Merry Christmas

After a late night Christmas morning comes really fast.  Ryder waited patiently until maybe 7:00 am.  We then let him loose to get the girls up which took a lot of work.  While everyone made it slowly downstairs the dogs were eager to be right in the middle of it.

Dexter found his new toy
all by himself.
He proudly showed it off to everyone.

Reganne's present to Dad
I believe he was surprised.

Another surprise from Reganne.
Cherry Chocolates!!
She loved the story about Grandma & Grandpa Waters
and wanted him to remember it as well.

Rylee loving new punching bag & gloves.

Ryder loving his Xbox accessories
They will teach him how to drive.

Finally I an wear my Doc Martins

The presents were all opened and the girls headed back to bed.  We started a new tradition of Christmas Morning Breakfast with the Wheelers.  Dacoda & Ryder were starving and dying to eat.

The Dads were cooking.

It was really chilly & rainy
to eat outside.
They did an awesome job.

Time for a nap and it's only 9:30.  

After a long nap everyone was starving and ready to eat again.  Time for more Christmas fun.

Ryder's present a large Nerf gun.
This boy is in heaven.

Let me show you how it works.

Lets start another tradition . We have tried it in the past without much success.  However, the kids are growing up way to fast.  There needs to be documentation of how they are growing and changing.  More important how we are expanding.

Using auto take.
Dacoda didn't quite make it.
I do love the Superman effect.

Much better.

Time to play
Ginger had to play.

And play...

It was a great day full of family, surprises, and yummy food.  Only 364 days until the next celebration.  It may take some of us longer to recoop.
