Home for Christmas

Friday I left work a little early to get on the road to WV. Mark only gets to have Christmas Day off so we have to wait until January to have our Christmas with family in WV. There is so much that goes on and so many stories to tell....I am sure that it would take volumes to tell about each pictures that I want to share. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words...so I'm sorry but here comes another slide show.

We first went to a basketball game...Fairland (my nephew's senior year...#55) and South Point (the coach and his wife are really good friends). Both were undefeated and it was a great game. Dustin Dunked the ball and got a T. Gary's team won by one point at the very end of the game. Saturday evening we celebrated Christmas with the Ellis side of the family. We ate until we were sick...all the favorites, ham Mamaw's potato salad, Lisa's green beans, stuff celery, sweet potatoes, baked beans, scalloped potatoes, blackberry cobbler, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. I full again just writing about it. After dinner comes entertainment and gifts. But there is one video you have to see, First I need to set it up for you. There is a very special box named "Old Faithful" that has been in the Ellis family since Mark and Terry were little boys. Each year Mamaw chooses a special participant. Their name is logged on the back...well, let's let Emmy and Mamaw tell you the history...
