Our Christmas was quiet, but good. On Christmas Eve we ate dinner as a family, then watched the Broncos get slaughtered by the Chargers. Despite my emotions over Jay Cutler (Broncos quarterback) learning to run while protecting the ball, we decided to venture out and take a walk. Every year there is a street in Brawley that goes all out on Christmas decorations. Although the lights are interesting to look at, my favorite part is Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve all of the houses turn off the lights and line their street and driveways with luminaries. It's very peaceful. We parked our 'burb and walked up and down the street. It was great. Our good friends, Carter and Sandra live on that street and we stopped by their home for a minute to say hello. While there, another family we are close to, Sean, Jennifer and Sidney stopped by. It was good to see everyone. Christmas morning we got up and opened stockings, then ate homemade waffles for breakfast and opened the rest of our presents. This was one of those years where I felt like we scored big with almost all of the presents. The kids spent the rest of the day playing with their new toys. After our prime rib dinner, we spent the evening watching some old family videos and trying to relax. The pictures will do the rest of the talking...here are a few of my favorite - .         The Schrock side of the family is very expressive, and it's not very often that you wonder what we're thinking. The Rollins side, however, is a little more reserved. I have given J presents that I was just sure he would be nuts over and he has responded with a flat "Wow, that's nice, honey." It's become a family joke. This year, I guess J decided to try some emotion while opening his gift from me. The sarcasm is dripping....
     Yeah, all that expression and he hadn't even seen the gift. Uh, huh.
I knew this gift was a winner - and his real response was anything but flat.  Yep, that's real emotion from J. Guess it took Glenn to bring it out...
  Really, what more can you say about that picture?
Kraig loves cell phones and keys. First thing he does anytime J comes home is ask for his cell phone. Braden decided to give Kraig his own phone for Christmas and it was big hit.
 In this next picture he's calling very loudly, "Paaapaaa! Paaapaa! PAPA!"
   I hope you all had a good Christmas!
