Christmas Adam

I know, you are shaking your head and saying what?  But it started out as a Cassie and Trevor tradition but has leaked over to our house since we now stay home for Christmas.

Christmas Adam...December 23...Cassie started this tradition when Ellis and Alaire were really little.  They get to sleep under the Christmas tree on December 23.  They usually watch a movie.  They still at 14 and 12 want to continue the tradition.  We also read The Best Christmas Pagent Ever for the first time this year.

All of us, 15 of us, plus two puppies and a dog!  This craziness is our family.  Thanks, Mr. Bill for taking the shot.  It is a treasure for sure.

We had a snacky dinner and then it was time to open gifts because Bryce and his family left the next morning for FL with Tini's family for their annual Christmas trip.

Bryce, Tini, Sam and, Mia

I wish I had gotten a better pic of these two but Isaiah was having none of it.  He was upset because he could not take one of the puppies home with him.

All our kids, all 6 of them!

Sarah, Porche, Michael, Bryce, Emmy, and Cassie

They bring me both joy and tears. sometimes all in the same hour.  I wouldn't change it for the world.

All five GRANDkids.  They are the best thing on earth!

Mia and Alaire, Isaiah, and Sam and Ellis

They keep us young that's for sure.  I love it!

I didn't get a chance to take many pics...a little busy with looking, watching and paper patrol...and puppy duty.

Mia liked Emmy's fun gift.

These two are so funny together.

They are best buds.  We are planning a sleepover with them sometime soon.
