TRULY BLESSED

We're home again. How blessed we are! We had a wonderful time with our family.

Of course, Miss Daisy got to go too! She was a very good girl!

Yesterday morning, Eric and Angela had our family to their house for a Christmas brunch.

Here we are with 8 out of our 9 granchildren: Left to right: Kristin, Dalton, Karrigan in my lap wasn't too happy, Sydney Anne, Kaley Grace, Landon, Elizabeth and Carson. Zac, our oldest grandson, had to work :-(

Angela made a wonderful breakfast of eggs, bacon, biscuits, cheese grits and we also had donuts. So yummy!

Everyone gave us a new black and white family portrait...all 18 of us.

We decided on the spur of the moment to go to the restaurant where Zac was working just so we'd all be together. We ordered drinks and a few appetizers to hold us over until Mom's party later in the afternoon. He was surprised!

Then we all went to Mom's Christmas party for the entire family...remember I said it would be fun, but chaotic?! Well, it was.....

Here's just part of the crowd

More in the back

More to the side....and there was more in one of the bedrooms....people here, people there, people everywhere!
Zac was able to join us after he got off from work.

Eric's still my "little boy"... playing with Landon's new toy...shooting nerf darts at everyone until....

his MeMaw came to take it away.... LOL

What a wonderful day! The only thing that kept it from being absolutely perfect was that our youngest daughter, Bree, couldn't be there. She's a first year neo-natal intensive care nurse and she had to work. She was with us for Thanksgiving and was also able to go to New York with us, but it was hard not having her there yesterday. We are truly blessed though to be able to spend Christmas with so many in our family. Thank you Lord!

Merry Christmas!
Hugs!
