The day after Christmas, as usual, we loaded up and headed to Midland. I told them we would be there by noon, but I guess they didn't believe me. So when we got there, lunch wasn't to be ready until two. While waiting, we laughed at the
dancing hat
and roped.
After lunch
, the chaos
began. McKenzie had REALLY wanted an iPod touch, but DD had told her she was too young. Maybe she would get a four-year old iPod. Kellie opened an iPod touch, and McKenzie's face was
not that of Christmas spirit. She was UNhappy! Then she opened hers
and was ssoo excited! It was NOT a four-year old iPod. There was lots
of hunting gear,
because, you know, we
might be rednecks, and because after Christmas my boys and Pops set off to do some hunting and were successful.
Before the hunters left, though, we did a mini photoshoot with the cousins.
Pretty good for amatuers, don't ya think?
After the hunters left and Kyle and his family went home, it was just Kylee, Dawn and I. I was a little worried she would be lonesome or bored. She wasn't lonesome with
Hazel around, though, and decided she needed her own little photo shoot.
We and the hunters had a great time and an amazing Christmas with Pops and DD. Thanks, y'all!!

After it got too cold, I let them come in and skate...in the house. THey also did makeovers on each other, including a wig on Blaine.
Snow days are snow fun!

with Blaine's laser tag guns, we got down to what turned out to be a Blue, Blue Christmas...Yankee Blue that is!
Blaine got a Yankee beach towel, which quickly has become his Yankee bath towel. We got Papa and Nana Yankee bed sheets
because at Papa's birthday we watched Fever Pitch, and this guy is a die-hard Red Sox fan. His WHOLE house was Red Sox decor. Nana made the comment how silly it was, and Papa made a comment defending him. We just thought it would be funny, and it was, to get them Yankee bed sheets. They laughed, too. Phew!
and then we roasted smores in the fire.
It was a nice, relaxed and blue
Christmas afternoon.
, they moved on to presents from Mom and Dad
and stockings.
See what was in mine?!
Santa left me diamonds! He even left something for the furry family!

in Terry's bay window. She said the kids, the parents, and her boys were always so excited to see what she got. She also said she figured out who we were the SECOND night!! I said, Did Kylee's handwriting give you away? She said she actually didn't know the handwriting. She said she just knew it was Kylee and Blaine and that we were the only people she knew who would do something like that.
