Virts' Family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with Jeremy's family on the 21st. Jeremy's brother, Josh, was home for the holidays so we seized the opportunity for a fun-filled family get-together. We started off Christmas in Belt with some sledding in the park. The kids had a great time and it was so fun to watch all the girls and grown-ups relax and have a good time.

Jeremy did some sled pulling.....

and so did Grandpa Jerry,


Josh did some driving or teaching to drive...

Jeremy had some drivers too...

and Grandma Nita did some sledding.

Chloe, Rylee, and Abbie

Ashley and Abbie

Caitlyn and Rylee


Rylee was a trooper and lasted outside just as long as the big girls.


After we had spent a few hours sledding we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's for sandwiches for lunch and, of course, some present opening. The ritual of opening presents happens so fast and is kind of a whirlwind here..I wish I got pictures of the girls opening everything, but it all happens so fast that I am happy to catch just a few pictures. Abbie was spoiled by getting a jewelry maker from Auntie Rosie and Uncle Josh (this is one of the things she wanted the most) and Zhu Zhu pet houses and matching Abbie and doll dresses from Grandma and Grandpa.

Rylee was in 7th heaven because she got a Dora trike (Big Wheel) that sings and makes noise from Grandma and Grandpa and a Sit and Play from Auntie Rosie. These fun toys, plus those of my nieces, made for a fun afternoon of playing. We even headed outside again for some more time on the 4-wheelers and sledding.

As the day started to wind down we stayed for pizza for dinner. The girls started to entertain Grandma and Grandpa with their true colors.

Here is the naked chicken dance that Rylee knows is always a hit and full of laughs

Sometimes dirty socks make good gloves too....
