December in a nut shell

Random and totally out of order photos from our December ---

Maggie and her first boss, Joni (from when she worked at Quatro Tasti back in high school)

that ended up being a direct hit!

Because evidently, having an actual piano downstairs isn't enough - he needed a keyboard in his bedroom too

Charlie loving his new Christmas toy!

Mat Richards, me and Santa taking a break at Forney's Christmas on Main event!

Christmas on Main - Santa photos all wrapped up - heading to the light parade!

Stef and I did a quick rep shoot and got to kiss some sweet … donkeys
with Hannah and Jack

The models took this photo of us photographing them - I was being held up on the fence by Stef (she was pressed against me to keep me on) when one of the donkeys decided she should ride him! You can't tell here, but Stefs right leg is in between my legs. We realized that when you laugh really hard, you tend to lose strength - it was tough staying steady!

Maggie and Scotty making snowflakes!

She just wanted to play with glitter

Christmas Eve Tamales!

by the grandchildren wall at Gran and Papa's house - she really hasn't changed much!

Tim has!!

Some of the cousins - Tim, Railey, Dylan, Maggie, Kyndal, Rebecca

at Nana's house - we were playing Bingo and she started laughing so hard that we had to delay the game while she pulled herself together!

salt in his soda was payback for throwing jello at her - thats him in the background after being sent on a fake "hey, could you grab me a lemon" run

maggie's cat, Shae is so chubby that we actually found a lucky charm marshmallow stuck to his belly

homemade fried pies

it just isn't Christmas without Christmas balls from Nana

They are always filled with little trinkets. The kids normally have them to open on Christmas Eve, but this year we drove to Nana and Pa's house just after

Nana got this inappropriate shirt for T - it says "Im SO gonna four-score tonight".
This of'course is the same Nana who wears a smokey the bear shirt all of the time that says "I put out"

totally worth the drive to get a chopped beef sandwich!
