Christmas

We had a nice Christmas this year. The kids had lots of fun, got great new presents, and we all enjoyed lots of family time.

Reese likes to pose on the fireplace.

Our attempt at a Christmas card picture. No luck at a good one. Maybe a Valentines pic?
Reading "The Night Before Christmas" on our Christmas Eve.

What Santa left.

Very sleepy kids. I had to work early that day before we left, so we had to get the kids up early to have Christmas.

A very excited Raylee with her new bike.

An excited Ryland with his Nintendo DS.

Opening presents.

Tinkerbell.

A dog money bank.

Raylee is into unicorns lately - so she got a webkin unicorn.

We left at noon on Wednesday and headed to Big Spring first. We met my boss, his family, and our secretary for a meal. It was nice to be with all of them again. After eating, we headed to Hobbs to Leland's grandmother's house.

Granny with the great-grandchildren that were there.

We had told Raylee she could change her earrings when we got to Grammy's house. She was excited.

My in-laws watching the kids.

Ryland excited to get a starship Enterprise.

Ryland and Raylee got skates. Ray will need more practice but enjoyed them.

Ryland is already good at it.

We did our gingerbread house in Artesia since we didn't have time at home.

Every year we take a pictures with the kids in the wrapping paper. Reese is not fond of this event (as you can tell). I guess we'll have proof for her later to show how stubborn she was/is.

Leland ended up being sick the entire time we were in Artesia, so he got lots of rest but we still had a great time and enjoyed resting, playing, and laughing. Now to a new year.
