Christmas in Mississippi

Family is the best part of Christmas....

We almost had to cancel our Christmas gathering with my side of the family this year, due to the snow.  Luckily, it melted just enough for most of us to be able to go.  Lindsey and Josh were snowed in with almost 8 inches, so they didn't make it.  Our Christmas gatherings have changed so much over the years.  We always gathered at my grandparents in the big town of Coatopa. We opened gifts for hours.  Grandmommie made us open gifts one at a time, beginning with the youngest and ending with the oldest.  Even though times have changed, it's just as special now.  My grandparents helped instill bonds that can't be broken due to time or distance. Phillip and Bethany opened up their beautiful home for us this year!  I am truly grateful for each one of this crazy group!!

Daddy's girl!  Or at least on of them!




Lots of memories with this one!  




Uncle Michael and Aunt Doris-although I've never called them that!  



Still practicing!



The twins-youngest of five!  My grandmother was a saint!  Four boys and one girl!



Such a special fun day!
