Conga line, charades, and family

Here are more pictures from after Christmas.
The kids went all over the house with the Conga line.

We played charades, which was fun. I had never played it before. The kids were good at it.

We all had a terrific time being together during the holidays.

Ben decided to put the clothespins on his ears, instead of on the back of my shirt. I took the picture fast, since they pinched his ears.

Henry-Fulton get-together for Christmas

Our Christmas
Tree.

Six of the grandkids.

Nichole and Abbey got 19 CD's of "The Narnia Chronicles". I am sure they will enjoy them.

Fred's new school jacket with his academic award and football letter on it. Fulton is written on back. I think he likes it.

Pogo stick.

He will be bouncing around.




A Wii game.

Ben will enjoy his game.

Charlie likes his new ratchet set.

I was excited about getting an MP3 player.

Paula got a Dirt Devil. She looks so different with straight hair. I am so used to curls and waves.

The boys all seem to be glad to even get clothes.

This is a turbo seat where they can plug in their games and their music.

Slippers are always nice.







We all had a great time getting together, opening presents, talking, eating, and playing charades. With only using Christmas songs, movies, plays, or things, the kids started guessing once they found out how many words were in the charade. It was the first time I had ever played charades.

The house was very quiet after everyone left around 1 p.m. They all wanted to get home to their Christmas tree and presents, and to celebrate in 2010. Charlie and I did stay up to ring in the New Year with Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's Eve. Clark has been hosting that program for 37 years. It is a tradition. Hope all have a terrific year. We will bring in the New Year having pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. DELICIOUS.

Dogs, Snow, and the Christmas Trains in Blackstone

Zeke is getting bigger. Misty is walking on the road in the snow.

Mary and Bill are looking at the trains. The owner of the store arranges the trains differently every year, and tons of kids go and see them.

The last blog I did, I wasn't able to write on it, but I don't know why. The pictures were from our RSD Christmas at Ginny's in Richmond.

We all had a great time and watched the "Parade of Lights" on the James River.

Next blog will be of the Christmas pictures. Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Clothspins, grandkids, TV, and Thanksgiving

Clothespins -- Ben and Gram usually try to see if they can place a clothespin on the other person without their knowing it. Fun and games.

See the clothespin on the hood of sweater.

Special people Group hugs and posings at Thanksgiving

Ben and Gram also had a sponge dart shooting spree.

Birthday present and television watching.

New dining room chairs for the Thanksgiving dinner. They arrived on time.

Getting ready to stuff ourselves with lots of good food.

We all had enough to eat on Thanksgiving Day.

It was all delicious and we all ate tooooo much.
