Christmas Time!

Christmas was great this year!  For the first time since starting our family, we decided to stay home so that Santa can visit Riley at home.  Of course, we missed spending it with the rest of the family, but we had a great time hanging with each other.  Also, this was the first White Christmas in the ATL area in many decades, so that was awesome!  It snowed ALL DAY long!  Sipping on some hot Irish Coffees helped to keep us warm! lol

Here is Riley and Mommy making the dough for Santa's cookies.







Opening gifts on Christmas morning was great!  Riley did a great job of handing gifts to everyone... of course this was done between jumping on her new toy! 







After opening presents, we went outside to play in the snow...

Camera Down

Just wanted to let everyone know that we haven't updated the site lately b/c Miss Riley dropped the camera from the table.  I know that it is my fault for putting the camera on the table to begin with, but in my defense we were packing up to travel and I always place items on the table during packing... oh well, it is being repaired now.  That is a $170 lesson that I shall not repeat. 

In the meantime, everyone is doing well aside from Christopher.  He dislocated his shoulder during a wrestling match this past weekend.  He had to wait for over an hour until he could get to the ER and have a doc put in back in place.  Pain level appeared to be very high. 

Here are the matches.  In the first match, he does a pretty good job of handling a game opponent (who went on to place 3rd in the 12 team tournament the next day) and Chris goes on to win the match 18-11.

In this match, Chris injures his shoulder around the 2:10 mark.  You can see him taking down his opponent and both guys landing on this left shoulder.  This is where the damage was done.  Chris goes on to win this match by a score of 20-10.

In this third video you can see just after Chris does a takedown he does a random posting of his left arm (for leverage) during this post his shoulder dislocates.  Chris was winning 2-0 before the injury occurred.
