Christmas 2008 Part II

Ok, as I said, my last post had gotten to a crazy length and so here is my promised second post to wrap up the holidays!:-)

My parents were able to stay with us until the afternoon of Christmas day. At that point, they had to get on the road to head back to Kansas City as they had company coming themselves just a few days later. However, our holiday celebrations continued as Brad's parents flew in from Dallas on Christmas evening! They were able to stay until the following Monday which gave us plenty of time for a pleasant and relaxing visit. (For any mothers of toddlers are wondering...the schnitz recovered from his desire for constant spoiling much more quickly than expected after being surrounded by all of his doting grandparents:-)

Time to show Granddad the fancy new tools!

Woohoo...a Rangers baseball set from the grandparents! If only summer weren't seven months away.....

Brad was very excited about his copy of Thucydides. Hmmm...think I'll let him enjoy it first:-)


Helping Grammy unwap his new Texas Tech sweatshirt from Uncle Kip and Aunt Sarah. Can you say, "Double T, Texas Tech"? The schnitz can!

Ah...more Tech-wear. If only this model was as cute as the last one!

Granddad's wondering when he can start working with the schnitz on his form.

Who doesn't enjoy an episode (or two or three) of Corner Gas?!






















You think he enjoys spending time with Granddad...just a little?
