Hall Family Christmas


The whole group! Every year we take a family photo and it seems like Jason will position himself to make it appear he belongs to anyone else but me. In this picture, it looks like Kim, James, and Jason are one little happy family! We'll have to do better next year! Ha!

One of my favorite parts of the holidays are the food. We all bring snack items to add to what mom and dad have made. I LOVE homemade chex mix and my dad makes the BEST! We also had lots of other good food and some mighty tasty catfish!
When we arrived at mom and dad's, we found paper towel rolls with each child's name under the tree attached to red string that was strung all over the house. Everyone rolled up their gifts and finally 'wound up' finding their present. The kids seemed to love finding their toys!

Speaking of gifts, the kiddos could barely contain their excitement before opening presents. They would hardly sit still for a quick group photo. Aren't they the sweetest group of children you've ever seen!
Ose and Pa with all their grandkids! We're glad we could contribute one this year!

We played lots of fun games. My favorite was the "Family Feud" where the Hatfields and McCoys competed to see who knew the most about Christmas trivia.

Jamie brought a cheeseball that was so good and she shaped it to look like a pine cone. Everyone kept teasing her that it looked more like a pineapple...what do you think?
On Saturday, we all relaxed and enjoyed outside activities on a very cold day.
