Family Time and Winter Break

GRRR!!!! I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH BLOGGER RIGHT NOW!  THE NEW EDITING PROGRAM IS JUST NOT MAKING ME HAPPY!  So hopefully this isn't too random and I finally got everything in order.  Enjoy our Christmas!

Melissa, Ben and Braden came down on Christmas day. We had lots of fun as always opening presents together. The little ones especially liked helping grandpa pass out the gifts. My brothers and father do not want their pictures on my "dumb blog" so I will spare them and all you blog readers and not post any of their Christmas morning pictures....but here are the cute boys :)




Present from Santa - big car rug and hot wheels cars. I'm hoping that in our new house he'll put this in the middle of his bedroom floor and play quietly for hours :)

Present from Grandma and Grandpa (in case my child needs more injuries in his first three years of life)

Later that afternoon we got together with my mom's family. About 50 people! That's 2 grandparents, 14 siblings or in-laws and 29 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren (there are more grand and great-grand, they just weren't in attendance) Keaton was a little camera happy. Sorry peeps if this is not your best pic but it's not to bad for a 3 year old boy

Our family really does not enjoy having their pictures taken too much but it makes my mom happy to have us all together. So here is the family pic...unedited, not photo shopped, just they way we all really looked one night without much notice.


Yikes! Well at least we're all together!


A few other winter break activities. Keaton and I watched some large dogs (or maybe small horses) for a weekend. He loved it, though he did get a bit scared when they were excited.


Nothing like looking a dog it the eye!


We also took a trip to the zoo. That membership has now officially more than paid for itself. Braden had never been to a big zoo just an aviary and Keaton always loves the animals. It was fun to have grandma and grandpa along too. What a nice morning!




It's been a bit of a crazy year.  Welcome 2010!

Hey Deanna, I've finally had time to breathe and do some blog hoppin' and saw the pictures! Ha ha! That was hilarious with Keaton taking pictures. He really is good. And I loved the family pic of you guys! Sometimes the ones that are just taken randomly are the best ones.
