Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2007


Rhiannon seemed to enjoy wrapping presents. She was a big help.


I don't know how she managed it, but Cuddles wrapped herself up in wrapping paper.


Isn't she adorable?

Rhiannon on Christmas Eve wearing her new Hannah Montana pajamas.


Ryder in his new Christmas pajamas sitting on an old toy horse we brought here from Las Vegas.


Racer and Ryder on Christmas Eve in front of the tree.


Racer looks like a Botticelli angel with his curls and sweet face.


Rhiannon on Christmas morning. Look at her beautiful stocking that Tiffany spent so many hours putting together with embroidery, sequins, beads, etc.



Rhiannon is wearing her new sweater and holding an R.L. Stine spooky DVD.


Ryder is opening his set of Lincoln Logs. Racer also received a different set of Lincoln Logs.


What a cute, nice smile, Ryder!


Racer is concentrating on his set of Army figures.


Tiffany worked hard to make Christmas be a happy occasion for her children. Good job, Tiffany!


Two happy little boys!


Rhiannon wearing her new Nike pants, t-shirt and matching jacket (tied around her waist).


DeWayne looks thoughtful (and tired).


Tiffany, Racer, Ryder and Rhiannon.

My computer died again, so here comes slowpoke with the Christmas photos. DeWayne and I, and Tiffany, Rhiannon, Ryder and Racer, spent the holiday together. Even though we didn't have company we went ahead and had our traditional fondue for Christmas Eve. We fondued meat in hot peanut oil, two kinds of bread in cheese, and strawberries, apples, and bananas in chocolate. The kids opened their Christmas pajamas and a toy before they went to bed. On Christmas morning the kids were up at sunrise (too early) and had a great time opening their gifts. Thanks to all you kids who sent Dad and me Christmas gifts. We love and appreciate you.
On Christmas Day we had a honey-glazed, spiral-sliced ham with raisin sauce, baked potatoes with sour cream, and baked yams.

Good job Mom!! I love the pictures of Tiffy's kids at Christmas time. I wish we could have been there to celebrate with you. It's great that you are still doing traditions that we all remember doing. Tiffy's kids will grow up remembering all the fun they had at grandma and grandpa's house in Oregon.
