Random Christmas 2008

In the middle of all the chaos of moving... we were able to sqeeze in a little Christmas!!

This is on our Christmas Card that everyone should expect in their mailboxes mid to late January... our new fireplace


Here the girls are getting ready for Santa... he came a few days early to our house, we guessed it was because of the new address.


Santa brought all kinds of goodies including a wii and wii fit!


We got to spend some time with the cousins.


Here is everyone in their new jammies... thanks Nana!

The Griswold Reese Family Christmas

The whole clan got together in North Carolina... we enjoyed some food and fellowship and celebrated Avery and Joyce's 40th wedding anniversary!


The Youngin's... these are all of the great-grandkids... well, not all... not even close, but a good looking bunch!



Getting Older (some of YOU are older than others)... 15 of the 19 grandkids


Really Old... haha... the brothers with their lovely wives (sadly, missing a couple of folks in this one)

And, the original... Mrs. Sallie.
Grandma was feeling the Christmas spirit, she was as happy as Dad has seen her in a long time!!


The oldest and the youngest of the brothers... acting their ages (at least Dad kept his teeth in)!

Some interesting things overheard at the Reese family get-together:
"That's OK Joyce, at least you know you have a pair at home just like them." Uncle Gerald
"This family likes them even if they are black." Sheila ***this is a reference to food so nobody gets in trouble
"How is this a family reunion if I don't know anybody here?" Alex (Kelly's son)
"That's OK, Chris sleeps with his eyes open." Paige
"Ya'll want to see something nobody has seen in 40 years." Uncle Avery

Now That's My Kind of Building a House...

Thanks to Nana... a little Christmas crafting has been going on! These will be beautiful on our new mantle.
