After indulging in the best breakfast burritos in the world, I'm ready to open presents.
Paul shows the cat his Christmas gift--another toy that he can ignore.
Jub inspects the new purse he gave me for Christmas--the cat has great taste in accessories
Totally ignoring his new toy, Jub checks out a box from one of my gifts.Still the 23rd: Christmas with my parents, stepbrothers and their families in Sunray.
Madness ensues--six children, lots of presents.
Abigail and I model her new John Deere "talkie-talkies," a gift from her Uncle Gene.
Donna helps Holliday with the laser-tag game. Holliday loved the new robe she received as a gift and didn't take it off after she opened it up.
Benjamin examines a combo John Deere tractor/book from Uncle Gene. (Uncle Gene likes John Deere.)
Benjamin checks out Daegan and Garrick's new RC racecars.
Christmas Eve (round #1): At my maternal grandparents' house in Amarillo.
Learning young the joys of the recliner.
Dad and Granddad C. The whole thing just wears them out.
Who needs all those new toys when there are 20 year old blocks to play with at Gran's house?
Donna concentrates on the "Shocking Memory" game while Abigial supervises. Remember, don't set the shock to high!
Christmas Eve (round #2): With my paternal grandparents at my uncle's house in Amarillo.
Just as we suspected--he really just wants the paper
Lots of fun (and lots of paper).
Christmas Day: At my sister Amy's house in Amarillo.
Paul and Benjamin discuss the ugly, yet comfortable, design of Crocs
Amy is obviously delighted with her new Christmas book. Hey, it came with a bonus ornament! Score!
Abigail, a study in orange, goes for the orange Play-Doh with Grandmother and Uncle Jammie
Mom, Dad, Paul, and Donna
Granddad B. just takes it all in.
David and Benjamin play with some of Benjamin's new tractors. (Grandpa likes John Deere, too.)
Abigail models her new pig wrap, much to Benjamin's delight. December 26: back in Albuquerque at the inlaws' house
The quilt my mother-in-law made for Paul and me.
Paul discovers the chocolate at the bottom of his stocking.
Paul and his mom. Apparently, it's hereditary. December 27: breakfast with friends who are in town visiting her family
Sandy, Corey, and Kyra are a little back-lit.
But look at the cool "kit tent" they got for Jubjub. And he's actually gone in it more than once so it's a very successful purchase.

Great pics, Carrie! I love Jub in his tent and the one of Paul & his mom relaxing in the chairs.
Sorry about all the snow but it would be kind of fun to have in Atlanta.
Looks like a great Christmas! That quilt is gorgeous and I love the pig wrap and the cat tent.
I broke down and bought my cats a fleecy bed to put by the heat register, fully thinking that they wouldn't ever use it, and they actually do. Maybe I should consider a cat tent next?!?
Happy New Year to you.
Very cute pics! I especially like the recliner series... funny!
Happy New Year!
