The Whole Clan.....
My Mom with all her Great-Grandkids
Britt/Des and the boys
All 7 cousins....
Brad, Cindy and new baby Ella
Brooke, Dave and the kids
Whew...there's a bunch of us...we also had extended family, there to eat and enjoy the weekend...it was a gorgeous day and we all had a great time.
Aunt Britt was letting the girls help with the marshmallows
And right behind Thanksgiving is Christmas and all those wonderful Santa pictures....
The Carter Boys were on their best behavior...they knew Santa needed to see them being good.
Dylan needed to talk to Santa, while his sisters were not too sure....
Miss Ella was new to the process and was taking it all in
And at the end of the visit...it got crazy.......but what's Christmas without a screaming kid picture!!
But...a little train ride is always good.
All the hype leads up to this one amazing day....
Love the new hat little girly
Britt had them all sitting in a row until it was their turn to open...
Quinton's turn...he got a Disney t-shirt and a book...
New hair bows...

My turn...my turn....
One happy little boy...
Look Mom...dino eggs!!
Love the Disney jackets...
Oh my...Disney Princess light up dresses.....
And plastic high heel shoes and fancy parasols....look out Mary Poppins

Ella woke up and got a turn, and the others went down for a nap....
Finally the big kids...Chad got some tools
Ashley got some coloring books....
Ella is learning to walk....and got some toys to help her.
And now the really big kids.....

Quinton loves cousin Ella...
Mom got her Daddy's recipe for brunswick stew in his handwriting on a dish towel....very cool

Another wild and crazy Christmas... was great for us all to be together.
Denny and I headed home a few days later and rang in the New Year at a party at our new community Beach Club...we had a great time.
We are starting the new year in a new condo, at a new church and making new friends...hoping to sell our house soon and feeling like this year will be a special one.
May 2017 be a good year for all!!
