Christmas Day

Christmas morning was very exciting for us all. Anne Parks, Nora, and Smith must have been very good this year, because Santa brought them all kinds of goodies!

Anne Parks got everything on her list: a sparkly guitar, a Cinderella carriage, and little tiny dishes, plus lots more.

Nora got a lot of Weebles (They wobble, but they don't fall down.) and their cottage and downtown.

Smith got a lot of things, but the favorite, by far, was the monster tent.

After a while, my mom's side of the family joined us for brunch.

After brunch, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus.

Ganne and her "grands" (Wish Alli could have been there!)

Later, we made the short drive to Carthage to my have dinner with my dad's side of the family.

Anne Parks helped pass out the gifts.

Hannah and Gary (cousin and hubby) gave Mimi and PawPaw matching MSU Snuggies - a huge hit!

A "shoot-out" with my cousin, Jon Michael.

That night after we got back to the cabin, Anne Parks, running on adrenaline, broke in her new sparkly guitar by giving us one rockin' concert.

What a day!

We can't wait until next year!
