Chance Christmas

We always do my side of the family's
Christmas early.  Everyone is so busy around
the holidays, it just makes it easier.  
Tab, Jason, & Landree came down for 
the long weekend.  We had a really great time!







Santa's Helpers passing out the goodies


This was Landree's first Christmas!
He was so excited seeing all the toys he got!





This was a major axe commercial moment right here!
Yes those are golf balls.  If you have seen the
commercial then you know what I mean!


We did a Chinese gift exchange for the grown ups.
Here are the boys with their final goodies!


And the girls...I love my new dishes!
This was a great idea!  We had a blast 
exchanging gifts this way.


 Granny loved her new crock pot too!


Mom and Dad trying to figure out the clue to the
gift they will receive next Christmas!


The boys with their favorite gift!
A PS3 from Aunt Tab & Uncle Jason!




Landree relaxing in his new Elmo chair!



This is how tired Ry was by the end of the night!
He fell asleep in Buddy's bed while he was watching TV!

Race Day!

Time once again for the Turkey 200!
First car to go the full 200 laps wins!
And this was the lucky car to give it a 
shot this year...





 Gentlemen - Start your engines!


57 cars started the race



The boys love watching their daddy race!




Cody just had to try and worm in with us.



And the winner is...


Not number 77   :(
But they did complete the whole race!  :)
Only 23 cars finished the race.



Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving!  We are 
so blessed to have such wonderful family 
to share it with!  My Granny can cook some good 
food too!!!  There were no hungry bellys today!

The "professional" carvers!

Some of our wonderful feast!
All cooked by my Granny!
She wouldn't let us bring anything!




The boys were so hyper!  I sent them
outside and they decided to do some wrestling!




It was Cody and Kade's turn for the wishbone.


Kado was the winner!


 My handsome nephew Landree!


I am not sure if they knew he was there!?


Bailey had his Thanksgiving feast too!
He got the ham bone while the other pups
watched him eat it!  He was in heaven!!!

Cooking & Kado

We finally got to see our Kado this week!
The boys were so excited waiting
for him at the airport.


All together again!


The boys each made their own dessert
this year for our Thanksgiving/Christmas.
I love cooking with my boys!

Cody made a pineapple upside 
down cake from scratch!


Rylee made chocolate peanut butter bars!

He couldn't wait to lick the beaters!

Kade made Mississippi Mud Brownies!
Cody wouldn't leave Kades side.  So he 
wormed into the picture.  


Here is Cody in his very own 
Indian head band he made at school.
