PAPA (envision Addie saying this loudly, she says it loudly every time) PAPA could not make it to Kansas City for Christmas. They were snowed in at home for the weekend. We were to have Christmas with PAPA and Aunt Carrie on Saturday. We decided since Aunt Carrie could make it from the other side of Raymore we would go ahead with Christmas. We had enough food for everyone and then some and then we moved right along to presents. Oh how the kids had the hang of the entire present thing by this time. 
Hunter and Lucas were both excited to pass out the presents.
Lucas loves to play Santa
Here are Taralyn and Lucas checking to make sure some of the presents have their name on them.
What a cutie opening his Home Depot truck.
Lucas not believing Aunt Carrie got him TAPOUT clothes. This is a new line of clothes at Kohl's and Lucas had his heart set on getting something TAPOUT for wrestling this. Well his dream came true and he just could not believe both Grandma Jan and Char and Aunt Carrie got him something.
Hunter got the evening best present. I learned months ago that Hunter loves to tie things up, tie things together, twist things with string, carry a string. Well what better present for such a little guy then a lasso. I found one and it seemed like a fun idea. I then learned a week ago he received a riding stuffed bull for Christmas. Hey, this lasso is going to be even better I said to myself. I had no idea the night ahead..........
He then quickly moved on to Uncle Jeremy who was laying on the floor.
It did not take long for Hunter to figure out to run it through the belt loop and then around his foot. Addie decided it was better to be on Hunter's side then her dad's. It was not looking too good for daddy.
Just like at the rodeo you have to tie up the feet.
That's right Uncle Jeremy, roll over so I can tie you all the way up.
It did not take long for the big kids to get in on the action. Luke got a rope burn in the process but recovered quickly.
I have to admit even I could not escape the lasso. Uncle Jeremy provided so extra help for this adventure but Hunter had no problem finishing me off.

Hunter announced two seconds after opening it and putting it on his shoulder that it was for his bull. He then talked his mom into undoing it into a long rope. Then it was on. He started off with running it through Addie's new baby bed

It is hard to think in a few short years that Hunter will be Lucas age and Addie will be the age Taralyn is now. Time seems to fly by faster and faster.
