Family Christmas on New Year's Day

Ross was able to come home for three days and so the other four available siblings with their families came to celebrate the homecoming, Christmas and being together.  We missed Jay and Kerry who live in Georgia.
Joel loves his Uncle Ross.


The wonder of technology!  Christmas morning in Georgia with Elissa, Natalie, and Libby with their new Grandma pj's.  I love doing this each year.  And they let me, so I am happy. 

While this isn't the best posed shot, it is typical of constant activity with Ben and JoLin's family.

This was the Grandma nitie for Grace.  You can't tell but the green in the design are frogs.  Grace was such a little mother to the little kids. 
Shannon and David's family of three, slept in the upstairs bedroom which has 2 twin beds.  Yes, someone slept on the mat on the floor. 

Phil and Joleen were at the house everyday, most of the day.  We ate all of Joleen's cookies and other good food!

 Kemp and Sonja came on Saturday, a very frosty winter day.  These two along with some of the others walked down to the pond.  It was iced over well and wasn't breaking to heavy thrown rocks.  So Ben walked on the ice and yes, he fell in.

Sailor got an amazing new comb/brush for Christmas and since it removes ALL loosened hair, it is easier to have her in the house during this frigid spell.  She wanted to help clean up after the feasting was over.  She cried and was so depressed when Ross left.
