Christmas with Poppy and Gigi

We got to Marble Falls late Christmas night, but we woke up the next morning with a lot more energy and girls were ready to open those presents after a yummy breakfast Poppy fixed for us... Rylie, Poppy and Katie





Another load that they got to bring home. What wonderfully blessed girls with not only materials things, but most importantly all the love that all of our families bestow upon them.


How sweet...

Christmas Cookies by Nana...one of Rylie's favorites!!
Game Time...Rylie and Katie both got new games and it didn't take long to break them open!!



We took Katie's new BB Gun down with us and she was quite persistant that we get it out for some first time shootin'!! She did well with Daddy's help!

Rylie had to get in on the action!

This is the girls after every shot...running up to see where it hit...so funny!

Always posing...I have no idea why...LOL!


Katie, Nana and Rylie


Katie got a little more shooting in before it was time to leave!
Thank you, Paul and Lisa for a wonderful time!

Look at all those presents...and this tree was the tree my Mama (Katie Mae's namesake) used in the 50's. It is has a color wheel that shines on it and the tree spins...it is so amazing that it all works!! And very special, too!
