Christmas # 2

We set off to Herington for Christmas lunch and gifts at Grandma Debe & Papa Butch's house.

Christmas Day

The girls are awake whispering. They can't contain themselves. It is Christmas morning and they are ready to rush downstairs and find out what gifts Santa has brought them.

Vacation Days

Today is the start of my 16 days off of work! Thanks to weekends & holidays (closed office days) I only have to take 4 vacation days to enjoy those 16 days off. Looking forward to being home with my girls. Enjoying the multiple Christmases we celebrate. Traveling to Iowa to spend time with my dad to help with a big demo project. I can't wait!

Christmas begins

The holidays are here. Christmas is here. Today we traveled out to Herington to celebrate Bailey's 11th birthday. We also are spending the weekend to celebrate Christmas with Kelly, Pat, Bailey, Ryland, Papa Mike and Grandma ReRe. It's going to be a fun filled weekend. Bring on the food, drinks, and laughs.

Snow Day

Wouldn't you know it, the day before the last day of school before Christmas Break, just happens to be a Snow Day. The girls stayed home and played outside with the neighbor kids. They all went sledding and built snowmen. It was a bummer that I had to work. Thanks Ali!

Sublette

We made a long overdue trip out to Western Kansas this weekend to visit our good friends, The Watson's. They live in Sublette. Chad picked the girls up early from school and we headed out around noon. We needed to make it to Sublette in time to watch Taylor's basketball games. Sublette won the game! Taylor started the game and played very well. Our girls cheered her on, they also enjoyed the food from the concession stand. After the girls game, we stayed to watch the boys game. Taylor played in the band during that game. It was a fun Friday night in Hometown USA. We always enjoy just being together, watching tv, catching up on life, and planning for the future get togethers. The four kids keep busy and it is unique to watch how much our two girls admire and look up to Taylor. From how she does her hair to her personalized tennis shoes. After a good ole' lunch at the Cattleman's Cafe, the kids went to play at the Rec Center. Everyone enjoyed their time together, which makes that boring 4 1/2 hour drive so well worth it!

Beauty and the Beast

Chad was able to get 4 tickets to the amazing "Beauty and the Beast" show at McCain auditorium. It was a wonderful and breathtaking performance. Beautiful costumes, amazing singing, so true to the story. While the play ran long and the time was late, all in all the girls held up alright.
