A Georgia Christmas

I know I am late at getting Christmas pictures on but if you read my sister's blog you have probably seen a few of what I am posting. I had an AWESOME time in Georgia with my family. The girls had told their husbands that this was to be a family Christmas so we were doing everything together-none of this men and women doing things separately! For two days we basically partied! Saturday found us on the mountain hiking and cooking over an open fire at Bob Jones's cabin (not associated with Bob Jones University by any means!) Sunday we had the dedication of Susan and Jeff's little Colton during the Christmas service. What a blessed time to worship and dedicate together as a family. Sunday afternoon was Christmas dinner and gift exchange. The kids draw names and decided this year that everyone had to make their "name" something. In private I will tell you about one of the gifts!

The first picture is Susan and Jeff Hunt with baby Colton after dedication service .
This is a picture of Linda and I after the Christmas service.







The Scarbrough clan. Carson and Linda in the middle. To Carson's left is the Vernon family: Dave and Cheryl, Isaac and Ethan (in front of Papa). To Linda's right is Christa and the Sam's family: Martha holding Peyton, Larry and Carson and Steven are in front of Linda. Sitting on the pew is Jeff, Susan and Colton. Last but not least is me. My "boys" are so cute!!! Can you imagine 6 boys in a trailer playing? Fortunately, the weather was nice enough for them to be outside some.


At the cabin even the big people had to play! Here is Cheryl defending the girl's flag from the guys. The girl's had excellent strategy and finally won much to the chargin of the guys!






Jeff so graciously took his ammunition out and let me "hunt". What I was hunting I have no idea-maybe a man? LOL! Not likely to find one in the woods!





I have many many more pictures that maybe I will share later. I have a new camara and it isn't compatible with my computer so I had to make a CD in order to download them onto my computer and I haven't had time to label them so it is hard to pick the right pictures based on numbers only.
We had a great Christmas with Daddy-he was able to spend the entire day with us at my hourse which is just what my sister wanted. But then that night he was all messed up, couldn't sleep and fell walking in his sleep. Got a big black eye! He looks pitiful.
I have so thankful that God gave me such precious Christmas memories this year. As you all know it hasn't been the easiest of year's for me and God has been so very good to me!
