Christmas 2009

Here are some pictures from December 2009. Unfortunately, they're not in the right order, but there's just too many to move around. Sigh...

December was a great month of course. Christmas time is my favorite time of the year.

LOVE IT!

We spent Christmas Day at my brother-in-law's house. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins and seeing Grammy & Papa.

The kids spent some time outside; unfortunately, the snow melted off quick.

Here's Daddy getting some exercise.

The big girls are ready for their ride. They were almost dragging the ground.

Daddy and Uncle Paul played LOTS of Big Game Hunter. (Snore)

We had our first WHITE CHRISTMAS together as a family. It started snowing Christmas Eve and we woke up to a white Christmas. We went outside as a family to play in the snow Christmas morning before it melted off. Where were all the neighbors? They missed it.

We had a blast having a snow ball fight. The snow reminded me of all the great times I had as a child playing in the West TX snow and the NM/CO mountains.

We had Christmas morning at home, which is our family tradition to be home for Santa Claus and Christmas Eve service at our church.

Thanksgiving 2009

Last Thanksgiving, my sister and her 3 kids came to our house. We had a great time, especially the kids who always have a blast playing together. With 5 active kids, there's LOTS of energy so we spent A LOT of time at different parks letting the kids play. So fun to see how all of the kids are growing up and their little personalities...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree on some things. LOL. Dee and I aren't sure how we did it, but we make really cute kids. :)
