> Whew hew, Christmas is over, don't get me wrong I love the holidays. I love speanding time with my friends and family and getting to have big family get togethers. My reason for being glad it is all over, well that means camping season is getting closer and closer. YEAH! The winter just drains me, it gets dark here like at 5:30 and well my inside clock seems to think if it is dark & cold I should be sleeping.Crazy cause when we are camping I always stay up to at least until midnight and then bounce out of bed like a boomarang by 7 or 8 am. Hmmm what's up with that? Our Christmas weekend was very busy, but very nice. Christmas Eve we hosted our big family dinner, followed by a gift exchange. It was a beautiful day. The weather was nice, the jager and red bull were cold and hiding out on the picnic table, just waiting for Terra and I. Ooops wait that was a secret. Hey we had like 50 people here and a little relaxing juice never hurt anyone. LOL
People were everywhere! Gifts were open and gift wrap was flying.
A big suprise was announced...in a rather neat way
Yup, grand baby #6 is on it's way.
Hubby and I named Faythe "Peanut" the day she came home from the hospital, so baby #2 shall be "Cashew". Tooo cute..
Here are a few of my fave up and personal pics from Christmas Eve. I love to say "Cheese" and see how quick someone can pose. LOL
Terra, my sister. Yup, she is a pro at posing.
Justin, our son. He just loves the camera.
Sandy, my beautiful sister.
She is the mellow one. Ok not always.
Dean, Sandy's hubby.
"He does exsist"
Dean hasn't ever been to camp and everyone jokes that he is a figment of our imagination.
Yolanda, our daughter-in-law.
It is too funny, Yolanda can stop in the middle of anything a cheese.
Chad, our son-in-law
He always gets to laughing when it is his turn to "cheese".
Jamie, our oldest baby
Jamie never takes a bad picture.
David, my nephew
Caught him sneakin a taste before dinner.
Shelby, my niece.
"Cheese"
Christmas morning was quiet, Little Man slept like til 8:30 then the fun began.
The one thing he really had been asking for was a BB Gun, oh my!
Daddy thought it was a good ideal, so he is now the very proud owner of a Red Ryder!
Little Man also got a basketball, he had to try it out.
After all the presents were open and we got the house where we wouldn't kill ourselves tripping over toys, we headed to shoot the Red Ryder
Little Man is a pretty good shot. He can hit the target. Yeah!
Afternoon came and we got ready for round 3.
Hubby was brushing out his hair and well we got this rare pic of him with his hair down.
He has more hair than me.
You know the old saying...The longer you are with someone, the more you look like them.
Well, hmmm maybe it is true. LOL
Christmas night we have our older kids and grand babies over to open gifts. I think they still believe...
Justin and Jamie got the honor "job" of passing out all the gifts.
