Wetz Family Christmas

The Wednesday after Christmas, we took a break from painting (I will go more into that on another post), to spend time with my mom's side of the family.  My cousin, Jamie, her husband Chad, son Caleb, and Aunt Jeanne all came in from Round Rock.  Then both sets of grandparents came over to my parent's house.  The kids had spent the night, since Randy & I were painting.  That meant they were there to play as soon as cousin Caleb got there.  Alex just follows Caleb around and tries to immitate everything he does.  Around 1:00 Randy and I joined the crowd.  We all enjoyed lunch and then hung out together all afternoon.  The kids played wii or just ran around.  Then eventually it was time to open the presents.  Seriously such deprived children! LOL!

Alex got a super cool PINK bike!  She was so excited.  Luckily Cousin Jamie assembled it for her.  Her mommy is not very good with assembling things! :(

Just a little too short to reach both pedals at the same time!  But don't I look cute with my new fairy wings and dress up skirt while riding it???

The boys I believe were playing "football!"  Except there wasn't actually any ball involved, but at least they were running off some energy.

My gift to everyone this year was a personalized calendar with every month having pictures of the kids.  I spent like 3 days straight while my student teacher was teaching completing these.  I'm still not quite sure why it took my so long, but I learned something very important in the process.  We did not have any pictures of the great grandparents with the kids from the whole year.  That included 3 birthday parties, last Christmas, and Easter.  I think we are always trying so hard to just get the 3 kids together, but it is equally important to get pictures of the great grandparents too.  We are so lucky to have such young and healthy great grandparents for the kids.

Here is Grandma Betty and Grandpa Bill with Riley, Alex, & Caleb.

Then lastly Nemo & Papaw with the kids. 

This will be a New Year's Resolution of mine, to get more pictures of the grandparents & great grandparents with the kids.  Maybe next time Caleb won't already be in his pajamas!
