Friday night, I made my Pea Salad and Mac-n-Cheese for the Ryan Christmas.
Saturday we woke up and went to Luke’s Basketball game. It was super fun! Ben was not feeling well so about half way through the game his mom pulled him and took him home. Luke and Osha got lots of play time/practice. They were hilariously good. Lots of wonderful mishaps. Luke takes a while to dribble down the court so he usually throws the ball in and Osha or Ben take it down court. Well the Coach wanted Luke to get some practice taking the ball down the court and Osha is lightening fast so she would be right up on Luke incase he needed to throw the ball to her. Luke would do great getting it to half court. Coach taught him to dribble to half court frontwards and then when he gets half court turn around and dribble backwards. It is so funny to watch Luke. He will see the white line and will turn around and start dribbling backwards. It is like he is in SLOW MOTION, but he takes his time and if he gets in trouble will pass the ball to his team mates, but this time he made it down to try for 4 shots and made 1. As I mentioned Baseball is my sport of choice for Luke and Ashlyn however Basketball is growing on me.
After the game we headed to the Women’s Club and had the Ryan Christmas. It was so very nice to see everyone and after a wonderful meal, and story time with MeMaw everyone told what they wanted for Christmas even the adult. Santa made a surprise visit, complete with presents for all the kids. Mattie really tripped me out, she was just aw struck and amazed that Santa had a gift for everyone and knew each other’s name. Santa read the kids a book and Gavin was just precious. He had Twas the Night before Christmas at his house and he wanted to point out every picture for Santa, and a few times said that is Me! Bryce was so happy to see Santa! Ashlyn did not want to see Santa but when he pulled a gift out for her, she was happy to walk up and get it. It was so great to see the excitement on the kids face! They were very surprised!!! Such a wonderful time MeMaw and PawPaw!
After the Ryan Christmas party we traveled to Marion. Arrived in Marion at 5:00 PM and had supper at the Hess home with Granddaddy Brown. We played and laughed, ate and baked cookies then laughed some more. Our cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Mom came and picked all four grandbabies up so the Adults could laugh and talk some more. She put them all to bed for us. Such a good Grammy. We got to moms a little after 1 AM to sleep.
The kids woke up bright and early! None of the adults were ready, but oh the kids were so ready. They kept asking if they could open presents. We had grits and hot coco and made present piles to help keep them busy until everyone arrived a little after 9. The presents were opened quickly and we had a nice breakfast cooked by the men! We headed home around lunch time Sunday, and our entire family took a 3 hour nap.
Pat took Luke to spend the night with Papa Boozer and Dang’s since school is closed for the next two weeks. I think we are all very tired but very happy. It was a magical and fun time with family this week-end!! I will be posting pictures. I am going to try to condense them. I only took 147 pictures this week-end!!
