Christmas Joys...

Here are a couple of things that brought us joy this Christmas....

Christmas day started out opening presents at our house...and the rest of the day was spent at Mom and Dad's....another WONDERFUL time!! We ate (and we ate WELL!!), exchanged gifts, and played played played. All the while we were missing our out-of-town families terribly. We really look forward to being all together again for the holidays soon!!

At one point in the day, Uncle Rob went outside and fired up Braden's dirtbike, which was still up at the house from the dunes trip I guess. Jon heard it, and next think you know, he was zipping around the yard and down the road!! He took to it FAST....even though he'd never ridden one before. He loves it, and I think we are in for much more dirt bike ridding in our future!!

and PS - I didn't know he was riding until I was called outside to watch...I promptly got him a HELMET (after I snapped the photos of course)!!

We also got a fun box of goodies from our friends Merce and Manolo in Ponferrada, Spain. Lots of Spanish sweets! We were all very excited about it, especially the kids!

We hope all our friends and family had wonderful holidays and a happy new year!!!
