Christmas Catch Up

We had a great Christmas.  Christmas Eve was spent with the Farris family.  Then we headed to church for our traditional Christmas Eve Service.  Since I had gotten the perfect Christmas card picture at the family wedding a few months back, I never took Christmas pictures of the kids.  So I attempted to get them to pose after the church service. 

Crazy boys!  So much fun together!

Santa Claus brought both kids new bikes! Well technically this was Alex's first bike and helmet!

Riley was in desperate need of a new bike since his knees kept hitting the handlebars.

Then Mommy & Daddy decided it was time for this family to have a basketball goal.  Riley is playing basketball again this season with his fabulous soccer coach, so now he can practice at home.

I think Uncle Ryan was trying to show off his trick skills!

Then Aunt Kalee got in on the bike riding action, or at least trying to help Alex master the pedals.

We so enjoyed having both sides of our family at the house Christmas Day.  It was a deal that we made when Randy and I first got married that anyone was invited to our house, but Christmas day would be spent at our house.  So it was with my parents and Randy's parents.  For now I am just going to enjoy the benefits of being the only one with kids and 2 sides of the family and let everyone congregate at our house.  Maybe this will just become tradition and once Kalee and Ryan get married they will continue to come to our house...
