Return of the Jedi! Yes folks, I know you were all thinking Nita is a movie star out of the Jedi movie but NO, she is simply trying on her new snuggie like robe. Zipper, snaps and instructions on the box, this is no easy task getting the thing on. It took three of us to help her out of it! Having the gang at the farm for lunch is the best way to start the holiday season.























As always the girls take the dining room and leave the boys in the kitchen.
Check out Doug's new toy. What was Nita thinking when she purchased a hatchet for the gift exchange? We will all be REAL nice to


Doug from now on.
On to New Orleans to visit the children. We were surprised to meet the new kitty cat Sheldon. Did they need another pet you ask? Who am I to talk with three cats and Katie Kate!
On to Baton Rouge for Christmas Eve. Shela has a fabulous new white Christmas tree. More pets you ask? Yes, that is Chloe and Tucker with Glenda in the chair. On to Joe and Mina's house for Christmas Eve supper.


Gumbo is at


the top of the list every year.














Pho Bang breakfast is our New Orleans way to start the Christmas Day feasting. Noodle soup and grilled pork are the best. Too bad it was only 63 degrees in the restaurant.
Then on to Picayune, Mississippi to visit the Sables. Connie decorated the house in gingerbread men to match the quilt the kids gave her for Christmas. Shrimp gumbo to top off the




Mississippi menu. Presents opened and lunch served then on to a cut throat game of Nertz! Serious card playing with this group.
A fun filled Christmas for the whole family. All good things must come to an end so home we went.
Grace had the Mary Kay girls together for lunch on Tuesday. Sarah is soooo grown up! It was great to have a chance to catch up with the team again.
Wonder where we will spend the holidays next year?
