Next was Rylee's first Christmas Eve and Christmas. For as long as I can remember, we have had Christmas Eve at my Grandma's. I love having that tradition. We all get together and play games and just mingle and have a great time. A few years ago we started trying to see how many people we can fit into my Grandma's downstairs bathroom. Not really sure why we started this, but it is fun. I think this was our third year doing it. So far every year we have beat our record from the year before. I think we got like 33 people in there this year. It is fun. We also play a dice game every year. Everybody pitches in and buys some cheap presents. We have a timer and two plates with 2 dice on them. You have to roll doubles and then you get to pick a present from the center. If all the presents are gone before the time runs out, you get to steal from someone. Well last year Barry decided to wrap a pair of underwear filled with holes. One of the little kids opened them last year. It was so funny. Well needless to say, he brought them again this year. Jacob got them this year and decided to model them for all of us. He gets to keep them till next year, when the next lucky person will get to unwrap them. Here are some photo's from Christmas Eve.

The next day was Christmas. It started out at my Dad's really early. After that we headed to Danny's mom's. Then to my mom's. And finally we ended up at Danny's dads. It was a very long day. Rylee was pretty cranky by the time we got home. She got a ton of gifts though. She definitely made out. Here are some photo's from Christmas.

Well next was New Year's, I don't have any photos. We didn't even make it till midnight. We started out by going out to dinner with Amy and Albert. Then, we headed to my mom's where we played some games. It is really hard to make it till midnight. Whenever I can get some sleep I take advantage of it. Since I don't have any photo's of New Years, we will move on.
Danny's basketball has started up. They haven't started out to good. I think they have lost there first two games. He plays on Wednesday nights. I go and try to watch, but usually end up talking to his family or Brandi. He also bowls on Thursday nights. This past Thursday we went to watch him. Well, we usually watch him every Thursday and he hasn't done very well with us there, so when we went and bought Rylee new clothes we bought her an outfit that says Daddy's Lucky Charm. Well she wore it this Thursday and daddy did really good. She also decided she wanted to drink through a straw this Thursday too. I was just giving her a small amount of water with the straw and she started sucking it out, so I put the straw in the water and let her suck away. She figured it out pretty quickly. It was so funny too, because when she would suck the water up, it would startle her and she would just let the water run out of her mouth.
Friday night we met up with his family in laughlin. Danny wasn't feeling very well so we left pretty early. We weren't winning anyways. Saturday we headed to Amy's for the football games. Both our teams won. Go Saints and Colts. We didn't stay there to long either because Danny was sick. We went back there today to say goodbye to his cousins. It was good to see them. His cousin Talon has a daughter that is 3 months older then Rylee. They weren't to sure about each other. Well, here are a few more photos.

Last but not least. There have been two birthdays that I missed. My Stepdad Chesters was December 21st, and our niece Tori's was January 12th. Happy belated birthday to you both. Apparently I don't have any pictures of you Chester. I will have to work on that. Sorry, I love you.
I think I need a lesson on this posting thing. Everytime I try to post with pictures it ends up taking me hours to do it. Everytime I try to add photos they go up to the top of my post and then I have to move them all down, so you experienced poster, if you have any secrets, please please fill me in. Thanks.
