Christmas and family :)

This year we really didn't know what was going to happen around Christmas...would we go to the kids? ...back down to North Carolina? ...stay 'put'? ...we just didn't know.
About 10 days before the Big Day, we decided that we would go up and spend some time with the kids.
James has a niece that lives not far from where the kids live, and she graciously let us stay in her home while they were away for a few days (thank again Jenn!). We had a great time! Here is the latest family photo...minus Ryan, he agreed to be the photographer...thanks, Ryan :)

The 'men'...

...and, as much as I miss the kids and other extended family members...it didn't take long until I had a Tim's in hand...ahhh...

It was a great time together with family and friends. We had great food, fellowship and a lot of laughs...it was just what this gal needed :)
