We had a fantastic Christmas with celebrations at the Alford home and at the Lewis home with the Bridger side of the family!
Christmas Eve was spent with the Alford family! It is always wonderful to have all 13 of us together and just enjoy the moment and magic of the kids opening their presents! One thing that is so special with the Alford family is that there is always one family member that Memaw chooses to go on the Scavenger Hunt for a special gift. This year it was Isa! He had been mentioning since Thanksgiving that he hadn't been chosen in years and how badly he wanted it! Memaw made the clues very hard for him! So hard that Brooklyn had to help him with some of the clues and lead him in the right direction...lol! Since he is a licensed driver now, he got floor mats for his car! He was pretty excited! It is so nice catering dinner so that we don't have to worry about cooking or any heavy clean up....we just sit back and enjoy each other! I am so blessed with WONDERFUL in-laws....my mother and father in-law are truly the best and my sis and bro in-laws truly love our kids as they are their own!
It is always great to have all of our family from Memphis and Jackson in town to celebrate with us! It makes for late nights playing games, great food, great drinks, great gifts, and a new tradition...great craft time! We love having Malorie, Neil and Madison stay at our house...the kids love giving up their beds (I know that soon will end)! We love having time to just enjoy relaxing, listening to Neil talk about the Giants, Uncle Frank talk about the Grizzlies, and us talk about our Texans! I decided that we needed to take a craft idea off of pinterest and make a craft and that is just what we did on the 23rd! We made ornament wreaths and they turned out quite nice!!!
