The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Well, we certainly hope everybody had as wonderful of a Christmas as we did. We were blessed to see all of our family on both sides. Russ' family lives a little over half of an hour away from mine. That is nice at Christmas, but it makes our Christmas very busy! Rusty saw many new faces, but he did very well. Aside from the time that I dressed him in the Santa suit and his little cousin stole his passy. Rusty is shy and I think that the Santa suit brought much unwanted attention. I had trouble picking out which pictures I wanted to post, but here are a few. Maybe I will figure out how to put one of those slide shows on the blog.

Rusty is trying out his new tractor. Aren't the overalls fitting?

This picture is one of my favorite of all time!! Granny bought us ALL matching PJ's. And when I say ALL I mean about 15 of us. The girls received Hello Kitty and the boys received these Big Slugger pants. We took this back at my mom and dad's, but how I wish we would have all put them on at Granny's for a picture.

This is our niece Madison. These bloomers match a dress that she got, but Josh told her to put them on her head, so she did!

Rusty is directing Mom and Dad here. Whenever he hears music he starts beating that hand up and down. (Dad, I must say these pants are quite flattering!)

Rusty with Grandpa Bowles.

Rusty loved watching Santa through the window.

Opening presents on Christmas morning.

Daddy working on the eggs and stirring the gravy!

Rusty and Madison trying out their presents from Papa and Granny Jones. They both need to grow into them a little.

We are home now and trying to get settled in. Rusty's schedule is messed up as you can imagine. On top of that he did get his two front teeth for Christmas and he is cutting two on the bottom. Some people say their kids never had trouble, but Rusty is miserable with his. However, we have this week off to get things back in order and ready for the second half of the school year. Hope everyone has a good week!
