Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas Holiday break. After Santa came and we opened our gifts, we loaded up and went to Snyder for ten days. We had a great time seeing everybody, getting presents, and eating like little piggies. It is nice to get away and get off of our schedule for a little while. Rachel and Luke were treated to several new experiences. They went to an Ira High basketball game, spent the night with Aunt Johnnie, Uncle Aaron, Tenley and Miles, learned about the dairy and got to feed and see a brand new baby calf. They talk about their night with the other Stansells almost everyday. The dairy is a great place for kids!! I got to get away to have lunch and see a movie with my Mom and Dena. It was fun to get away and the movie was good too! Chris got to go to the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. He was wined and dined by his company. He got to see the game from the Bell Helicopter Suite. He really enjoyed the experience. We also celebrated our Eleventh Anniversary! My gift was concert tickets to see Brad Paisley in Lubbock later this month. We are looking forward to our date! We also celebrated a big day for our sweet little nephew Miles. He turned One Year Old on January 4th!!! He is a big boy now. We had a wonderful time on our little vacation. We are back home and back in the groove now.
