Celebrate Good Times. . .

. . . COME ON!


That is exactly what we did over the Christmas holidays. At our first celebration, we enjoyed family time at The Bluff - this is how we all affectionately refer to my parents' house at Lake Whitney - with the Lees (my sister's family) and my parents. This is the first time we have all gotten together at the same time over the holidays since Vaughn was born almost 3 years ago!



There was Christmas Bingo - Thanks Molly! M&M's were used for the markers, and Vaughn ate more than his fair share!

There was outside time since the weather was beautiful!


There were HOMEMADE rolls! Thanks to Pioneer Woman's EASY and delicious recipe!! As well as lots of other yummy food, including ham, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese (Paula Dean's recipe - YUM) and homemade Italian Cream Cake to celebrate Jesus' birthday! The cake was delish Molly!

Of course, no Christmas celebration would be complete without Santa. . .(Hitee)

. . . and Mrs. Claus (Grinny)!

And apparently we were all VERY good this year, as the pictures below will show!

Here is Jason with his retro Stanley Thermos.

Just what I needed! A couple new accessories that I LOVE!

Molly, I know this isn't the BEST picture of you, but I had to show the world your fabulous fashion sense! Love the boots!!

This guy (Brandon) is ALWAYS happy, and all he wanted for Christmas was COFFEE - as you can see, he is nursing a cup behind him!!

Chef Louisa. . . ready to get cookin'!

Susannah with her new winter gear! TOASTY!

Vaughn is opening one of the biggest hits of the season - his LEGO train set! He and Daddy both loved this gift!




And once again. . . The Cousins!

What a great way to spend a weekend! Great food, wonderful family, and lots of goodies!
