Christmas with the Pluckers

It was another busy Christmas at the Plucker house!  each year it seems like there is more people there…oh wait, that's because there is!!  


Grandma and her girls


Grandpa and his girls


Hannah, another mother to Sydney

Sydney is always so busy at Grandma's house.  This is her favorite book to read there. 

Parker and Sydney seem to get along quite well.  It is very comical to watch them interact with each other…..it is a lot of pokes and jabs!  

Very interested in Parker

Notice how Parker is just as tall as Sydney!  She still has him in the weight category though!  

Look at that cutie pie!  Seriously…he might be the happiest baby ever!!  


Great Grandma Mari and her grandchildren

Christmas morning.  Haley was helping Sydney open her stocking!  it was so cute listening to her tell "Ninney" what was in there! 




Haley helping Sydney up the stairs to go get breakfast.  They are so cute together! 


Sydney got a new winter hat! 


Good thing her belly is so big or she could probably fit through there! 

Big girl on the stairs.  She is so close to mastering going down stairs now….pretty soon we won't need to barricade the entry way at grandma's house! 



Sydney mooching some food off of Aunt Karen.  She is usually pretty tight with whoever has food!  




A new rocking chair for Christmas!  She LOVES it and is finally understanding that she can't stand up in it!  She rocks her stuffed animals and it is adorable! 


I love this sequence of pictures with Sydney and Parker…..kissing cousins!! 


Pretty unsure of what is going on here


Parker is touching me! 


Quit touching me Parker!  I love how he is smiling in this picture. 



You guys want us both to look at the same time?  fat chance!!  


Oh fine, but we aren't going to smile!  


Grandma Vickie and her two youngest grandchildren.  Merry Christmas Grandma!!

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!  

Daddy helping her look inside.  



Socks and bath toys!!  




More stocking goodies on Christmas Eve morn!

a puppy!  





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



Amber and her nieces :) 

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

Mommy/Sydney selfie








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! 



Snuggling with her baby. 





picking on the big boys while they try to play iPad. 










Christmas Eve dinner….lasagna!  yummy

Brian assuming the usual position as bartender…mixing up the Christmas slush!

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 Family pic earlier in the day

Opening her stocking

A toy that makes a lot of noise! 

Bringing Brian his stocking

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!!
