Merry Christmas!

Christmas time this year for our family was a meet and greet of sorts, my side of the family has not all been together in a long time. My father had never met Alice my sisters little girl or Garrett our little boy until now. Brady and Reagan had not seen in each in many months. But as soon as those two saw each other they were two peas in a pod. They got a long very well, and are the best of friends. In fact after spending 9 days with Reagan the moment we got home from our trip Brady burst into tears and yelled, "I want Reagan and Baby Alice's house! " Nice to know family is important to the little guy.

My Dad got to meet Garrett and he nicknamed him Rock, he was surprised to see how strong he has become and thick! Nana Hootie (as we have called my mother) was just so happy to be in the house with all of our family, she didn't want to go anywhere but stay home and love on these kids!

We did go out and do lots while in Las Vegas, we went and saw Christmas lights, ate out at some pretty good digs like, In-N-Out (spelling?) Cafe Rio, and the Silverton Buffet.....all you can eat crab legs.......I can still taste them!! We also shopped and went to a place called the Jump Zone! I could do a whole post just about that place......




Andrew my older brother had not met the little babes as well, he got his fill of small ones this past week as well. At one point Reagan and Brady decided to double team him and he was on the ground with two little ones yelling and laughing at him. He won't admit it but he really wants to take them home with him!

Brady also loved his little cousin Alice, she is a big girl because she has mastered sitting up, which his little bro is still working on.






We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and please know how much we love all of our family and friends. Even though some of you are near and others far we want you to know we think of you often and love you very much!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. That sounded like a fabulous Christmas...especially the part about CAFE RIO! HEAVEN! It must be fun to have cousins so close in age. And what handsome little devils you have. The question is, who weights more, Garrett or Adam?

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun in Vegas! I'm so glad you got to spend Christmas with your family Dana. Rock is an awesome nickname for Garrett. That is totally sticking for sure. Love you guys.
