I hope everyone had a great holiday. We spent Christmas in Malta with CK's family and had a really nice time. Christmas is definitely a lot of fun with kids around, especially kids that are young enough to still get excited by the magic of the day as much as the gifts.
Reese and CK both got 4-wheelers this Christmas. We need to talk to Asher about drinking and driving...
CK's grandparents, Mae and Gay (95!!) joined us for the day and a poker game. Craig's sister Darlene (2nd from right), her husband Billy (not pictured) and Gay's sister (far right) also joined us on Christmas Day.

Sometimes the simplest gifts are the best...Asher loves the classic hammer and "nails"...he may have gotten that from Daddy
Reese modeling her new hat and sweater from Great Nana
Uncle Steve reading Cinderella...Reese spent about an hour going to each adult and asking them to read this book to her...again and again...until she practically had the whole thing memorized
Then she decided to read it to her dolly
Reese checking out the loot before we opened gifts
At least I got one of them to smile...
Kaitlyn and her winning smile

Andrew's toothy grin
You may notice that some of these pictures are of better quality than our other ones. I wish I could say it's because I have become a better photographer but really it's because Santa brought me the one thing I asked for...a new Digital SLR camera...makes even this amateur's pictures 10x better. Can't wait to see how great the pictures are when I finally figure out how to use it!Merry Christmas everyone. Best wishes to you and your families.
