Watching "It's a Wonderful Life" on Christmas Eve after the candlelight service at church...

Reese chose couples to get out and dance with her...
Blayke playing with the Little People nativity...
Chuck on Christmas morning with his new Lance Armstrong watch...
Maddi's cell phone wish finally came true at 13...she's the last of her friends to get one(most of them got them at 9 or 10). I know, I know, so sad. All the parents are like, "You haven't bought her one yet?"or "Don't you think she needs one for safety reasons ?" and on and on...GOOD GRIEF, WHAT IN THE HECK DID WE DO WITHOUT THEM GROWING UP?...I MEAN, GOODNESS! IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO AND WE DID FINE WITHOUT THEM! AHHHHHHHHHH!

You can't tell she's excited, can you???
Christmas night at Papa and Nana's...they read the flip-book version of the Christmas story to their "grandies"(as mom calls her grandchildren)...
The Reim clan celebrating...
Celebrating with Nana and Aunt Lelia...
Lana had a great idea a couple of days after Christmas to go to Discovery Green in the middle of downtown Houston where there was an awesome ice-skating rink set up. What a blast!...



Yaayyyy! Fun times! Tomorrow we're headed to Danbury(our church has a gorgeous, rustic retreat in the middle of the woods there) for some New Year's fun! It's our 3rd New Year's to spend down there...it's become our tradition!!! We'll spend the night with friends and family to ring in the New Year with firecrackers, fishing, canoeing, paddle boating, roasting s'mores, food, fun, and letting the kids run wild through the woods with all the other kids...it's SO MUCH FUN!!!
Then to Papa and Gram's to relax with them at the lake for a couple of nights...
Pics to come soon!!!
For you sweet people who read my blog, hope your Christmas was special...one of my Christmas wishes is that you'll start blogging(and let me know) so I can see pictures of your family and all that you do.
I love these things...
