Merry Christmas!!

Once again, Christmas came and went leaving a path of destruction behind (my messy house)....but as usual, it was great! Christmas eve was a blast - we made cookies on Christmas Eve and looked at lights that night after delivering the cookies. We had quite the full car - it was me, Aunt Joyce, Grandma, Nana, and Riley...It was fun, except for Riley being kinda cranky. She was anxious to get home to see if Santa had left presents while we were gone. Of course to her disappointment he didn't. Nonetheless, she went to bed later that night after leaving Santa French Fries, Ranch, cookies and a glass of egg nogg.

We started off Christmas morning with me and Riley opening presents from Santa. She was so excited he had been at the house the night before because some of the cookies and fries we had left him were gone... did I ever mention fries and ranch were one of my favorite snacks??!!

All in all Christmas was great. Everyone got lots of great presents this year, check out the pics below!!!

Here's Riley and Aunt Joyce...doesn't she look content?? A nice thank you hug...



Here I am giving Riley a big kiss for my new necklace (see it around my neck)...I've been wanting this necklace for so long! How did she know??



Here's Riley with a present from her dad. It really is a riot, this toy. If you have kids you may have seen it before. You feed the dog the bottle and when he is done, you set him on his puppy pad and with a little squeeze of his tail, he lifts his leg to pee on the puppy pad!! It was such a riot to watch the two of them try to feed this toy and getting it to pee!



Last but certainly not least, Riley's dad, Shane, and Uncle Andy's Dog, Indra, spent the day with us.

Christmas really was a blast this year. We had so much fun playing Riley's new board game - Operation as well as flying Shane's toy helicopter (from Uncle Andy) around the house! I hope everyone had as great of a time as we did!

Love you all!!
