Merry Christmas, 2011!!!

Our second Christmas in De Luz... and our first having my family here with us! On December 22nd, everybody got here. Yes, I can see adopting little William if his parents ever decide to give him up. ;) He is a doll.


How FUN to get Bruce, Cody and Willy-Bird here for Christmas!!! When Mom and Dad arrive, Christmas will feel complete and we can start to celebrate. I love everybody being together...


My nephew is as yummy as he thinks food is. At only 6 months old, this kid can EAT!



Levi and Sullivan helped babysit Birdie. Please note the stripey leg warmers and the edible rolls on top.





Non and Pops got the kids new boots, just like last year! They got to open them early for our family pictures. (We didn't get to have them taken because Dad got sick.) :( You have to have cowboy boots out here in the country; it's a must for safety on the property, especially in the summer when you might possibly meet a snake. Plus, we all have an affinity for the look. Will and I have country in our blood, and the kids definitely inherited it. Thank you, N and P! A wonderful gift tradition!



So cute.






We all went to dinner at Palumbo's Ristorante in Old Town. It is so fun... a little family-owned country Italian place with delicious food. We had a blast!


Oh, goodness. Could he be more precious?!
