Tis the season of lights, parties, shopping, dinners, programs, and get togethers.
As you can see from our little cousin Gordon, it often gets a little crazy. The best part is being with family and seeing friends whom you may have not seen for awhile.
Once we got to the lights everyone was thrilled and excited to see all the decorations.
It is so fun to experience Christmas with these two. It is always a party with Peyton and Lexi.
All the Rice cousins made the annual shopping trip for St. Nick.
Wrapping is a lot more fun when you have so many people to talk and laugh with.
Lexi was very persistant and helped me wrap every present we were assigned.
Peyton loved finding gifts for a boy just his age.
Last year we went to Zoo Lights but with it being so cold we thought we better just go during the day.
Happy Birthday to my Dad! We all met for dinner and lights and had a fabulous time.
Nana Anita has a special activity every Sunday in December from a family devotional, chocolate fountain, to our present exchange.
Kempton will open any present or undecorate any tree he can get his hands on.
All the kids got the chance to let Santa know what they wanted for Christmas. Peyton and Lexi let Santa know exactly what they wanted down to the color. Kempton didn't know what to think.
The kids loved ice skating at the annual Rice cousins party.
Kempton was just happy to be there!
Lexi and her four year old cousins.
The Christmas pinata is a tradition they have been doing since Lance was a little boy.
We wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
