A Little More Christmas

We spent the Christmas holiday in Charlotte, NC at my parents' house with all of my brothers and sisters and their families. My Grandma Tolley and Uncle David came too. It was another great chance for Rose and John to see family that they don't get to visit with very often. They also got another chance to visit Santa, although that didn't work out very well for Rose this time either. She wouldn't get close enough for us to get all of the cousins in the picture. You can se Madyn and Moziah, but poor Toby is just out of view.
We had a great time and did all kinds of fun things, including family portraits, a white elephant gift exchange, lots of fun shopping, a trip to the raptor center (are you really surprised?), and tons of good food both homemade and at restaurants. We even recorded a family CD, and I recorded a Christmas CD as well. John was a little too young to perform, but Rose sang a couple of songs. Let us know if you want us to send you a track or two. Or maybe I can figure out how to post them online. Rose loves to listen to both CDs while she is going to bed. It was a great way to save some special memories.
