Christmas Eve

It is tradition for each family and the sets of grandchildren and great-grandchildren to get their pictures made in front of Mee Maw and Paw Paw's tree on Christmas Eve. We've done it for as long I can remember. Here are just a few of the combinations for this year.

Paw Paw Bob and Mee Maw Beth

With the grandchildren- K'Lynne, me and Casey

The growing Reid clan. Aunt Casey is expecting another sweet BOY in May!!

 

                           A rare family photo. (I treasure these!!) We haven't had one since July.

No matter how cooperative or uncooperative our subjects are, we shoot anyway and take what we get.

The grandchildren shot with Lolly and Poppy was a little on the uncooperative side, but cute (and typical) nonetheless.


After eating grilled streaks and potatoes, it was time to open presents again! And boy was it wild :)

                                                                         BUZZ!!

                                                                            DORA!!

Mee Maw and Paw Paw bought the great-grandchildren these little pianos with microphones. Collin, our future musician, stole the show and sang and sang.

After we played with our new toys and visited for a while, it was time to hurry home to prepare for long-awaited Santa. We set out his cookies and milk and put out some carrots for the reindeer.

Can you say EXCITED??!!!

Collin and Brantlee were actually not too hard to get to sleep that night. Collin asked for a train table. Brantlee was hoping for a kitchen. Did Santa pull through??
