Our family Christmas

Our annual picture on the steps before running down to see what Santa brought:

Allright! A ripstick!

Star Wars Legos for our lego crazed family!

Here they are after opening up little dog gifts and discovering they are getting a dog. Notice that Wes doesn't look too sure about this! They all went running to find where the dog was hiding except him--he ran up into his room and locked the door and climbed on his bunkbed!

Our ferocious dog, Murray.

The End.

Christmas with the Grogan's

So, I know this happened about a month ago, but it takes me about that long to post something--so on my timeline I suppose it's right on time!

Here are the grandkids with Gigi and Mi:

(notice uncooperative Owen in the upper right side)

Next, a pic with Meme and Dadoo:

and let's not forget the kid's table--

Wow, Meme sure can decorate a table!

Sweet Polly!

Aunt Heat and Uncle T - love this picture!

And here is my ONLY pic from when Uncle Adam and Aunt Kelle came into town because my camera died!

and it was another great Grogan Christmas!

The End.

So, I can't get this blogger to post the correct pictures by the words but I'm tired of fooling with it!

Christmas with the Fuquay's

Okay, this is such old news, but I had meant to post about this two weeks ago, before all of our drama. We had Christmas with all of my brothers and sister and their families here at our house this year. It was so relaxing and fun! And I loved having it here! All the kids (cousins) exchanged names and opened a gift. I loved the fact that they opened one present and also loved the fact that they were so happy just opening one gift! Another reminder of not overdoing and that less is truly more. All us girls exchanged ornaments via the Chinese Christmas exchange and all the guys did gag gifts. My brother Brian gets the prize for being the most creative:

My dad had sent a gift for all of us to open--pizza makers:

Here are all the girlies:

And here are all the kids--so many that we have to have two kid's tables!
