We spent the Christmas weekend with Kolby's family. Kason & Sarah came up from Houston and Kassidy was home from UT. Kolby's grandparents were also in town, so we had quite the gathering! It was a lot of fun to spend so much time together and we had a great time playing games, watching movies and eating some really good food. On Christmas day we all went to Kolby's other grandparents' house to share a delicious meal with some more family. On Saturday the boys faced the cold weather and played a round of golf and the girls went wedding dress shopping with Kassidy. The rest of the weekend we just layed low, hung out, and tried to stay out of the bad weather. It was a perfect Christmas and we loved seeing everyone together!
I still haven't mastered the art of remembering to take pictures, but here are at least a couple. This was our first Christmas to spend with Maya because we were in Australia last year and she was at boarding school the year we got married.
This was Christmas morning. Kolby got this flannel shirt from Kassidy and I don't think he's taken it off since. The boy loves flannel these days.
Maya and her cousin, Molly, chewing on the same 2" long bone toy despite the long rope right next to them.
This picture is a little blurry, but here we are watching Wall-E with everyone and snuggling as a family.
We got together with my family the following week for "re-Christmas". We pretended that Tuesday was Christmas Eve and that Wednesday was Christmas Day. We went to see the Sherlock Holmes movie, played games, made cut-out cookies, got crazy with the Wii, and again ate a lot of good food. It actually snowed on re-Christmas Eve, too. Two white Christmases in one year, who would have thought?!?
Making cut-out cookies. We've done this every year since the beginning of time.
Re-Christmas Eve.
Brad & Remy got my dad coveralls for Christmas so he can stay warm while he's working on his tractor down at the ranch. I couldn't resist the photo op. Neither could Russell.
We broke out the Wii for the first time in awhile. It was a good call.

On all accounts, it was a great Christmas and we were so fortunate to get to see everyone from both of our families. Another advantage to living close by!

I know, I can't believe Dan & I missed all the snow ya'll got for Christmas! We left before it started. :( Those Wii photos are hysterical - I'm sure your family is plotting elaborate revenge right now. :)
Love the pics of your dad and Russell. Looks like they are trying to "tune in" but to what source we will never know. Maybe they should place foil on their heads first.
Awww, your dog is smiling too in that first pic. :)
