reeves

For the last 16 years or so we have celebrated Christmas at D'Daddy and MeMama's on the 23rd (there may have been an exception a few times)...I just go ahead and write it on my calendar when planning out the holidays. AND we always get a group shot of all the "kids" (sorry Emily and Riley Ann) together before the gift opening festivities begin. This is the only one where you could see enough of Caroline to even know she was over there - she was being so cooperative that night:) It is just fun to look back at this picture over the years to see how much they have all grown and all the additions each year.
While the adults finished their supper, the girls planned a program for all of us all on their own that included pretty much every Christmas carol I know...it was really good and will hopefully be a new tradition:)

And then came the reading of the Christmas story...t was Sabrina's turn this year.

Then came present time...

What the men/adults do why everyone else opens.

Sleepy Jack sporting his new Camp Mac t-shirt.And Aunt Jill sporting her Christmas present and doing what she did ALL night...rolling up ribbon:)

And just a few other random shots...

Aunt Kathy and Uncle Alan give the kids a new ornament every year and this is the one Caroline got. It is a butterfly that clips to her tree. Caroline had actually been admiring this same one a few days earlier in Ansley Place...and thought it would make a pretty hair clip too:)

That presents looks like lots of fun!!

And we can always count on Uncle Chad to entertain the kids. He must have been resting up here for the hula hoop showdown he participated in later that night...and Sabrina we are still waiting for the video evidence of what he can do!!
