Ice skating

On the Saturday after Christmas, my niece, Allison, was visiting my mom and dad, so we all went ice skating along with Brendan and his girlfriend, Krisden.

































Nicholas liked going fast, but he always wanted the insurance of someone holding on!

















And naturally, we had the paparazzi to contend with:









Everyone had a good time. I asked Nicholas if he wanted to go ice skating again. "Sure," he said. "Next year."

Christmas Day

Christmas morning started about 6:30 am.










































































Dash enjoyed his new toy.






We had gifts from Pennsylvania......












......and gifts from Texas.












Riley got a giant dog.......




.....and Nicholas helped her play with it!

















Riley enjoyed her gifts too.















She especially loved the rattle that Megan made her!







Uncle Brendan was there for the early morning festivities....












...along with Grandma and Grandpa.









Grandma always thinks we spend too much.












Even Tia and Drew got in on the act.












Riley just liked playing with everyone in the family.












And we even got visit (virtually) with our family in Houston.









After everyone went home, the Murrays enjoyed watching Nicholas's new movie, Wall-E.


Some of us enjoyed it more than others!!
