Oh, there she is.
Ok, now Brady, hang on to Drew while we get Ada's hair out of her face......
And there you have it. Nice work, team, G'Ma is happy. Now you can go play:)
But look who showed up -
Jude swears he was a good boy ALL YEAR:)
Coincidentally, Brady was a good boy all year:)
Ada wants none of this Santa business. She'll take the present, but only because he's forcing it on her....
Drew is not sure he trusts what's in this package. He's heard those stories about sticks and lumps of coal......
It was a Christmas Eve day at the ranch, filled with family and food; a few bloody mary's, a few oyster shooters, a few people in the sauna, and in keeping with the reverence of the day, a couple of rocket launchings in the field.....
Christmas Day at Andy & Jen's house turns up a couple of new scooters
So who needs all those presents?? Bring on the bubbles:)
A nice little group around the snacks in Andy & Jen's kitchen.......
And then, the reason for the season:
Happy Birthday to you....happy birthday TOOO you, happy BIRTHday, Baby Jesus, happy birthday tooo YOU...........
Christmas, 2011. It's a wrap. At my house, the tree, the lights and all the decorations are still up and operational. I like the way they light up these long dark evenings. I would leave them up all year, but there's a point where they become SO not cool. I try to go the full 12 days of Christmas so I'm hoping the tree doesn't burst into flames in the next 4 days. I also hope we can somehow manage to keep the magic alive for these four little wide-eyed believers. Today is January 1, 2012. Wow. A brand new year; the last one gone like a bunch of dry leaves on a windy day. I know I will remember 2011 because the growth and changes have been so amazing and so constant. Ahead is a blank canvas and I have four paintbrushes ready to go. God willing, we can keep the children well and healthy so they can create a 2012 masterpiece. Happy New Day:)
