Christmas vacation...

John and I drove to EP at the beginning of Christmas break to see family. We weren't quite on the status of the movie "Four Christmases" but we were close with three.

We killed some time on the way with getting our picture taken on the road. Gotta love camera timers!


When we arrived in EP we were greeted by Jim, Michelle, Danielle (who was in for a few days), Ryan and his family. Ryan is getting married to Annie who has three very sweet children.



Here's John with the house cat Posha. His eyes were normal until he saw me.



We had a pre-Christmas visit on the east side which included Grandma and Granddad and then AJ and his familia.



Nat Nat (Natalie) is actually sitting still for her picture and she's looking at the camera!!!


Here's me with AJT IV (Joey). He's such a sweet baby!!!


John and Nicole never finished their game of Candyland. Too many distractions!


Christmas Eve was spent back on the west side with John's side of the familia. We went to church then ate some great eats and played cards.

John and Brad before the church service began.



Jim sang in the choir.





Our three Christmases begins...

We started our day at AJ and Adriana's house. The girls were very excited because Santa had been there.





Then for our second Christmas we got to hang with the grandparents.




For our third Christmas we were again on the west side with John's side. We had steak and lobster for Christmas dinner. I'm not one for seafood but I became a fan of lobster...delicious!




Our three Christmases were wonderful and we enjoyed every part! We will get another Christmas in January when John's mom and Greg come to Phoenix. We look forward to that! Next year...Christmas in Horseshoe Bay with my mom and Dick.
