The Wed. before Christmas we rushed home to get the house ready for a showing only to find the cutest little owl perched on our neighbors meter. As it happens, this was just outside our front door and we totally annoyed the poor thing by stepping out and taking lots of pictures as it tried to sleep. By dusk it flew away and I was hoping it would come back but it didn't.
On Christmas Eve it snowed ALL day and stuck around for Christmas morning. We went out to eat with Todd's family at Olive Garden and braved the icy conditions. What a perfect Christmas Eve.
Todd and his "snow dog" about to build a snowman.
Luke wasn't so sure about the snow. He was outside for about 5 minutes, stepped in a puddle of freezing water and had to go change. I think he is more of a warm weather kid.
Santa Toddler...
The first peak at what Santa brought for Luke. Hey kid, there is a door you could use!
Happy Christmas baby.
We continued our Ragas tradition of BLT's, banana french toast, mimosas and The Brumleve's coming over to watch Luke open up his presents on Christmas morning.
Crazy arms...
Too much present opening can wear a boy out! Here we are on our way to Mike and Judy's for the annual Christmas day extravaganza.
Still on the way...
Raymond and Luke teaching Todd how to transform "those new fangled toys."
The Simm's are now proud owners of a state of the art karaoke machine. Here is Avri throwing up a gang sign while rapping to Snoop Dog. Just kidding I think it was "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie.
Guess who found Grandma Judy's chapstick??? And loved it???
The day after Christmas we got to have lunch with a big group of friends who hadn't been together since last New Years. Here are Allison and Tim before Luke attacked.
What a beautiful family! There were a couple different ways I thought of captioning this pic but that seemed to be the most entertaining to me. Really this is Jeff holding Avri and Mike holding Raymond (both children belong to Mike).
Yes, ladies and gentlemen we are at the bunny ears stage. Funny though, I don't think Avri was the one who started it. Jeff and the beautifully, banged Steph. Have a few drinks guys???
Luke really thought Tim needed some pacifier therapy after lunch. What a good sport he was.
Who is having more fun Steph or the kids?
For Christmas both Todd and Jeff received fake mustache kits. We laughed so hard playing with them. It was the first annual Ragas/White Mustache Party.
"That's Officer White to you."
Of course Luke enjoyed his mustache too! The Mustache Party spawned a hilarious new facial expression we have creatively deemed "the mustache face." Will take a picture for later blogging...
Have you ever seen a better looking group??
