New Year's Eve

Cody felt that Bryce was ready for his first bb gun, so he went and bought him one after Christmas. As if the boy did not receive enough things for Christmas. Not really, Cody wants to take him hunting next year. So, he is preping him early.

Christmas Day

This is terrible, I know, it is the end of January and I am just now posting Christmas Day pictures.

Christmas Eve...part two

When we got home from Myrt Myrt's house, Bryce informed Bia and I, that Santa was not the one handing out gifts, but Joe. I don't think he told any of the other kids that he has caught on, I hope not anyway. I informed him that Santa has so many houses to drop gifts at that he needs helpers on Christmas Eve to spread the joy and hand out gifts. Luckily, he agreed with me. I guess we will see from this point on, how long it will take him before he no longer believes in Santa and the North Pole.

Christmas Eve...part one

I have finally found some time to sit down and added holiday pictures. I can't believe it takes so long to get to Christmas and then once it is here it is over just like that. Cody, the kids, and I spent Christmas and New Year's with Doug and Beverly along with some of the Griffis family. The family goes all out for Christmas and the kids just love it.

For those of you who don't know what type of festivities during Christmas entail, well, there is a pinata filled to the brim with candy...this year people actually threw candy from buckets, because it would not all fit in the pinata..., Santa comes and visits all the good boys and girls to hand out presents, the grown ups play white elephant, of course we eat and eat and eat...the feast is outrageous..., and we swap gifts.

Jeff: the family redneck, just kidding.


Connie and Wyatt, she is informing him that Santa is here, hurry.Clayton, waiting patiently to hit the pinata.


Waytt, just going with the flow.
I guess Wyatt misundersood, you are supposed to hit the pinata not ride it.Clayton
Wyatt, needing no help at all, he hits his brother all the time, should be able to hit a pinata.

Connie, waiting for the pinata to come back down so she can get a good whach in.

Everyone picking up candy as fast as they can, they all hit the motherload.


And, of course, you have the ones in the house taking a nap, to much excitement for them to handle.
