Christmas 2025 was a success

    We had a great Christmas and, as a precursor to the great Christmas, we had a fun visit with cute Reese. She's just the cutest! 

We love a Reese visit!

An early Christmas gift for me from my best “show-watching” buddy, Kason.

    Now on to the Christmas fun and photos, starting with Christmas Eve, which was small and simple.

Christmas Eve gift time.

Christmas morning lineup! It’s definitely getting smaller.

Starting with stockings. Plenty of candy, trinkets and socks.

Charlie had little to no surprises when it came to her Christmas gifts, but she was happy to be back with all her great purchases.

McClane is feeling pretty pleased with his Christmas haul.

Meet Brock, "The Welder". (This should be fun.)

And meet Carter, "The Drummer". (This should be even 'more' fun.)

A new coat and a little heavier weighted vest for me.

The hat Greg said he, 'NEEDED!" And a cool Sousvide tool/appliance/device.

The newlyweds opening their gift, an 'apple-play' device for their 'new' car.

Mark and Rio opening a few gifts from us, mostly small, but fun things. Not photographed, but my favorite gift, a t-shirt for Mark that says "I trip over my Wiener" with a cute picture of a wiener dog that looks just like their cute dog, Lou.

And Kayli happily opening a box of chocolates that led to an envelop of cash.

    And then the fun of watching these cute girls opening their gifts.

You’ve got to love Tanner filling in for Elliot who was done posing for photos.

The cutest drum players.

    Time for the sibling gift exchange. There were some psych-outs, missing gifts and silliness but overall everyone was happy. 

 A couple kids are going to have to wait for their gift, hence the middle finger display.

Let the 'FUN' begin!

    

    Now on to the New Year, 2025 is nearly a wrap!
