Back Home with Family

We spent Christmas Eve with Manly Man's family. This is Country Girl with 2 of her favorite cousins. After Christmas, we went to a Mexican Restaurant to celebrate Manly's Sister-in-laws birthday.

This is Manly Man's kid clan. We are missing 1 nephew who lives out of state and wasn't able to come in.



This is my family. It's smaller. My little niece is 20 months and is such a cutie. Her favorite present was a pack of chap stic that she put on everybody and everything! Little Man is with his favorite buddy, his cousin. He is exactly 1 year older and they have always been perfect for each other. I sure miss not being able to have them together more often.

Our family's tradition is for my dad to read the Christmas story to all before we open presents. Sweetie Jolie pushed Poppa along this year, flipping pages before he even got to read! Country Girl claps because the story took about 45 seconds!

On our way back home, we stopped by our future land. The kids can not wait till it becomes ours. They have dreams of hunting the biggest East Texas Buck and catching the Largest Big Mouth Bass. Hopefully it will be ours is about 3 weeks. It should give me more photo opportunities.

Have a safe and Happy New Year! I started my resolution this morning with the kids. I jogged about 1/4th of a mile - it killed me! I'm committed though. I'll let you know how it goes!

Christmas Celebrations

This is our home before Santa comes.
Little Man brings more!
Santa arrives!
Country Girl has Little Man bring all her presents to her. She never moves from that spot! An I touch, another Guitar Hero, lots of games, boots, belt, clothes... she's set for another year, well, maybe another month until her birthday!
Little Man gets his main present, an PSP. Santa was good to him also. He got games, movies, football cards (his new craze), boots, clothes, fishing pole and much more.

They cleaned up and got ready to head to family in the PineyWoods!
