Lounging around after Christmas dinner, snacking and visiting before we started our game night and opening presents.


Landon had worked 9 straight nights and just woke up to eat a late Christmas dinner, here he is visiting with Ashley before he had to get ready for another night shift in NICU at Primary Children s hospital. He got to open gifts with us and was out the door.

Landon just woke up and being a good sport about getting a picture taken.  We had alot of snacks on the table to eat while we were visiting and playing games.

Our gorgeous Ashley tasting some of the homemade Christmas goodies.  She was asking for chips and salsa after all the sugary treats.


Asher loves chips.  He won't eat much of anything else.

Uncle Landon got Asher and Ian each a toy and the cute hats, gloves and scarfs they are wearing in this picture.  Ian was so cute giving Asher a nice brotherly kiss for Christmas.

They are growing up so fast.  Ian is 5 yrs old and Asher is 3 yrs old and Sharae is expecting her 3rd baby.

Cute kids.

Papo and Chiquita with the grand kids. They were going to take Chiquita for a walk.

Ian loved playing out in the snow, I felt bad it was not good enough snow to build a snow man.  He was happy anyway just running in it.  Joe and Sharae have not had any snow in Moore, Idaho yet.  This was a treat for him.

He loved just running around in the snow.

Cute little Asher.  He would come up to me and just wanted me to love, hold and kiss him.  He is very affectionate with me.

Ian loves to do this cute little poses in front of the camera.

My Children at Christmas: Sharae 28, Landon 25, and Ashley 29.  I can't believe they are all grown up.  We have always had special Christmases.  It was so nice being together.

This is the wonderful man who prepared our Christmas dinner, Bill my husband the Chef.  He always helps me out by cooking.

We feel like we have been eating all day, snacks and then this big dinner. It is delicious, it is just that we are so FULL.

We love the dinner, Thanks dad and mom.

Last minute touches for dinner-Sunday Dec 18, 2011

The turkey was delicious.  Bill soaked it in a Brine solution for 24 hrs before cooking it.  It was so tender and juicy.
