Christmas Day 2008

Me and Mom Christmas morning. This was 1 out of many pics. She kept closing her eyes. Finally a good one.

Zane and Kara. Typical Zane face in pictures. He can never look normal.

Zach and Rachel.

The pups, Jenna and Jasmine, 1 yr later. You can check out the pics from last year's Christmas on this blog and see how much they've grown.

Rachel and Coda. Such a sweet puppy. Always likes to cuddle.

Me and Christopher. He can't have a normal face in pictures these days.

Zach and Mom posing for scary cooking pictures. She was making his birthday chocolate pie. He celebrated his 29th birthday, Dec 25th.

Us taking our usual Christmas afternoon nap. Good stuff.

Christmas Eve 2008 and Traditions

We are all about the traditions for the Christmas holiday. So we went to our annual Christmas Eve party at the Kunko's house. Such a beautiful house and wonderful people. Makes it feel like Christmas. So we always have to get our picture in front of the tree.

Me and Rachel, Zach's girlfriend. Can you tell who's from California? Yep I didn't know I was so ghost-like. :)
Me, Kara (Zane's Fiance), and Mommy Klemo

Zach and Rachel. Zane and Rob always play some Christmas tunes on their guitar at this party and Zach joined them. I don't know why I don't have a pic of Zane and Rob. Maybe it will pop up later.

Me and Zacharoo.

Zach and Rachel......again.

Mom and Nancy Stowe.

We went over to the Humphrey's house to say hello and chat. And to take a photo of the group. This is me and Rob saying, "Come on...we are ready to take the pic." And I'm also saying, "I have to have a fireplace in my next residence." So warm and cozy.

And here's all the gang. From bottom, left to right. Kara, Rachel, Mommy Klemo, Me, Melanie (JT's fiance), Katy. Back to the left. Rob, Zane, Zach, Chris, JT, and Jimmy. These are memories frozen in time people!


We always go looking at lights on Christmas Eve so here are Zach and Rachel in front of this house that had so many lights and other gadgets in their yard that it was like a Winter Wonderland.


We always open one present on Christmas Eve before we go to bed. So this is us documenting the giving of the first one. More to come on why Zach and Zane are wearing a funky sweater and turtleneck.

Trip to Las Cruces Over Christmas

We went to NM for the Christmas holiday and one of those days we got to go to Las Cruces and visit with some friends. We had lunch with Regina and Ruben but I forgot to get a pic. We got to eat at one of our favorite restuarants there, Lorenzo's. Yummy. This pic is of the mountains going into Las Cruces. Chris used this new program to give it a little more color because NM is looking very brown and dry as always.


We also got to see Justin, Desi, and their new baby boy, Caden. What a cute kid.

Winter Stuff

These are the people that Chris works with day in and day out. Jenna, Amanda, and Curtis. This is before their work Christmas party.

It was pretty cold the week before Christmas. The fountain in front of Chris' work froze. No snow though. Just ice. Bummer.

Fun with the Gang

Our friends Nik and Carla came to visit for a day and our other friend Chris had a bday party. So we all got together.

Chris and Mara's son Major. A Cowboy fan from birth.

Me and Mr. Christopher

The Deramcy Family.

Secondhand Serenade

Being in the city we've gotten to go to a few concerts and we went to the House of Blues to see Secondhand Serenade. We went with Alina. Her husband Jason was supposed to go but had to do work stuff out of town. Bummer, but we had a good time. It decided to sleet and snow for the few minutes we were running from the parking lot to the building. Then it quit. It was crazy, but fun.
