If Christmas is a season... then, we're well seasoned! This weekend, we wrapped up the final Christmas gathering of the year... #5 of 5. Not bad, I'd say. We're pretty sure that Kaleb thinks that every third day we celebrate another birthday. We've celebrated in Laramie, Greeley, Philip (with extended family), Sturgis and back at the Ranch again. It has been a lot of fun spending so much time with family! Pictures tell the story best, so here we go...
Christmas #3: Christmas Weekend at Home
Kaleb made scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Followed by watch the classic "Christmas Carol".
That evening, a quick but very, very worthwhile trip to the living Nativity. So thankful to have this opportunity as a family tradition.
Kaleb with his favorite girls at church ;)
Discovering the presents under the tree.
Finally finished up our long overdue hand print craft.
Decorated a gingerbread house :)
Stuffed ourselves on caramel popcorn :)
Opened presents...yes, we are crazy and bought him a drum. The kid absolutely LOVES music!
Christmas #4: Ranch with the Berry extended family.
Here's part of the gang...
Then, of course we had to make a trip to the barn to check on Patches.
And, we had our 1st real long pony ride on Christmas Day 2012. Made a loop around the yard and partly down the hill. Only one near buck-off. That banana bread was so totally worth it!!
More presents from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa- they got me a toy horse :)
Then, we came home and pretended to 'sleep' and 'snore'.
Because all this fun is exhausting!! And, we knew that Christmas #5 was just around the corner.
Christmas #5- The Berry's at the Ranch
(this time Auntie Ashley and Justin we off work)
We sang Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus. And, Kaleb blew out the candle. It was an extremely comical event that I'm sure none of us will ever forget.
Then, it was time for more presents.... again :)
Grandpa picked out this cool tractor, its the same color as his too!
Kaleb was so excited he was sitting on it most of the time Uncle Ryon was trying to assemble it. Way to be helpful kiddo!
What do you do when you have a new stick horse and a new tractor....?
You improvise- ride 'em both!
We had a family coloring party too... it was fun!
And, we helped feed the cows.
Ahh, this is the life!
Merry Christmas, everyone! We're incredibly blessed and have had a wonderful season of celebration. Thanks to all our family and friends for loving on us and being a part of 'us'.
God Bless
