Christmas Day

Christmas Eve at our house

We had such a nice time on Christmas Eve. Dad came over to our house and spent the night with us...Dane had been looking forward to that since Thanksgiving! We had Debbie and Jerry over later in the afternoon to open our gifts to and from them. We got some nice things from them...the boys got Legos (Luke, the castle. Dane, the semi). We spent all night practically (Luke and I) putting the castle together....after Luke had spent HOURS on the semi! We had a fabulous dinner at night and then we watched Christmas movies and a movie Dad brought called Spencer's Mountain that we really enjoyed! Luke and I hardly slept at all between Christmas Eve and Christmas a.m., but it was worth all the fun we had! :)

Dane & Daddy on Navy/Army football day!

Two of my boys all matchy matchy...Luke's idea to support Navy. I guess it worked because they won... We went to Weatherford this day and people commented on how cute they were.

BTW, I'm not too sure what this face Dane is making in the last picture, but I think it is SO freakin' adorable! :)

Ronin's smile...

...only appears when he's asleep or at least half asleep. I love it! Sometimes he even giggles when he's sleeping....

Ronin: at a week old

What a cute baby we make! He does this one eye open thing a lot. I just love his chubby little cheeks!

At the doctor--first visit

Our baby Ronin at six days old at his first doctor's appointment...the doc gave us the all clear. She said he's very healthy and he had already gained five ounces to add on to his birth weight! :) Way to go, Ronin!

Santa pics at the Galleria

Every year since Dane's second Christmas, we go to the Galleria in Dallas for Santa pictures....they have the best one that we've seen. It's always a fun trip! We made a quick trip there today to capture Dane's 5th Christmas and Ronin's first! Happy Holidays!

Ronin's gifts

Wonderful people gave us these wonderful gifts! My little brother had these beautiful flowers and blue bear sent to us. My Dad gave us the Christmas bear to Ronin (he reads Twas the Night Before Christmas). And Jen and family gave Ronin this cuddly black bear....we love them all! :)
