Christmas has come and gone. Always a bittersweet moment as Christmas is FUN but I'm sad when its over. I'm that person that leaves their Christmas tree up until January 15th or so...until we decide its kind of ridiculous that its still up :) Christmas was BUSY but FUN as usual. We had the Hiller family Christmas on Friday night and got see cousins we haven't gotten to see in a long time. Good times!

My cousin, Kheili, bought Jason a pair of his goofy glasses since he lost his others when they were hanging out together in Austin. He was a little bit too excited haha

Grandpa & Grandma with Will & Megan's kiddos...Eli, Layelah, & Lily

The remote control car Eli got was the hit of the party. Addi decided that she really did need one too :)

Mom did a beautiful job decorating the house preparing it for Christmas!

Saturday morning was Christmas with my family. Its always a nice, low key time with my parents and brother. Santa (my parents) were awesome to us this year. We got lots of beautiful things for home!

Lots of BIG gifts this year! 

Can't have Christmas without eggnog! :) (I know I just got a bunch of ewwwwws lol)

Christmas Eve night was spent at Daddy Don's...my dad's dad's house. This is always one of my favorite Christmas get togethers as I love to catch up with the Kaspar cousins. We've always all got a long so well and its great to see everyone. And, now we have a baby to add to the mix and Baby Arthur is so incredibly cute!!

OK...so what's next. Ah yes! We left Daddy Don's at about 10:30pm and started our 5 hour drive headed north. Derrick drove for a while then got sleepy so I took over for only about 45 minutes then he woke up and was wide awake so he took us on in...arriving in Boyd at about 3:30am. Fortunately, we got to sleep late. We had lunch at Nanny's and then came home to open Christmas gifts since Logan & Kelly had Christmas morning at her family's house. 

The original Ratliffs :) What a cute family!! 

Logan & Kelly! Adorable!

Me & My Man...isn't he handsome?! :)

And last but not least.....Austin

Looks like a golf club and golf ball, but it was actually a wrapping paper cardboard with CDs taped to it. Creative Austin...

Derrick got a weed eater! He was so excited!

The coolest gift of the weekend! Logan, Kelly, & Austin worked together to make us these handmadeAggie washerboards. Soo cool!

Remote control helicopters for all her boys was a huge hit 

What a fabulous Christmas. So many blessings...both tangible and intangible. Thank you to all who helped make it special. Merry Christmas & Happy 2012!
