Christmas 2012

Christmas in Dodge City:

Before we open gifts the grandchildren always sing Silent Night and place Jesus in the manger which is shown just above their heads in the picture below.  Then,  our kids did a little prayer presentation before everyone opened the gifts.  Keylee is reading her prayer below (clearly getting help from Kira, Keenan and even Joe)

 Joe's brother, Mike, gave Keenan his first BB Gun and protective eye-wear. We wouldn't want him to shoot his eye out.

Christmas at our house in Manhattan:

The kids were pretty excited about their gifts from Santa.  Keylee wanted a Furby so she can use the iPad app to interact with it.  Behind Keylee is the American Girl Doll box which Keylee asked for the doll "Kit."

 Keenan wanted all things Skylander.  He was very excited to get the carrying case and battle arena.

 Kira asked for a variety of items this year ranging from clothes, boots and the Darth Vader alarm clock that she is holding in the picture below.

Overall, they seemed very satisfied with the treasures that Santa brought them.
