CHRISTMAS--It's A Wrap!!

Well, we're still neck-deep in wrapping paper, toys, dirty dishes, etc. around here, but I wanted to show you a few pictures from my first Christmas with my family...Mommy and Daddy probably took a few hundred, but since uploading takes forever, I just picked a few...

Here we are Christmas morning coming down the stairs to the basement, lookin' for Santa's gifts (apparently he leaves them at different places every year to "throw us off")...I really didn't know WHAT to expect, but my brothers led the way...

Here is one of Santa's elves, who is really delirious from wrapping 'til 5am!...

Nannie and Papa Kemp came by to see what Santa brought...
Sissy, Goggin, Maggie Leigh and McKenna get in on all the fun...

Havin' Christmas morning breakfast AFTER the toys!...

Oh yeah, I'm lovin' me some breakfast casserole...

After opening all those gifts, I made a call to the fat guy at the North Pole to thank him...turns out that sittin' on his lap worked out pretty good for me afterall...

I'm givin' TyTy a little pre-dinner-nibble...

Later, here we are having our annual Christmas dinner of Prime Rib, twice-baked potatoes, asparagus, salad, rolls, and Strawberry cake...Sure beats Congee!...notice that all of us are STILL in our jammies...Tater says we girls sure do a lot of squealing!

Visiting with the Baskins the day after Christmas...Mr. Don is recovering from a double lung transplant he had at Vanderbilt on July 10th. Please pray for his complete recovery!

Mama gettin' in on a little after-Christmas shoppin'...

Playing after church today...We're watching Daddy grilling our lunch through the window...

My first BBQ Rib...finger-lickin'-good, little-lady-style!!Here we are saying bye to my cousins today (Tyler is in Arkansas, duck-hunting)...

Well, that's about it for now...I had a great first Christmas!

Love,
