Watch out world....

....Tracy got a selfie stick!!!

Playing with Toys

I'm We hope everyone had an excellent Christmas!  Mike bought me a new camera lens, so I had to go play with it while Reese played with his new soccer ball.   He got one of those smart balls that tells him how hard he kicks and how many rotations it makes per minute.  It talks to his smartphone.  Pretty cool!  He'll be using it for his science fair project in the next few months.

These birds were actually pretty far away.....the shots here are the zoom off the original photos (see below).  

Christmas

The teenage boy has figured out that the presents don't go anywhere if he sleeps in!!!  So, he didn't join us downstairs until 10:30AM.  LOL.  In the meantime, Mike and I decorated a gingerbread house and got breakfast ready.  We also watched another episode of Jane the Virgin while waiting on the kid.  It's a kitchy show.....sort of a telenovela inside a telenovela!!!  

I posed for a few photos with the dog (and his cute sweater).  I am wearing my new holiday running shirt once again.....have to get as many wears out of it as possible, before I put it away for the season!

Hey....who's that tall kid?  It's Reese....he has joined us for Christmas!!!

Santa was kind this year.  Reese has spotted the autographed soccer ball (Christiano Ronaldo)

He also managed to get an iWatch.  Sweet!!!

I decided to make the cat wear the sweater.  The dog was overly excited by this....he knows it is his sweater.....not the cat's sweater.  :-)

Sweater is back on the dog, and he got some hugs.

FIFA had a present under the tree.  Here he is.....eagerly awaiting!!!

What?!?!?!  I have to wait for you to take the tags off?

Aaaah.....All is good

That's a big pile of trash....and a cat!

Rocking the sporty Ray-Bans

Mike with his cool LED lights, that he didn't know he needed!!!!

Xmas Eve Walk

Beautiful snow free afternoon on the path!

Merry Christmas

We never did get around to making Christmas cards this year, so I made the boys go out to the backyard this afternoon for some family photos.

Reese could be a 70's fashion model.  Side note.....this was his grandfather's suit.  It fits him perfect and he almost looks like he belongs in that era.  We picked it out for him and figured he would protest.  He hammed it up.  LOL.
