The Rasco Gang

Ok so here are some pictures from the week of Christmas starting on Monday the 21st through Sunday the 27th!

Monday Night our dear friend Moe came over as "Santa"
Jax was absolutely surprised and Maddox, well, he didn't like him! He screamed from the second Santa walked in the door until the second he walked out the door!! This picture was BEFORE Santa arrived!

Tuesday we went on our annual family hunting trip. Me, Jason, Jax, Dad, & Heather. It was such a fun trip and awesome experience because Heather shot her first buck ever on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning I shot one as well. Dad was pretty proud to have both of his daughters shoot a deer and be able to be there with us! Heather said she just knew that Pop was there with us too and I KNOW he had a huge smile on his face!
Here's to you POP!

Wednesday afternoon when we returned home, Mom had all the stuff ready for Jax to begin making his Christmas candy! Christmas Wreaths were always our favorite growing up so it was fun to watch Jax get to make them too!

WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! I was so excited that my boys had their first ever white Christmas! Thursday morning we had our Rasco Christmas out at Jason's parents. The kids had so much fun getting to play in the snow!

After the Rasco Christmas, we headed out to mom and dads. Due to the crazy snow storm it took us an hour and a half to make it out to Ransom Canyon which usually only takes 20 minutes. Needless to say, the drive was LONG and SLOW with 2 tired screaming kids....but we made it and mom had a delicious dinner and BIG drinks made for us when we arrived. Her and dad took the boys, gave them their baths, and let Jason and I relax and regain our sanity! She also had their matching Christmas pj's washed and ready! Jax knew Santa was on his way so here he is hugging his brother and buttering everyone up! ;)

Jason and Jax pouring out the reindeer food! The reindeer were able to spot the food easily because of the snow.....it sparkled.

SANTA DID COME AFTERALL!!.....he also ate his snacks AND left Jax a letter ;)

Santa brought Maddox a 4-wheeler

and Jax a Harley

Because of the weather, the Engelking's were not able to make it on Christmas day like we usually do, so we went back to mom and dads on Sunday to have Christmas with Granny, Debbie, Doyle, Dawn & Dustin. We had such a wonderful time but all of us were so exhausted! That night, Maddox fell asleep while eating his supper.....he has NEVER done this!

Merry Christmas to ALL and to ALL a good night!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!! Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!
We are headed to San Antonio to spend New Years with our dear friends, Jim & Lisa. Then friday we will be meeting up with lots of other people and Saturday will be at the Alamodome supporting our RED RAIDERS!!!
