Christmas Time is Here!!

It is Christmas time again!! The lights on the house are up and...the Raider Christmas tree is back in full effect!! I seem to like using "!!", but thats okay 'cause its Christmas time!! Last couple years there were only a couple of Raider ornaments. We had trouble finding Black ornaments. We found lots of options for Silver ones, but very difficult to find black. We added 3 more Raider ornaments and this year, we also found plenty of Silver and Black ornaments and Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart. The Raider Nation is taking over.

This year is the best our tree has looked. Making its usual appearance is the Raider Express. Last year it looped around the tree and split off to also go and a huge loop around my drum set. The drum set is now in the game room where it belongs so the train is now limited to the perimeter of the tree. So far this year neither dog nor cat has yet to destroy an ornament...we're pretty optimistic about making it through the season without any casualties.

Already got the best Christmas card we'll get this year. Came from our friends Emma and Paul. Paul is one of those guys you don't like cause of his incredibly mad drawing skills, but then he goes and draws something like this and TOTALLY REDEEMS himself!! He drew this on the inside of the Christmas card they sent.
