December memories...


 MAY FAMILY CHRISTMAS
Grandkids, all grown up, some with families (great grandkids), jobs, upcoming marriages. Lots going on with these precious grandkids.

Great grandkids mixed with grandkids. Few are missing. Hoping to have everyone together next year. 

Dirty Girl Mud Run
Jenny and Jessica. Congrats girls. Proud of you.

CA Two of the 5 Arnold's arrived a few days ahead of the rest of them.
Stacy and Eli welcome to Texas!!

Girls and Boo came saturday and guess who was in town to see them? 
Santa himself. 

Christmas Dinner with adults and

grandkids.

Mattie Sue sang at the school program. What an angle voice she has.


 Birthday Party for Samantha Pierce. :)

Cold morning means a snuggie for Maddie.

Eli - marchmellow - walking stick = FUN and beginning of smores.

Feeding the baby goats at Auntie Jenny's home.

The baby goats loved the kids as much as they loved the goats.

Auntie Jenny taking us on a tour of the farm..

Mattie Sue and Malyn got to stay over night with Auntie Jenny after a fun day at the farm. They continued the fun with Pizza for dinner and a movie and some girl fun and talking.


Tootles got a fun dance game that Mattie Sue rock out to. ;)

Jenny's painting for the Christmas season. 

Eli and Poppy went to Bass Pro Shop and had a blast.

This is Alex and Ben. They will be married in April. :) Welcome to the family Ben. Loved meeting you over the holidays. Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Poppy and I took Eli to ride the train. He has been saying, "Alllll a booooard"

Poppy and Eli played ball in the back yard which is a new thing for the CA boy. No back yards in CA but they sure have great parks. Eli flat out knows how to kick a ball and throw it. 

Jenny praying over the Loft gathering table. Jenny talked at church one sunday about the Loft and how is has touched so many people over the  years it has been opened. 

A precious picture of the grandchildren praying before dinner at Auntie Jessica's house. 
See them holding hands? So sweet. 

Christmas Eve. Mattie Sue singing Silent Night. :)

Kids spreading the reindeer food out to help them find the way to our house.

Ryan got two twin beds. Seems like Sammy moved right in the first night. Sweet Ryan of course welcomed him in. We haven't finished decorating the room but getting the beds up and the corner piece that Poppy made was enough for one night.

Nama Dotty got some snuggles from Eli on Christmas Day.

There were so many pictures and I've missed so many and will probably add more later or move things around. Just wanted to post some of these while I can.
