Christmas 2010

Well Christmas 2010 was all about family this year. It was the first time in many many many years that all of Dacy’s sisters and their families would be together for Christmas. As typical Christmas’ go, we ate and then ate some more and then still ate some more.

Here are all of the kids eating the typical Christmas eve dinner of tamales and posole.

After dinner the family reads the Christmas story from a huge picture book which was colored by Dacy and her sister's when they were young kids

As with most families the kids are allowed to open one present before going to bed
which is always pajamas.

Lucky for us, the kids still like to sleep, so Christmas morning did not
start until about 7:30am which is a typical morning.

As I said before we seem to eat a lot during the Christmas holiday with family.
After all of the presents had been opened and us dads were trying to free
the toys from their boxes, breakfast was made.

What a great time is was to spend the holidays with family,
which always includes a family picture.

Here is memaw and papa with all six of the grandkids

And the final picture is of Dacy and her sisters. The reason for the pose is the
fact that Dacy's mom has a picture of her Aunts standing like that and she loves it.
So what mother wants mother gets!
