Day with Pam and Dinner with the Fam

We went out west to visit Grandma Margie's friend, Pam. She has a wonderful house that is about 45 minutes away from my house. She also had a new puppy that the kids had fun playing with. He is a feisty little dog. 

We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse.

Christmas Day 2015

Christmas was really fun this year since we got to share it with more people. Grandma Margie, Papa Malcolm and Paige really added to the fun. I know there are some strange pictures posted here. I got a few lenses for the iPhone in my stocking. We were all very spoiled and have lots of fun things to play with. 

Christmas Eve 2015

The holidays are starting off quite fun with family this year. My mom & step-dad came to town before Halloween. They are staying in an RV park about 20 minutes away. We have gone up to see my step-sister & her family several times. My sister came today.  She'll be here from Dec 24th until today (Jan 1st). We haven't been around family during the holidays for the last 4 years. It is especially nice to have my mom around to do a lot of the cooking.

This evening (Christmas Eve), we had a special dinner and talent show. Here our Santa place settings:

Then we had a talent show. I read the Night Before the Night Before Christmas, which is shorter than the Night Before Christmas. It is quite funny.

Lexi and Paige were next. They sung a song that Lexi wrote:

Jordan was next with the 12 days of Christmas. This is a song he LOVES to sing, especially when he is taking a bath:

My mom recited a clever poem about a boy that didn't believe in Santa.

My step-father wrapped it up with a song that Lexi & Paige helped a little with:



Finally, we opened our one present on Christmas Eve to find that it is always what we get the night before Christmas - our pjs.
