Pettis Christmas

Here are a few pictures from the Pettis Christmas. We had tons of fun with Colby and Dylan this year!

Here is Colby diving in to his presents.

Dylan loves Thomas the train! That is all he wanted this year.

Every year, dad makes us hold all of our presents up for a picture.

Christmas Breakfast

Every year we have a Christmas Breakfast with the Williams and the Wests. They are some of my parents best friends and we have all grown up together. We have been doing this breakfast for many years. We rotate whose house it is at every year. This year we went to the Williams house. Our families are all growing, so we have more people join us each year. Wendy didn't get to come this year because she was at home with baby Tyler. Adam also didn't get to come because he had to work.
We always have wonderful food and then exchange gifts. The kids draw names and just give gift cards. The men swap gifts and give the same things each year- Lowes or Mark Outdoors gift cards. They are easy to please! The women are the only ones who actually buy a gift for each other. It is always a lot of fun!

Christmas Picture 2008

We finally got around to having our Christmas picture made this year. We have been so busy that we haven't had a chance to do it yet. We might be sending out New Years cards instead of Christmas Cards! We tried to bribe Diesel with many different things to get him to sit down and be still. He is not very good at being still. In some of these pictures it may look like Diesel is eating something on the ground, and he is. We bribed him with treats, a Santa hat to play with and ice. The pictures may not be perfect, but it definitely catches our true life at home with Diesel and Macy! Everyday is an adventure with those two!
