Christmas Day, 2007

Christmas Day was at my house. I always cook for the family. That was real fun after working all night. But I thoroughly enjoyed it! Counting the kids, I fed 12 people that day. I love cooking for alot of people. But I cheated this year. I bought the honey baked ham. I sure wish Bambi and Jeff had come and brought the kids. But she doesn't like to take them out and away from their toys on Christmas Day and I don't really blame her. When she was little we always went to Doug's grandmother's to eat, and the kids had to leave all their stuff to go eat. So it's really better I guess.
Hannah is getting tired of the exersaucer. She mostly just stands in it now:

Shelly loves margarine. She asked for her roll to be buttered, then licked it off:

So many people have passed away this year. Mary Nell died on Thursday. I am so thankful that my mom is still able to be with us this year:

My beautiful daughter in law, Rose. She is always so pleasant to be around:

My mother in law, Elizabeth. She treats me as good as she does her own daughter:

My son, Doug, relaxing in the recliner:

Rose relaxing with Hannah:

Rose relaxing without Hannah:

My mother in law and my mom knew each other before I ever met Doug. They enjoy talking:

Young Doug was "helping" Old Doug with the GPS he got for Christmas. (It still isn't in the car yet):

Hannah walks all over the place as long as she has something to hold on to:

My sister, Gerry, her daughter, Kelli, and Kelli's dad, Paul, came up also:

Evidently Gerry thought the food looked good from the smile on her face:

Paul wasn't bashful. He helped himself to everything. I'm glad he did. That's how I want people to be at my house:

And finally, Gerry, Paul, and Kelli's pride and joy. Justin, Kelly's son. (If I had those eyelashes and he had a feather up his butt, we'd both be tickled):

Where was Billy in all this? Mostly on the computer, but also relaxing with PaPaw:
