christmas is going to be about a 2 week long festivity for us so you're going to be seeing this for a while. lots of pictures, lots of memories; all that i don't want to forget. so...sorry if you're not family, these posts will be loooong for a while to come.
2nd reimer family christmas. short and sweet; lots of love yous, thank yous, smiles, kisses, laughs. lane got a monkey backpack and an electric toothbrush. totally him, he has been happy since.
dana and jeff made a trip down from his family's christmas to spend the DAY with us. what a great day it was, just went way too fast!
...how fun is it to be pregnant with my sister?! LOVE IT!
thank you for the great gifts aunt dana and uncle jeff! push, pull,
and ride!
the evening after dana and jeff left, we made a fast decision to drive to omaha...that night(!) to get ahead of the weather. so at 11:30 we packed up the car and started one of the longest, most stressful, ten hours we've had in a car. snow.wind.ice.
...our poor car when we got to my parents house.
who knew skipping a nights sleep was so hard on vance and i? we were pretty miserable(to be around). SO tired!
BUT so HAPPY we were with family for christmas eve!
lane took over the tradition of having to play the piano before any gifts are open...
he wasn't
that into opening gifts but got a kick out of the bubble wrap.
