Yes, a little boy's dream come true....sorry to say, they weren't all his. On Christmas Eve, all of Den's family gets together and we open presents together. That's 5 families---22 family members + significant others that are starting to join the family :o) But, a little boy can still dream can't he?????
All the "kids" in Den's family with Santa--of course the night doesn't begin until after communion at church, and then Santa always arrives to deliver the first gifts. A tradition that has been going on for years...way before I even entered the family 15 years ago!
The girls with Den's mom and dad, aka--memaw and papa.
My mom and dad, aka Grandma Beep-Beep and Granpa Bruce, at my grandmothers house for Christmas dinner.
Jeff (my brother) and Jeanna and their kids--Jeffrey, Joseph, Joshua, Hannah, Sarah, and Jeremiah.
My uncle Roger and Rhonda with their children. Since I typed out Jeff's kids names, guess I need to do it here as well--so here goes my memory test!!----Zachary, Rebecca, Anna, Emily, Luke, Isaac, Samuel, ...o.k., I've already asked for help on two names here at home, now I need to make a call out to Dad for the rest.....hold on.....Olivia and the newest addition Cora Abigail, born on Nov 11, 2008. Thanks Dad!!! By the way, I completely failed the memory test. :o)
And here we are, Den and I with Wil, Jacque and Ben. It's so much easier coming up with 3 names ! :o)
O.k.--so did you count--18, yes that is 18 children between Jeff, Roger and I. Grandma has 11 grandchildren (Roger's children plus me and Jeff) and 9 great grandchildren. What a house full, but what fun we have!!!!
