Ahhh...Christmas Vacation!

We're now four days into a nice long Christmas vacation. Made it back from Fort Riley to KC Wednesday evening and the family and I have been trying to enjoy a few relaxing days before hitting the road again. Since we (or actually Shelly) finished most of our Christmas shopping Thanksgiving weekend, our plan was to stay home, watch movies, get caught up on Tivo, cook, and catch up on sleep. And we've been successful for the most part.

As a matter of fact, I didn't even get out of my pajamas until Thursday evening. And Shelly won't like me saying this, but our bed hasn't been made since last Wednesday. And if you know Shelly, you know our bed is made by 7:30 every single morning whether Daphne is out of it or not.

It's been a nice weekend. Shelly baked all kinds of sweets, we made a Thanksgiving type meal Thursday, we watched a few movies, had breakfast with several friends, and got Anderson's picture taken with Santa today. We head out tomorrow to visit Shelly's family for a few days then down to Oklahoma to see my family. Here are a few recent pictures:

He loves being in his little bath seat.


Since we are moving to within a couple of hours of Shelly's parents it has made it much easier to visit them. This is from a recent trip Shelly took there from Fort Riley a couple of weeks ago.


He was a little tired after our Christmas card photo shoot. Just wanted a quick nap before getting undressed.

This was the feast we made on Thursday. I made the peas and the cranberry sauce and Shelly made everything else. Yummy!

And finally, before we left to see Santa Claus this afternoon.

Hope everyone enjoys the holidays! We'll post more pictures in a few days.
