Christmas Eve Live

We have a family tradition that is fun for us. We
open all presents on Christmas Eve and our stockings on Christmas Day.
Because we have a large family everyone draws a new name on Christmas day and whoever you draw, you shop for all year long.

Christmas Eve Dinner . . .




Check out Dad's face.....


Hmmmmmmm............

I'm not sure about this one.

Cacey

Checking out the new boat.

Look at my new earring!

Christy got four pairs of shoes! Can you guess who drew her?

Just what I wanted: A Red Furry Bath Robe!

Jenny's satisfied with her presents.

Sweet

Ye-e-es that's it. turn around

excited? (Joy) "Yes!"

spoiled.

That's it, smile hard.

Wow! Those presents are only for nine people?

Mom, taking a break.

We went to a movie (we have not gone in six months!) on Christmas Day. Very nice because there was not a lot of people out.

The presents have been replaced with our favorite stuffed animal.

Purple Girl!

Visit To Sea World!

We all went to Sea World in San Diego on the way back from Texas.
Our cousin who lives there spent the day with us and we had a ton of fun as you can see from the pictures..............!!

Clark and Jill in front of some giant presents.

Everyone in the main park area.............

Everyone minus Joy.

Later, in a relaxing beautiful area.

This was the whale and dolphin show. They jumped as high as the top of the bleachers!

Those two whales on the stone walk are real. They weighed between 1-2 tons!

Scary huh? It is just a baby shark!

Joy, three seconds later.

Cacey and Patience

We also went to a seal show. They were trained extremely well and did all kinds of neat flips and imitations.

Clark at the seal show.

Close up.
Looks like Clark was taking the picture, considering that is his yellow shirt there.

All geared up to go....

Yes.

Everyone minus Joy, in the main center of the park.

This was after the roller coaster boat ride. We were all a little wet. We did that ride five times!
We did one other ride that soaked us almost completely. But, everyone agreed it was still very fun.

Walking around all day made us extremely hungry so afterwards we all went to Subway.

The Girls. (not all of them!)

Guess Who Graduated With Honors From Texas A&M?

Us girls agreed that the guy we met who graduated with Honors, is a fun debator, a great thinker, good looking, thinks he's smart (we have our doubts), drives a burgundy truck (it is not red), keeps a clean room, picks the banjo, likes breve lattes, reads interesting books, has to be the best because we are his sisters.

They all looked the same to us, but after we debated at length, we all agreed that it was definitely The Red Head. (And just think we are related to HIM).

Which one do you think it is?

The Red Head

Scary.................
This is the guy who got mad when he found out he did not make the Honors Roll.

We went to Starbucks a few times with this guy.

This guy thinks he is good looking.

I saw this guy at the gym.

This is his buddy.

This guy liked broccoli.
