Ah the tradional Christmas party at Granny T's the weekend before Christmas. Its always a big hit and we have a great time. We start the festivities around 3pm and go until we can't stand it anymore. Of course the girls always sleep over, so they get up the next day and keep going!
All the children gathered around to hear the Christmas story.
All listening so intently.
Gift time. Tyler and Victoria opening their gifts.

And the best part of the evening........ SPOONS!!!! Here below is the award ceremony. Last years winner must hand over the spoon trophy to the new winner.
Last year's winner: Me!
And this year's winner.......DRUM ROLL PLEASE....
ME!!!!!!
The little ones had their own spoon game this year too. The first annual Children's spoon winner......
Little Bit!!!!
After we all settled in a little with full bellies, opened gifts and spoon trophies, the girls put on a show.
First up Miss Priss and Little Bit performed together.
Miss Priss played "Jolly Ole Saint Nick" while Litte Bit sang.
Oh my word HOW CUTE it was!!!!
Then Miss Priss played her recital piece (which we missed to go see Bobby Horton's Christmas show....click here to see how big of a deal that is!) and a handful of Christmas Carols for us all to sing along wtih.
Next year she will hopefully be entertaining us with a new instrument!!! Tune in later to find out which one it is!!!
Of course we all had a great time as usual and look forward to it again next year!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year because it's the only time I can manage to get most of my family all together at the same time. It's always a joyous occasion as we fellowship with one another through the sharing of a meal, exchanging gifts, playing games, etc. It's a time of pure joy & laughter!
