Christmas.....Act 3

The Reason for the Season
Move over Hulk.. Aly's coming your way!
Guess dishes took too long for Connor so he decided to just take a nap.

Score, Grandma came through!
Yes, Cale it is a video rocker.  He was quick to ask me if this was just the box or if it really was the chair.
Typically the Dunlap Christmas on Christmas Day would finish off our holiday season but this year we have one more Act to go.  Stay tuned for Act 4 with my Mom on Sunday!  

Christmas.. Act 2

Santa came to town..........
Christmas morning ran like clockwork this year thanks to Miss Breckyn.  She had everything planned and scheduled perfectly.  We even had assigned seating!  It is great to know that no matter how big your children get, Christmas is magical.

Old MacBryan Had a Farm

E..I..E..O  and on this farm he had a cow???This is the first time my husband has been this close to a cow( that hasn't been on his fork) in his entire life.  My dad has a feedlot and apparently this critter use to be someone's pet.  He said she has a hard time joining in with the herd and will hang out by the fence waiting for him.  Move over Gracie, I think Mabel maybe coming to stay!  LOL

Christmas.. Act 1

Happy Birthday David!Grandma Linda made me promise not to do Dad's shopping this year so he headed to the nearest diamond store.  What girl doesn't like a little bling?  Good job Dad!
Grandpa is ready to brave the elements to do chores.   
The grandkids settled down long enough for a picture but they didn't know which camera to look at.
Christmas Eve would not be the same without a trip to the farm.  My dad and stepmom now live in my grandparents house so it brings back many childhood memories for my sister and I.  It only seems like yesterday my cousins and I were begging our parents to hurry up with dishes so we could open up presents just as my niece was today.

As Far as the Eye Can See...





We added a little culture into our trip to Kansas City when our friend Brian, a high school history teacher, took us to the World War 1 Museum.  It was interesting and I must admit, I did learn a thing or two even though like back in high school, I fell asleep during the videos.  Oops!!  As a bonus we got an awesome view of KC from the top of the tower.
