For the past two years, Eric and I have spent
Christmas with each of our families. This works out well for the
most part, but we miss each other and the other half of our family.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Here, he & I exchange gifts on the Saturday
before Christmas. Above Eric is opening gifts sent to him from Mom (with
help from Zack.)

 |
| The roads were iced over again that Saturday |
Now I'm in Westville and it is Monday the 24th - my birthday.
This is Desirae's little sweetie, Prissy Pants. She is truly a
prissy little thing! |
| |
|
 |
 |
This is the neighbor dog that spends much of her time with
Desirae and at Mom & Dad's - Mom named her "Long Dog" |
Here Dad takes advantage of the warm weather to wash his "dirty"
truck.
(He claimed there was something on the hood.) |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Mom got a visit from her buddy Mary. |
Gran came out to watch me open my birthday gifts. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Here I am with my pile of gifts. |
Keith, soon to be my bother-in-law,
is anxious to see what I got. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Posing with my new workout shirt. |
And my new Razorback jacket - it is very nice! |

| The tree with all the gifts piled everywhere. |
Me & Desirae in front of the tree. |

| Passing out the gifts |
Dad beside his mountain of gifts. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Gran didn't feel well, but she made it through the opening. |
Keith got a big pile 'o stuff and a cat too. |
| |

| Ma helping with the gift opening. |
Mom was most excited by the gifts that contained sugar. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Keith will not have to buy clothes again for a year! |
Dad got a fishing shirt, "Quit staring at my bass" - it's very
classy! |
| |
|
 |
 |
On Christmas afternoon it was warm again, so Mom,
Dad, and I went to Natural Falls State Park in West Siloam Springs. |
Here are Mom & Dad in front of the small Greek columns.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
The park used to be called Dripping Springs and it used to have
a swinging bridge, but we still liked it even without the bridge. |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Our first view of the falls. |
It was really pretty there. |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
Me with each parent in front of the falls - I love
these pictures!

 |
| A small bridge along the hiking trail. |
Dad, blazing the trail. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Mom checking out the creek. |
And goofing off on the bridge. |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Here Mom poses on the overhang - it was a little
nerve-wracking to stand out there!
|
| |
|
 |
 |
Desirae opened her birthday gifts from me & Eric before
I left so that I could get to see her open them. |
Ma, looking disgruntled on Mom's shoulder
|
|
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
