Welcome 2010

We welcomed the New Year at the ranch with Mimi and Pops and Stuart's sister and her family.









We saw lots of deer. There are a lot of big axis and white tail.


















Although it was cool outside, we spent most of time outdoors.










Ellie was a great big cousin! She pulled Hannah around all weekend!
We took family rides to see the cows





My beautiful niece Ava

Hannah with her cousin Parker's gun (don't worry Grandma, this is not a real gun and neither of my kids had contact with real guns)





All 5 grand kids in age order!




The kids helped Pops refill the feeders



We celebrated Hannah's 3rd Birthday and Ava's 1st Birthday!


Happy 1st Birthday Ava!

Daddy and Hudson






Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas Eve at Mimi and Pops! We went to the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service and brought Hannah into the service. She was such a big girl. She was quiet, moved from me to Mimi, to Pops, and to Daddy quietly, did not play or talk loudly with Lillian, sang along with the beautiful carols and held the burning candle all by herself during the entire "Silent Night." After church, we headed to Mimi and Pops house for Mexican food and presents!
Mimi and Pops with their Grandbabies!

Hud loved Mimi's tree and her ornaments

We all helped Hudson open his presents... Hud got a new cowboy shirt and both kids got boots!
Hannah helped everyone else open theirs


Then we can home, set out our plate of milk and homemade chocolate chip cookies and went to bed hoping Santa would come.
I must say that I am slightly surprised given some of Hannah's recent behavior that Santa came... She had been on the "Naughty List" quite a bit! I guess he decided to look at her over all behavior for the year and was awfully generous.

We slept until 11am... And finally woke up to see if Santa had come!


Hud loves his new tractor!



Great Bubbe got them these new house shoes!
Santa even put together a Trampoline in our back yard on Christmas Eve! Hannah hasn't come inside. She loves her new "jump!"
She also got a whole trunk full of dress up clothes!





Granddad gave us a dancing Mickey!
