Don't mess with Christmas

We just returned from our Christmas in TX. It was soo great to be on the ranch again. The kids had a few rough patches...but I'm sure it was due to being off schedule/routine and the new surroundings.

My little traveling buddies are the best!

Tyler: Well, Ms. Montero has busted teeth like me.  She has skin like our family.  She has black eyes and ton hair. Me: Ton?? Do you mean tan?? Tyler:  Um....yes, tan...ugh... geez Mom, you knew what I meant. Me: Avery, what do you love about Mommy? Avery:  When you kiss me goodbye. Me...
