1...2...3...Christmas's DONE!

Alic asked Grandma Lux for planes!

Picture number 1:  First Christmas started at mom and dad's on Christmas Eve.  We FINALLY had a Christmas Eve where no one had to rush away.  We got there Thursday night and stayed over Thur and Fri night.  We opened a few presents, ate, opened some more, ate again...such a nice time with my family!  The big gift dad made the boys this year was a shed.  All the kids got a shed...Luke and Em's is for their cat; Eric and Alic's is for their semi's; Owen and Ian for their tractors...and well, Neil had to have one too for his tractors.  LOL 



Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Christy were home from North Pole, Alaska!!!!

Chrismas number 2:  Salazar's at 8 am Christmas morn!!! Whew!  Christy and Jeremy were heading to church early with his fam, so we went early to open gifts.  Such a nice time with all of them there...we were missing Troy's wife and step son (dumb snow...she works for snow removal business)...but the boys got their fill of Broncos attire and we were lazy all day after a great breakfast.



Christmas at the Roders....Myrna & Allen.

Christmas number 3:  So about 2pm we headed out to the Roders.  This picture isn't from that day though...that would have been too much! :)  We went there for supper on Christmas night and this pic if from when Kelly's boys got here the following Tuesday.  By now, they were all COMPLETLY spoiled rotten!!!!!!! :)  Missing were Katie, Alex and Payton (Kelly's sis n fam) from Tuscon, AZ.  But enjoyed a fun filled day here Tuesday with lasagna for lunch and prime rib for supper. YUMMY!



All 4 boys getting ready to open Santa gifts at my house!

Well, Kelly and I went and got Jack and Pres on Sunday the 26th.  (Yes, nonstop since Christmas...I was wiped out by this time!)  So when we got home they were all chomping at the bit to open Santa gifts, and mom and dad gifts.  I really don't think there are enough here...do you?!?!?!  They LOVED their gifts and they have been spread around my house all week!!!!!!!!!  I NEED A CLEANING LADY!  Fun though, can't lie.  The big gifts this year:  Eric got new golf clubs for his bday....so that was a double, but also got a cool new bb hoop to hang on the door; Alic and Jack got Nintendo DSI's...all they've been doing!; and Pres got a Bumblebee helmet that makes sounds from the mouth.
FUN FUN FUN!

**Kel got jeans, golf club, book, dress pants, and tie clips...I got snowmobiling attire (shoot...forgot to take a pic of me dressed up! hahaha, new outfit from Buckle and perfume)

What a blast this year was, and now I sit here and it's all done.  That's ok...time to get back to reality and get back to my routine.  As happy I am to enter in 2011...it has been a teary start!  Last night we bid mom and dad safe travels as they head to Texas for 3 months...said goodbye to Jack and Pres tonight and not sure when we will see them again...and Wednesday night will say goodbye to Christy and fam for another 7 months or so! :(  I know it will only get better!

This year is already planned well in advance and not sure where I'm going to find the time to get everything done.  Kelly and I are heading to the Deadwood, SD end of Jan for a snowmobiling trip...OH  he bought me one too!!!!!!! (check pic in blog below!), we are heading to Rascal Flatts concert in mid Jan; we are going to San Francisco in Feb for a National Principal's conference, and mom and dad want us to come down in March!!!!!!  Again...WHEW!

So, I am ready and willing for 2011...I know this will be the year!  (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! ;)

LOVE, HUGS, BLESSING, and HOPE to you all in 2011!
