us siblings here for our family Christmas.

Tuesday - Dec. 28
Continue Christmas? Or, Tom's Birthday? How about BOTH!

Wednesday - Dec 29
Is anyone else tired of Christmas????? ;-)
Hopefully some time to rest is in our future.
