Christmas Traditions

Tradition
Christmas morning tradition.
Grandma .T. or as Ryan says: Dot
Ryan's jumpy. He loved it.
Coffee outside on the porch in December? Yes Dot that's what we do here in TX.
Girls gift from grandma Dottie. Wooden plates that they used to eat on at grandma's house when they were younger. What a fun memory and keepsake. The cousins got one too.
Stacy playing with Sleeping Beauty and the Beast.
Jenny playing with the plasma bike. Gift for the house. Look back on some old posts and you'll see Jenny in the store riding one of these. Good Jen.
Pam and her survivor buff. Finally! Thanks Jess, thanks for going to NY and getting it for me.
Turkey time...
Ryan at the table but where is everyone else? In the kitchen loading up our plates.
AFTER the meal... faster dad faster.
The traditional after Christmas dinner walk. This time they went up the hill to feed the fish.
Rod showing Ryan how to throw the breadcrumbs to the fish.
Stacy and Malyn feeding and watching the fish. Or are they waiting for Nama and grandma Dottie to drive up and pick them up??? No they all made it back down the hill.
Group picture looking at the fish that are getting bigger as we watch them eat the bread I save in the freezer for the grandchildren to feed them.
Waffle breakfast at the LOFT. Chesley chowing down, Boo enjoying his last sticky bun, Stacy posting her blog, Jessica-grandma Dottie-Ryan finishing up the waffles.
I think Grandma Dottie likes it here in TX. Or we sure hope she does.
Ryan: Nama! This is what my mom looks like now. It's her new look since Christmas. Gezzzz
Malyn and Lola having a chat.

GIRLS NIGHT IN... at Jessica's house.
Stacy setting up the timer on the camera for a group picture. This was a pretty funny story.

I think we have a keeper. We also have a happy grandma here. She likes all the traditions here.
To see the final picture you may have to go to Jessica's blog.
