H & LG "reading" together

What a wonderful day of celebration. We woke up & opened gifts at home (we never got a tree this year, so Santa left the gifts in a chair along with his eaten cookies, milk & note he left for LG & MJ - we thought he may have left the gifts outside under our tree strung with lights, but, he decided to come on in).

We then headed to H & P's for some enjoyable "family" time & a delicious home-cooked lunch. For apps, Uncle Pi made stuffed mushrooms. Papa fried the turkey in the fryer outside, grilled tenderloin, made a delicious salad; Honey made squash casserole, green beans w. almonds, oyster dressing (yes, plain dressing for Chris, too), & I made hashbrown casserole. For dessert Honey made one of her famous homemade apple pies!

After MJ's 2nd nap at H & P's, we headed to Doc & Cha-Cha's around 6 pm for more celebration, good food & presents. C & D ate with the grandkids in the kitchen & let us eat in the dining room. We were having so much fun telling stories, we were lightly "scolded" for not using our "inside" voices...sorry :) ! The girls LOVED seeing their cousins.

Thanks for letting us help you celebrate your birthday, Jesus!

Hope - Happy new year and happy late anniversary. I can't believe that yall have been married for 13 years. I always admired you and Chris for choosing marriage over what the rest of us were doing in college!! What a great example for your girls one day. I love the pictures!

Hope, I just happened to come across your blog and thought I would stop and say hello. I'm in Georgia, too.

Your photographs and posts definitely show what a special family you have!

Happy Anniversary, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
