Stockings First

Wobby's turn

Ash gave Wobby: recipe card holder, and a beautiful necklace

Brans gave Wobby: an orange and bag of cookies, and a glass figurine of a horse and carriage

The boys had been teasing Dad all month long about their funny present they got him, sure enough it put a smile on all our faces: TOILET PAPER. Good job boys!!

NOW ON TO SANTA GIFTS:

After the ipod's were opended (kindle fire) they both said that they didn't need to open anymore presents, they were happy with the ipods, that was quite a shock to hear! It took about 20 minutes for them to decided to open the rest.

Ash got Dad: a deer figurine

Brans got Dad: a 'Worlds Best Dad' hat

TIME TO PLAY

Dad getting in and enjoying the fun too

Such a fun Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Did SANTA Find Us?

HE SURE DID! Santa's requested snacks.....all eaten up!
And the boys fast asleep in their beds.
(They get to sleep in the same room on Christmas Eve, a tradition I did evey year as a girl growing up)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CHRISTMAS EVE

On Christmas Eve, the boys get to open up their presents from Wobby that have been under their Christmas trees in their rooms all month long.

And every year its the same thing: pjs, slippers, and an ornament.

After presents are opened, then its time to jump in the car and head to Hardware Ranch to visit the Elk. On the way up the canyon, Dad surprises us with presents too.

HATS & Metal decorations brought home from the NFR in Vegas. Wobby got surprised with a 3 tier plate holder (LOVE IT!)

Hardware Ranch, we have been going up here now for the last 7 years on Christmas Eve, and every year the weather is different. This year, is was SO NICE. Standing in the sun, you actually felt a little hot, kind of a nice change!

Because the weather has been so nice this year, the big elk haven't needed to come down to get fed hay, so this is about the biggest elk we seen, and it kind of has some weird genetics goin on, looks more like a deer rack than an elk rack.

Enjoying the sleigh ride.

Then off to Grandmother's House we go.

We look forward to spending Christmas Eve every year with the good ol Parker Family.

Branson LOVES his best buddy Caitlyn.

THANK YOU Grandma & Grandpa for making such wonderful memories every Christmas Eve!

WE LOVE YOU ALL PARKER FAMILY!
