I was so excited when Christmas Day finally arrived!!! The build up to it just seems to last forever! This year, like the past few, we planned to go to Lynn and Tut's place at the lake in the afternoon. But, Amy and Corin had asked us to come over to their house that morning to see what Santa had brought the kids--and to see Corin's parents and his sister. They also were kind enough to ask us to eat "brunch" with them. We thoroughly enjoyed that--and enjoyed seeing Evan and Pressley, still in their jammies, playing with their toys Santa had brought! The theme of Pressley's Christmas was definitely "Princess"! Just about everything she got was "Princess". She got a princess make-up vanity, a princess cape, crown and microphone. She was one happy little girl! Evan, very much the "boy", received lots of Lego things.
Later in the day, we were all off to Lake Hartwell to spend the afternoon and evening with the whole family. It is always so much fun seeing my nieces and nephews that I don't get to see often. Also, we don't get to see Amanda, Matthew's daughter, very often since she moved to Florida with her mom. Below is my sister, Lynn, and her family(Left-right-Tut, Lindsay and Jeffery). Their house at the lake is so nice, and very open. It's perfect for a large group to be together.
Below is Sydney, my niece Melissa's daughter, and my very grown-up great-niece, Amanda.
Here's Amamda's dad, Matthew. Matthew is Debbie's son.
Debbie's daughter, Melissa, is in this photo with her husband, Jake, and their baby, Michael.
Granny still loves to take part in the cooking. Here she is showing Lindsay and Jeffery how to make her popular "Brown Rice" and gravy( no one can make gravy like Granny can).
Will and Evan love Christmas at the lake house! Will got his very own digital camera for Christmas, and had a great time taking pictures of everyone.
Pressley and Sydney both got a Magic Light Brush. They didn't get it from the same person, but were excited, never the less!
Here is the whole "fam-damnly", as my Grandmother used to say! What a great group! We are so blessed to still have our "matriarch"(Granny) still with us! She has had a rough year, having had a major surgery in April. But, she has come back to us fully, and for that , we are extremely grateful!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!
