Christmas season

Kyra with our tree

Not a great family picture, but it works

Kyra adding the finishing touches (with help from dad, of course)

Not too fond of Santa this year
If that is not ornery, I don't know what it!

I think we might have our hands full....

This picture just reminds me a lot of Travis and I when we were little

Cheking out the movie

Papaw and Kyra
I figured since I have been home sick the last 2 days, I would update my blog since I had some time.  The lovely flu has been making its rounds at the Leman household, but Christmas It just reminded me so much of us when we were that age.  Kyra just keeps getting more ornery every single day.  She must get that from her dad!! 
We obviously went shopping the day after Thanksgiving and got some pretty good deals.  I think this year is the first year that we have driven home in the daylight, but we did leave at 4:00 in the morning so I think that was enough for the day.  It was an interesting ride home, with Carrie stuck behind a ladder and everyone holding bags on their laps since the back was already full.  We had a blast!
We also went to get our Christmas tree on Sunday, which is always fun.  This tradition has been around for my family for as long as I can remember (except last year when mom and dad decided to be scrooges).  We go find our tree, cut it down, visit the gift shop, then have hot chocolate on the way home.  I love huge, tall, fat Christmas trees.  I thought that is what we got this year, but it turned out to be a little on the short side....oh well! 
Well, that's all for now.  Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
