Our 2009 Christmas

You know it is so nice to have adult children...well it was nice to have young ones as well but when they become adults it is another nice phase in parenthood. Like.... they take their turns hosting holidays :) Not only did Len and Kel have this year's Thanksgiving but our early Christmas as well and then we come to Texas and Ry and Jen make sure that we have a very nice day on December 25th. You know we are in Texas and instead of turkey or ham, Jen brewed up a great batch of chicken jalapeno chili. It was so yummy and a very nice day. Not only was the food and company good but we then watched Abs open her presents. Pictures? Of course there are pictures:)

Oooooooooo
You think so huh?

Aint I the best present ever?
Auntie Kelly...your gift was a hit here too. Abs loved the train...good job all around Auntie!Ya gotta wonder....what the heck? Daddy and Gramps (and Peeko too of course) trying to convince Abs that this thing really isn't scary to crawl into....maybe it was who was in it that created the bit of fear in her?

While Jen cleaned up the kitchen and I washed a load of clothes the guys had their usual game of hold'em. Once again David ended up with all of the chips. BTW Jen did let us know that she too beat Ry in what he THINKS is his game!
Thanks again Jen and Ry for a very nice day...more to come in the next couple of weeks I am sure. Whatchya cooking up next Jen?
