Merry Christmas

This years celebrating will be different with everyone having different schedules. We need to be flexible and have as much fun as possible.

Family dinner
 Buffalo Wild Wings
Everyone has their favorites.
This left time to joke, tease, and even a few laughs.

Christmas Survey what is your favorite treat?

Rylee - Muddie Buddies


Reganne - Pretzel Rolo's
Never made before but cool to try.

Mine - Sugar Cookies

Ryder - Snickerbars
I tried a swap of maple syrup for the
corn syrup.
Huge fail!!
Sometime trying to be healthier just doesn't work.


All hands on deck for
Christsmas Eve Dinner
We are excited to have Ruston's family with us.

Reganne's yummy, cheesy mac & cheese.

Christmas morning came a little to early for some of us.

Fun to watch the gifts for each other.
They are so creative.

Rylee & Ruston 
gifted Ryder with a scratch off map.
He can keep track of all his trips.

Clean up

Rylee even made custom

Who could throw this away?

Christmas rolls for lunch.

It was a great week spending time as a family. We will take every second, minute, hour, or days they are able to spend with each other. We also hope that everyone had a great Christmas as well.

Spreading Christmas Cheer

What better way to do that than more decorations. Lights to be exhact! We headed over to Rylee & Ruston's to surprise them. 

Ryder came along
to help.

Surprise blown!!
Rylee came out to supervise.
Plus tell Dave he shouldn't be on the ladder.

The lights need to be untangled.
Which supervisor will take the job?
None! 
I stepped in to get it done.

Dave once again 
climbed the ladder to finish the job.
He has amazing balance and finished quickly.


Looks great!!
We did a little driveby to check it out.

The Grinch!!
He is back in his spot glaring at anyone who
walks by.

Christmas spirit is in full swing at out house. It was fun surprising our kids.

Ranger doing his best to 
hold still.

Look what Reganne found.
More dogs!

Come visit Grease Monkey!!
Maybe share some popcorn with us.

Welcome!
How can we help you?

Catching a nap.
Having a van to stretch out in 
is the best.


Ruston is amazing
a new hobby making jewelry.

Encouraging Ryder to try
as well.

I do believe the
the dogs wore him out.

It's going to be a fun month. Bring it on!!
