MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

Well, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I know we sure did. I feel like we have just ran and ran the last few days. On Christmas Eve we went to Wills Point and had Christmas lunch at Chad's grandfather's. The fun included us, mam-maw and papa, Chad's mom, his brother Joey and family, and his two sisters and family. That evening we had Christmas with my parents and my brother Monty and his gang. We let the kids open presents first and then we ate an enormous traditional Christmas dinner. It was an awesome day. Of course, we did have to hurry home to prepare for SANTA to come.

Christmas morning we got up and had our family tree together. It was amazing watching Denim she was so excited this year. SANTA brought her a babydoll, Dalton a mini-frig for his room (SWEET), and Caitlyn a new purse and wallet (a more grownup one). After that we had breakfast and Christmas with Sheryl and Peeper (sorry Chad told me to) and Joey and Christi. Then off to Granny's in Mesquite with the whole gang (Chad's aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). That evening was Christmas with my Mom's family at her house. This was also a large gathering. There are a bunch of us; however, there were a few that had to miss out because of illness and we sure did miss them. After all of this, would you believe that there is still one side of the family we haven't even seen. We hope to catch a couple of them this weekend.

So, you can imagine that we are really resting this weekend. Actually, yesterday I spent the whole day finding places to put all the new gifts and my house still needs to be cleaned. I'll get to that sometime. Well I have already babbled on enough. Check out the new pics.

We wanted to tell everyone that "WE LOVE YOU ALL. WE WISH YOU A BLESSED AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!"

CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY!

We had the first of many Family Christmas gatherings last night. It was with my dad's brother and sister and their children and grandchildren. We had a real nice time; however it seemed not to last as long as they used to. I guess that is because everyone had to leave so early due to work the next day.

Denim also had her 1st school party today. Caitlyn and I went with her. They were all so cute and everything is such a big deal!!! Denim had alot of fun. She loves having her Aunt Brittney there as her teacher, but I think she is starting to think she is special.

I HAVE POSTED PICTURES FROM BOTH PARTIES.

Also, The girls are singing Sunday at church. I would like to invite everyone. Service starts at 10:30. Hope to see you there!!!

COLD, ICY DAYS

What a great day! It's cold outside and ice is on the ground. That is just right for Christmas time. I love it! School was cancelled for the kids all day and I didn't have to go in until 10:00. That makes for a good day. Denim still went to her school, but Dalton ran around with Chad and Caitlyn went to school with me. She really got a kick out of that. The boys in my class kind of took a liking to her. We don't have very many Pretty little blonde headed girls in my school. So I had to kind of monitor the situation closely.

I posted some more pictures of basketball games and Denim's new Christmas dress. Well she thinks it's new. Actually, my aunt Colleen made it for me when I was that age and then Caitlyn also wore it when she was little. I need to find and post a picture of Caitlyn in it. That would be really cute. I don't know that there are any pictures of me though. I can check.

Dalton and Caitlyn are both playing basketball with the YMCA this year. They are having a great time. They have each played 2 games. Dalton's team won both and Caitlyn's won one and lost one. Right now we are playing week by week, but as soon as I get permanent game schedules I will post them. I know Caitlyn plays this Saturday (time unknown), but I think Dalton is going to the deer lease.

Love all of yall! Have a Great Week!!!!
