They're family . . .

We had our annual Pickler/Thomas Christmas again this year (for maybe the 20th year??) Here are three tired babies at the end of the night. Don't they look confused? ha! Luke - 21 months, Carolina - 19 months, and Jonah - 22 months.

At the little kid's table - they all mostly ate apples!

Lawton didn't seem to mind them all. . .

Here are all of us "kids" with our kids. . .

Buddy, Sissy, Mom and Dad - best friends :)

After dinner and some Dirty Santa, we watched some surprise old videos from my freshman year or so (which was pointed out that it was almost 19 years ago . . . gasp!!! How could that be??)
We laughed until we cried and my jaws were aching. Oh, the styles, the accents, the personalities and gestures that don't change. How fun! The best part, though was when my sister was at gymnastics class with Amy and flew off the bars and landed flat on her back. The teacher doubled over and laughed at her!! (and she was mad as a hornet when she got up!) Good times with old friends . . .
