Dceorating Christmas Cookies with Hunter.

 

Rieley and Hunter had fun dcorating some of our Grandma Farley cutout cookies. Rieley liked tasting the icing and sprinkles along the way too. Vote be taken, most everyone likes them better without icing. None were left after christmas.

Bailey and Hunter arrive for Christmas break.

Rieley was very happy to see bailey and Hunter come home for Christmas break. Too bad we can't coordinate their arrivals at the airport better. Bailey came home on Thurs and Hunter on Sat. Santa was at the airport for Hunter's arrival and Rieley talked to him and received a gift. Her and bailey played some cards also while waiting for Hunter's arrival. Good to have them home, always hard to watch them leave.

Rieley's First Grade Christmas Program/ School Christmas Party

 

These are from Rieley's xmas program and party. She was blocked by the music stand from our point of view, but to move we would have been really far back. The last picture is of her and her first grade Spanish teacher, Ms. Marquez.

The Elf is back.

Our Elf, was kind of mischievious this year at times. Always fun to see Rieley's reaction to where and what the Elf was doing each morning. I think the funniest was wrapping himself in toilet paper in the Christmas tree.

Thanksgiving in Riudoso, NM.

A fun time was had by all who went to Riudoso, Nm for Thanksgiving. Bailey and  Hunter did not come home for their short breaks and spent time with family and friends in IN and PA. The drive was, long and boring for the most part, but different and beautiful in spots too. The Inn of the Mountain Gods where we stayed was really nice and we had a view of snow covered mountain tops from our rooms. The boys gambled a little and we enjoyed some fun touring the town and shops, playing putt putt and driving go carts.

Dad, mom and Rieley take trip to Ft Worth.

 

Tim, Rieley and I ventured over to the Ft Worth/ Dallas/ Grapevine area for a weekend. We met up with our friends at PF Changs for dinner, the 3 girls had fun playing together and we all enjoyed some yummy food and conversation., On Sat we went to the Ft Worth Zoo and an aquarium, plus walked around the mall.Sat nigh we ate at a really yummy and expensive steak house, the kind that melts in your mouth, no chewing necessary. Before we knew it it was time to get in the van and head back to Andrews. Hopefully, once Spring gets here we will go back for another weekend.
