North Carolina Christmas...Durham

We enjoyed Christmas in Durham with Jon's family while we were in North Carolina. All 17 of us were at Don and Scarlet's house for a few days. It was fun to see all of Jon's family and to be together for an early Christmas. We appreciate Don and Scarlet opening their home for us all to take it over! We all went to the last Durham Christmas Pageant on Saturday night. We went to church together at Ridgecrest on Sunday. We saw Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader and exchanged gifts on Monday. The kids also enjoyed time in the hot tub! On Tuesday, Nana and Papa treated the kids to some play time at Monkey Joe's. It was good to be with family! We also were blessed to see some of our dear friends from Gorman. We were able to see Larry and Janet Perry, Cindy, Tammy and Logan as well as Chelsie and Brittney. We were reminded of how much they mean to us and are thankful for quick visits with them.

This is not from this year...but 2008 on Christmas Day at Jeremy and Liz's house. I happened to get another picture this year with our five kids on the couch again...check out how much they have all grown. Next year we will have to add two more...our little boys are soon to arrive!
