This year was our kids' turn to celebrate Christmas with us over New Years.
Mom had gone to Kaye's for the Christmas holiday, so Christmas Eve after church, Jeff and I headed to Branson to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and Christmas. It was a very laid back, quiet and enjoyable 4 days in Branson as Jeff had been diagnosed with Shingles the week prior.
On my 64th birthday, December 29th, we met the kids and Mom in Bella Vista, AR to celebrate Christmas together.
First a few miscellaneous pictures....
I used this picture from Thanksgiving as my Christmas Facebook profile pic
For memory sake......Laine, Ellie and Shep with Santa
And Copeland, Eisley and Gideon with Santa
Pictures of the kids on Christmas at each of their own homes:
On the 29th--this was the best birthday present......all 7 of my grandchildren together!
(And Rachel fixed a delicious roast meal for me!)
Cousins were happy to see each other!
Love my girl 💖
Gideon got lots of holding 💙
Due to Avi going to spend some time with her Dad and also Michelle, Josh and Avi spending time with Michelle's Mom later in the weekend, we had our Christmas that first night together.
My pictures were just quick shots with my phone.....
Gathering around great Grandma 😍
Rachel and Jonathan made this gift for Mom with the names of all 20 of her great grands!
And they made one for Jeff and I that we absolutely love! Anxious to add two more slats to it this year!
With our pride and joy!

New Years Day, we spent with my sister Kaye and Rob and Matt and Adrienne's families playing games, eating, watching football, etc. These two little guys had fun together!
Wish I would have done a better job of getting pictures, but these will have to do.
Thanks to all for making another Christmas a wonderful one!
Praying 2018 will be a great year for all!!
