Christmas with the FAM!

We had a long Christmas adventure. On Christmas Eve we went over to the the Reasons' house at around 4:00 and watched TV, ate Chili and cornbread, and waited for the right time to open presents. It was very hard for Seth to wait. He really wanted to dive in! The post before was on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning Keith and I drove from Oakland to the Reasons' house again to open all of our presents. That afternoon we drove out to Germantown to have Christmas with Lynn's mom, dad, brother, and his children. We had our Christmas feast at their house and it was good! We had a great time at the Reason Family Christmas! We went back to work for three days and on Wednesday we drove to my parents house in Arkansas to have our "Christmas" on New Years. My brother, Jason, his wife, Karla, and their precious little girl, Kaila met us up there and we all had a delightful time hanging out together. My dad was able to bring my Paw Paw over for some meals along with being able to open up his Christmas presents. We decided to let Kaila and Paw Paw open their presents at the same time and the rest of us would wait till later on in the evening since we would have to be staying up so late for the New Year! Kaila had a blast opening up her presents and she just couldn't resist helping Paw Paw open his. Over all Christmas was GREAT!!! and I was so happy to be able to spend so much time with my family! Here are some pictures of both the Reasons and Craddock family Christmas'....ENJOY! oh yeah and the day that Keith and I were to return to Oakland/Memphis we woke up with like 4 inches of snow everywhere...we were able to leave and had no trouble getting home!
I apparently only got two pictures of the Reasons' Christmas morning...Lynn got a new shower cap and Lauren with Penny!

We had so much fun watching Seth opening his presents this year..we suprised him by buying him his own new set of golf clubs...of course I didn't get a picture of that but we do have a video!

I wanted to show everybody my Christmas tree and all the other decorations I put up at my house. I failed to get pictures of the outside of the house that shows my bows and lit garland around the front door..sorry! There is always next year!

Puzzle Time!

Keith and I worked on a very difficult puzzle for what seemed like forever but in actuality I think it was more like 2 months. We don't have cable to entertain ourselves so we decided that we would do a puzzle. It is an I-spy puzzle that is of a drawer filled with beads, buttons, baubles and a blue string. It was very hard and there were many times that we didn't think that it would ever get done but when we did we had to take pictures!! Our friends Robbie and Karlye liked our idea of doing a puzzle so she went out and bought a puzzle that they could do and when we were both done we would switch. Well they got done with their puzzle long before we got done with ours so they had to wait. When we got done they wanted our puzzle so that they could try it out...and you know what that means...we had to take it apart. What a sad occasion..hehe!

We have their puzzle now so maybe we can get it done and you can see it...meanwhile they have already finished our bead puzzle and have started another one...

Needless to say...Keith and I are slow at our second puzzle!

Hope you enjoy a few pictures of our puzzle and the tears while we took it apart!
