My Nephew In Afghanistan

My nephew Christopher Durtsche is in Afghanistan working, so this is him enjoying his Christmas.

Christmas With The Kids

We had our Christmas with our older married kids on Sunday. We had already opened our presents except our things from our older kids. Tianna wrapped Jayson's patent that he had applied for and it had come in the mail, so Tianna surprised him. It's for his piston's for semi trucks. He was so excited and surprised. It's always fun to watch the little girls open their presents and get so excited. For Christmas dinner this year we had barbequed steaks, baked potatoes, salad, rolls, fruit salad, and dessert. It was such a fun day.

Christmas Morning

This year Christmas was quiet. Our married kids were spending the day with their in-laws, so it was just me, Jayson, and Jayden. I think Jayson was more excited to open presents than Jayden and I were. He was up trying to get us both up. I'm always cold, so Jayson bought me these "classic" onsie pj's and he made me model them. They are so amazingly warm. He was taking pictures of me and I tripped over the corner of the ottoman and fell on it and of course, he took pictures. haha My kids always laugh at the boxes that I wrap their presents in. It looks like Jayden is getting some Boo Berry cereal, but it was just an empty box that I used. Haha

Ryan's 30th

Wow, Ryan is dirty thirty. Crazy! This is the 7th birthday we have celebrated with Ryan. It's hard to believe he is 30. Since I know Ryan loves snickers candy bars, I made him a chocolate cake filled with carmel and snickers bars.

Eric Is 29

Happy birthday Eric. It's crazy to think he is 29 and we have celebrated 6 birthdays with him. The little girls were sure excited to help him open his presents. Another white chocolate raspberry cheesecake for Eric. His favorite.

Teisha's Christmas Concert

I have always known Teisha has a beautiful voice and is very musically talented, but I had no idea really how talanted she is. She can play the piano and flute and has been taking private voice lessons for a year. She invited us to her Christmas solo and I was crying because she has such an amazing voice.

Do You See What I See

Do you see what I see?  In papa's closet little Lyla.  She loves to hide!
