More Christmas Pictures from Our Tennessee Visitors

Over the weekend Edward's family was here, we had a Christmas dinner and gift exchange. It was really nice to have most of his family here; his brother, Jason, and his family were the ones missing. Our dinner was a treat, as Edward and Jennifer (the rest of us too) really love Honeybaked Ham. There's no store in Yuma, but there is one in San Diego, so when the kids and I picked up his parents at the airport, we took our big cooler along and picked up the Honeybaked Ham. After enjoying that, we had fun watching the kids open their gifts.

Luke fell in love with Santa hats.

Hanging out watching movies is a tiresome job.

The guys minus James

Up for a moment to attack Aunt Jennifer

Thanks to all of our family and friends for the wonderful gifts, mainly for the kids. They have really enjoyed them, and we are very blessed.

Hmmm, two large gifts from Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Andrew...what could they be?

Luke LOVED the tool belt set he received and wears it constantly.

Edward, modeling his new hunting vest from his brother and new Oakley sunglasses from me (sunglasses were a birthday present). Edward has never had a nice pair of sunglasses, nothing over $5, but with him sitting in the sun watching guys jump out of airplanes every morning, he needs to protect his eyes. Thanks to my Oakley hookup via Carin (thanks again Carin and Tony!), he has some nice new shades.

Checking out another birthday present-I made him a photo book on Snapfish of our move to Arizona

Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Andrew decided to challenge Madison's puzzle skills with a 300 piece puzzle.

The big presents were unwrapped, and they were sleds. Now, sleds in Arizona??? Yeah, right. Actually, the sleds are for sand sledding, something we're told is very popular. However, we found them quite useful on our Grand Canyon trip...stay tuned for pictures. Great gift, guys! Who would have thought sleds in AZ would be so useful?

Luke modeling his new pj's and tool belt, again.

Nana enjoyed reading Luke his favorite book, Mrs. Wishy-Washy while wearing the tool belt.

The next day, after church, Luke had fun riding on his new tricycle (again, notice the tool belt!). He's been dying for a "bike" and tries to ride Madison's princess bike all the time. He's not tall enough for a bike, so a trike is a perfect option for him.
