Grammy's Christmas....

This past weekend Paul and I went to Oklahoma for an overnight visit to celebrate Christmas with his mom's side of the family. Grammy and Daddy Sonny always celebrate the Saturday after Christmas so that no one has to be rushing off to make another event. We arrived Saturday around lunch and spent the afternoon visiting and catching up.

Later that evening we all went over to the local "dance hall" to do some boot scootin'. Grammy and Daddy Sonny usually attend dances 3-4 times per week. Whenever we are with them we always look forward to going. I have to say it is great exercise. It is a family atmosphere with no smoking, no alcohol, a live band, and even a concession stand with popcorn and nachos. The best bargain is that you can buy a bottomless pitcher of ice water for your table for only $1. Try to beat that anywhere else!!

Sunday morning we all got up and accompanied Grammy and Daddy Sonny to church and then came back to their house for lunch and to watch the Cowboy game. One of Paul's aunts had jewelry making supplies and I made a beautiful bracelet with Avery's name on it. I will try to take a picture and post it later on.

Now for the pics from Grammy's Christmas celebration:

Daddy Sonny relaxing while his house was being overtaken by all of us.

Boys will be boys:Three grown men had the time of their life shooting at each other with these foam disk guns.
Todd, Uncle Larry, and Paul get ready for battle.

I told you it was a bargain:
Larry shows off our "bottomless" pitcher and we even got free cups!!

Everyone did a little dancing tonight:
Todd dancing with Grammy with Larry and Kay in the background.

We closed the place down (it was only 10pm)!! Our group at Pacesetters.

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again!!

I've been waiting, and they are great pics. We really enjoyed spending New Years with you...I know you grew restless during the marathon Crainium, but those were good times! Now pardon me while I help myself to your photos.
