CNY 2013

We had 3 CNY celebrations this year. Rieley shared goodies with her class, we met for lunch with the Midland families with girls adopted from China and the we had all of the Andrews families over to our house on the 9th of Feb to celebrate the CNY. I did something new this year. We kept our Christmas tree up and left all of our Chinese related ornaments on it for the Chinese new Year and so glad we did. We have plenty of ornaments and after taking te time to put the tree up, figured we might as well get the use out of it, plus it looked really pretty.

Christmas Break 2012.

 

The first few pictures were taken the night we went out for Tanner's 24th birthday. Kyle wasn't in the group picture, because he was late returning home and we weren't waiting. The rest are from Christmas Eve day and Christmas. tim and I opened our gifts early. Tim got a new BIG tv and I got a new lens for my camera. We were able to watch the Polar Express Christmas Eve on the BIG tv. He also, got the cabinet under it too.

The big kids didn't get alot for xmas this year as their items are big ticket items. Kyle and Tanner each took a trip to friends before xmas and that ws their gift and Bailey got a mini iPAD. Hunter got lots of clothes and Rieley was overtaken again by Princesses and their Princes. She loves them and it was great to see her face christmas morning.

Snow in TX and making a snowman.

Bailey and Rieley enjoyed sometime out in the snow we got here in TX. This is one thing I won't get used to here in West TX. The girls had fun doing snow angels and building a snowman, which used most of the snow from the front yard. so, that shows we didn't get alot but enough for 2 girls to have lots of fun and make memories. then they both enjoyed some hot chocolate after getting showers and warming up.

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.
