Where Did it Go?

Where did Christmas go? It seems that I blinked and it was over. Didn't I just put up the tree? Mr. Incredible asked me to please leave it up until New Years. Ummm....I love him dearly....so I'll try! I'm the kind of girl who likes to put it all back up in the attic the day after Christmas.

In our part of Texas it is suppose to be 70 degrees. The girls and I are going to take down the outside Christmas lights and maybe even get a tan...in December!

I hope that ya'll had a wonderful Christmas. Our family tried to treasure every moment together. Here are a few glimpses of our Christmas celebrations:

My brother, Uncle Tim, came to town. We were soooooo glad to see him! The girls couldn't wait to get my brother, who records his own music, to try Guitar Hero World Tour. He lived up to their expectations. He is amazing!

This Christmas was the year of the cameras. Mr. Incredible surprised me with my very own big girl camera! Now I can get shots of my girls on the court with my super duper telephoto lenses. I just hope that I can figure this out! I'm having fun trying. I only took 160 pictures in 2 days.
(Don't worry, I only posted a few of them!)

Here is Hannah receiving her first digital camera! She was so excited!

And...look at this surprised face...her second digital camera! Rachel received 2 also.

The girls are so loved. We plan to take one back and exchange it for a special something.

My Dad was given a cowboy hat. I think my Mom likes it!
Cue the George Strait music.

Uncle Tony came to visit. He stayed with us and we LOVED having him. I finally have someone to drink coffee with in the mornings. He doesn't like to have his picture taken but how can he say no when his great nieces are nearby?!

Here are a few shots of the girls learning to use their new cameras while I tried to learn how to use mine:

Here is Uncle Tim with the girls:

This is my youngest nephew:

(I'm starting to get the hang of using my new camera!)

and my oldest nephew hamming it up for Aunt Kiki.

Santa dropped by for a visit:

This is Christmas morning. The girls had no idea what was in these packages:

Can you tell that they were surprised?

Christmas surprises are so much fun!

The Christmas tree is now asking me to please put it back in the attic but I am going to try to wait..for Mr. Incredible's sake. I think the girls and I are off to see Despereaux. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Joyfully,

Kristi
