Christmas Day


Christmas Day was a whirlwind of activity.  We started it off with the Whetstone family opening the presents Santa left under the tree.  Sadly, Aunt Jamye wasn't able to be with us as she was in San Diego with Brent for the holiday.  We missed you both, Aunt Jamye & Brent!  Can't wait to see you soon.  :)

Look what we found with all the other gifts
Now you see me...
 Now you don't
We love you, Baxter boy!
Santa's little helper

The boy wasn't going to let the Christmas celebration interfere with his eating schedule.  He tried a new food for breakfast on Christmas Day-organic acorn squash.  He ate it right up. Since we'd already tried a food in the squash family, I figured all would probably be okay.  ;)
The newest addition to the Whetstone family - Annabelle (aka Belle, aka Bella)

My Christmas gift from the hubs.  My new "huggies" earrings.  Love them!

"Don't look at me...that smell is coming from Dad!"

Once we finished celebrating Christmas morning, we set out for lunch with the Sorensens & a visit to the hospital to see Grandpa Gary {& Uncle Josh too). Granddad offered to help get Reid ready to go. This is what I found when I entered their bedroom:
Granddad thought the Santa on R's pants was supposed to face the front (forget the fact that they are pulled all the way up as far as they will go)!  :) 
 Reid didn't seem to mind one bit!
 All better.  "Thanks for getting me dressed, Granddad!"
 I had to post this picture because R is oblivious to the fact that his grandmother is trying to bite him & his granddad is throwing gang signs around.
We returned from our Sorensen family visit to find the rest of our Whetstone family gathered for Christmas.

Great Aunt Carmen, Reid & Aiyanna
 Maybe it's the red hair, but Aiyanna could make R laugh just by looking at him.  He had so much fun playing with her.
 Great Uncle James & Reid
 Joking with his great uncle
 Miss Chloe & Mommy Penny
 Cheyenne is always willing to flash that sweet smile!
 Someone needed a break from all the activity
Kyndal - overcome with excitement! 
 Kaylyn found a yummy snack

 Love.this.boy.
 Uncle Tony & Reid
 Talking with Nanny

 Reid loves his puppy dogs
 eldest of the bunch
youngest of the bunch 


 Reid is fixated...should I be worried?
 As if his dad wasn't rough enough, Granddad said he needed to "toughen the boy up!"  Hold on, Reid!
 Great Uncle Charlie had to work on Christmas Day, but he and Great Aunt Sandi came over the next day for a visit.

We had such a wonderful time with "ya'll" at Christmas, too bad it had to end so soon. Reid tell your mommy and daddy they need to ask for transfers to the Corpus area (hint, hint). Can't wait to see everyone again. Hugs and Kisses.
