After lunch, we loaded the Suburban again and headed to northern AL. We drove up to JM's dad's house. He has been asking us about our Christmas plans for a while, and we were VERY slow to commit since we knew we would have just got back from our big trip to TX. We were very glad that we decided to go since we found out once we got there that EVERYONE was coming this year. That meant 24 people and 9 dogs (?) during the day and 2o people sleeping all over the house at night. It sounds chaotic, but it is so much FUN!
Lyndsey reconnected with our dog BAMA who lives at Granddad and Noni's house. Corynne loved the new puppies at their house. They are sisters--so I do not know if this was Tinker or Bell!
Yes, I think we will call this Christmas #6 (#5 was our family Christmas at home).
There were 10 cousins included in the above count. They are all so close in age that they have so much fun together. The boys are ages 10-12 the girls are ages 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 10.
The girls began choreographing their annual program almost immediately. We all received tickets and programs for the program to be held after the big meal on Saturday and before presents. It was very cute as always!
Then it was present time.
The little girls slipped away for a short time. JM found them back at the table "mixing drinks".
Then, it was time for games. Apples to Apples and $100, 000 pyramid
Before we left on Sunday morning, we celebrated Caroline's birthday. Noni threw together a fast little party for her special day today. Caroline's favorite gift... GUM!!!
A little more sugar for the road!
