Back to the real world

Christmas proved to be an amazing time for us as a family this year.  We had already taken all of our Christmas decorations down, but they hadn't been put away yet. Today, we got it all out of the house and up for the year.  It was alot of work, and I don't know how or why people would want to put up 4 or 5 Christmas trees! Too much to take down! Yuck!
This week the Ragsdales went back to normal life.  I went back to work (where I got a promotion! Can I just throw that in there? Woohoo!) and Grayson goes back to school tomorrow.  It's kinda nice to get back into a normal routine.
Today was spent cleaning: steaming the carpets, mopping the floors, laundry, all while corralling the boys and dogs and keeping everyone entertained.  Needless to say it is now 9 o'clock and the boys have been in bed for an hour - and no one has gotten up at all.  :) Ahhh.....relaxation....
And now for your viewing pleasure, here are some pictures of the boys taking their very first bath together tonight.

I love this. Brothers.

Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays!

We had such an amazing Christmas this year!  It is usually hectic for us, but this year all of the festivities and dinners were spread out over the past week rather than just trying to cram everything into two days.


Not only was it a wonderful time with family, but Jackson's 1st Christmas was a WHITE ONE!!!  I was soo excited to wake up to snow on Christmas morning!!!  It was beautiful!

Grayson with Santa.... hmm... Santa looks really familiar...


Jackson also thinks Santa resembles somebody....but who??


Grayson was really excited about something in his stocking at Meme and E-Pa's

My very festive husband got into the Christmas spirit this year!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
