I love family parties. Looks like you had a good time. I made you red velvet cookies, yummy. then I dropped the plate and no one got to have any.... booo
I just have been catching up and I love all the pictures with the little comments in your last 5 or so posts - ha ha! Glad you are enjoying Christmas with your family!!
Family get togethers are my favorite thing!!! It is sad as my mom and dad never get anywhere either due to their age and health. They were not able to make it to Matt's funeral....so I took a copy of hte Funeral CD to them. It was wonderful to sit and listen to it with them.
We really wanted to be there!!! Had most the presents wrapped and ready to go. Alas ~~ the old bodies just went flop before we got that far.
All week I'd been hustlin' faster than an old gal should - took care of 4 month old Weston all week then saw him off to Idaho Thursday night with his folks. Been feeding his doggies and rushing from store to store to get the Christmas blahs. The weather change has wroght havoc on my arthritis - didn't know there were so many joints andmuscles to feel the weather changes.
Papa left for Orlando before dawn Saturday and arrived back home at mid-night. After the Temple closed he went to the Temple Presidency Christmas Devotional and was so uplifted. He was up before dawn Sunday getting ready for church and exec.mtgs. When he was putting his socks on he had to change into a larger pair and had to wear his old shoes because his feet & legs were so swollen. When he got to Sunday School and looked down at his feet and saw he had on light blue socks and his old shoes he hid his feet as far under the chair as he could - hoping no one would see them. He sang in the two-wards Choir. They presented the annual Christmas Cantata. Each year he says it will be his last, but when the practicing starts he's "Johnny on the spot."
When he got home he collapsed in the recliner with Missy & Peanut and went fast asleep.
The 2 1/2 hour drive up to the Crenshaw Christmas Party was just too far to go on swolllen legs and arthritis. We WERE there in spirit. Hope you felt it...

Sweet. Hope you have a great week.
It's going to be hectic all around I think.
Looks like a lot of fun. I am sorry your parents could not make the trip.
How sad that your parents were not able to go! It looks a bit like our party.
We ended up with 46 people!
Is that your house?
I LOVE the fireplace and the wall color.
Looks like that was a gaggle of people having a great time.
Hope you got it all done today!
HUGS!
