Christmas Pics!

I've been meaning to make a Christmas wrap-up post for a couple days now. Finally here it is, on the eve of New Year's Eve. As most know this was our first Christmas with my mom visiting from Phx. So her first TX Christmas. The weather behaved for the most part. A few rather cold days but nothing too extreme. No arctic blast! An arctic blast is actually due to hit us tomorrow. Cody's New Year is not going to start off like he planned.....Sorry Code, no 80 degree days in the foreseeable future.

Back to Christmas, we had a lovely Christmas. And both of us commented that this visit with my mom was definitely one of our overall faves. I'm sure our fur-babies enjoyed having grammie around. Piper got to know her better and without a doubt the little girl in the house loves her grammie. I do believe she will remember her from now on. Next time Piper sees my mom it will be old hat, she won't have to warm up to her.  Cody always gets the award for most vocal when it comes to welcoming grammie. He's a nut! Simon is typical Simon, with his neutral attitude. Not that he's displeased to see her but he's rather neutral on all accounts but food. He's very pro-food!

I believe Christmas morning is always my favorite. We get up in a lazy manner, take the dogs out in a hurried manner, then get around to opening gifts. The boys still love opening gifts. Yes, they open their own gifts. A skill Piper has yet to imitate. LOL!  After opening gifts homemade cinnamon rolls, hot cocoa, and a Christmas movie are the focus. Since getting married we've tried to implement our own little traditions. I'm certainly a traditionalist.

Below are some pics of our Christmas Eve at my in-laws and our Christmas morning:



 My father-in-law avoiding opening a gift to run the camera. He got away with that for only awhile!


 Aww, doesn't my mom-in-law look good! Love this pic!

 Our nephew, Dylan, striking a pose!

 Me, either striking a pose or getting annoyed at my husband for taking my pic yet again. ;)



Christmas Morning:

 Code-man! He loves this toy, his new fave! A skunk!

 Simmie! I can basically only tell because I remember dressing him in red!


 Piper hiding under the tree, slightly hard to spot in this pic.

 The boys are always ready to lend a paw when opening gifts! :)
