365: Week 51

Monday, December 24th:

 This afternoon was a very mild day so we took all the kids outside to burn some energy. The girls spent a lot of time on the hammock.

 Sweet picture

 I-man, always at work.

 Our oldest nephew is quite the tree-climber!

 Leaving reindeer food on the front lawn for Santa's helpers


Oats and glitter.....reindeer's favorite food!

Making sure they got it all.




Rockin' around the Christmas tree....excited to begin the present-opening

 The grandkids helped make Papa Tom's birthday cake.


 The 3 sister-in-laws received manicures a few days ago and the little girls wanted to join in on the fun. Mama Linda opened her beauty shop and away they went!

 Beautiful!


Like mother like daughter
