Christmas backlog....

Sorry all, forgive us for we have taken a week off.  With good reason though, the Stiffs just returned from their first family-of-four-road-trip-over-three-hours.  We took the girls down to Dallas just after Christmas to visit Grant's family (thank you Ella for a fun-filled 3 days!) and hell if they weren't great in the car.  Pics to follow (perhaps tomorrow), but here are a few from the day de Santa before I retire for the evening.  4:45am wake-up call, 10 hour drive, countless movie and snack requests and 1,001 questions from Ryan along the way and I am exhausted......

White Christmas

The drums were a big hit....and ended up being a musical theme this year,  another drum set and keyboard were added to the mix later on that day courtesy of Grandma and Uncle Terry.   Mom and Dad are loving all the drum practice.

  A sneak peak from the Stiff Family Vacation and Ryan's new found love of hotels:

Stay tuned for Ryan's first haircut.
Yes, I said 'first', you read that correctly.
Yes, I know she is 2.5 years old already.
