Christmas at the Rouse's

It was Reese's first Christmas and she had a blast. Toys, treats, food, food and more food.

She was a blast to watch all day, a pure ball of energy, playing with toy after toy, messing with Maggie (the resident Rouse dog), running laps in the muddy backyard resulting in a towel bath from her Mama and Grandma -- too funny!!
Big Daddy Rouse and I seem to take this same picture every Christmas at the Rouse's.

Christmas was different this year -- we woke up at 10:00am, it was crazy!!

I missed everyone immensely but I had a good day nonetheless.

Ate some improvised Shrimp & Grits for breakfast.

Spent the morning opening some presents -- a vest jacket, some cool socks, wine, jewelry

and some much needed spending money for my upcoming visit to Wisconsin.

And of course, we watched A Christmas Story - Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra.
