Christmas at the Reimer Ranch

Christmas at the Reimer Ranch went super fast this year.  We had a lot of fun and the pickup was a little heavier on the drive home!  

Sydney's stocking was full the night we arrived!

Socks and bath toys!!  




More stocking goodies on Christmas Eve morn!

Patricia and Sydney get along so good….Sydney loves following Patricia around!  Those girls gotta stick together!

Jakey's stocking stuffer slippers were too small for him…but Sydney sure loved them!

Papa Steve and Grandma Elaine are getting a new puppy!  The litter came over so they could pick one out.  Sydney wasn't too fond on petting them, but she sure would look at them and laugh! 










Even mommy held a puppy!

Our Family Christmas

Brian and I are still struggling a little bit to create "our family Christmas tradition".  Since we are always in Chamberlain for Christmas Eve and in Chancellor for Christmas day, we need to pick a separate time to do our Christmas with Sydney.  For now, it is fine to pick a random night to exchange gifts etc., but in the future, I would really like to establish a time that we can do our family dinner, drive and look at Christmas lights, and then exchange gifts.  We don't need to worry about it quite yet…Sydney probably won't remember!  Here is some snippets from our family Christmas 2013.

A toy that makes a lot of noise!

Opening her present…a new sled! 

Of course, the object that held her attention all night.  A Box.  

Such a ham on top of the box!

Sydney Meets Santa!

Santa came to Chancellor so it worked out perfectly that Sydney had spent the night out at the farm and could go meet him Saturday morning!  She didn't appreciate sitting on Santa's lap AT ALL.  See the progression of her reaction below:

Not so bad...

I don't think I like this guy...

Yep, pretty sure I don't...

Get me out of here!!  

Seriously mom!!  




This toy from Santa is pretty good I guess.  

Maybe Santa isn't so bad!!
