Keeping up the tradition!

Helping dad with the star

We always got to put the star on the tree when we were kids...and though she's still too little to technically 'put it on' we let her adjust it and make it just how she wanted it.

It is so fun to have a little sweetie pie for Christmas this year!  She loved decorating the tree and wants to help wrap all of the presents, and don't even get her started about Christmas lights!

 

If we go anywhere at night we see our neighbors lights up on the way out and she starts whining and signing 'more' because she wants to see more Christmas lights.  All through town she can spot them!  It's amazing to me for how little she is she definitely knows the difference between a bunch of regular lights and the twinkle of Christmas lights.  

2009 Here We Come!

We are on our way out to the sand dunes! It's New Years weekend tradition with the Curtis Family so I will fill you in on the details...plus my grocery shopping 'process' when we get back!
Have fun ya'll!

Family Time

The Curtis Family

A family picture! Tyler and I went down to Tucson for the holidays and managed to squeeze in a spur-of-the-moment Curtis family photo shoot. It was so much fun and we all played photographer, standing back to check the details, looking at different angles, using different poses...needless to say, we have TONS of pictures. Here is a little sampling...........

Tyler and Kristina

Don and Jessie

We had so much fun at Grandma Lopez's house! I ate ALL day and I'm not even kidding, but I figured , what the heck, one day won't kill me right? We watched a little Planet Earth (Tyler got it for Christmas), rode the tractor to 'the end of the world' on the property, visited with family, we even did a little ropin'.............

Here are some highlights from a Schumacher Christmas:

Opening Presents

Christmas was a good one this year! We spent FIVE days down in Southern Arizona and it was so nice to get away and visit with everyone. We hope you had just as much fun with your families!
