'Twas the week before Christmas
And the Reeves had all met,
And, as typically southern,
The weather got wet.
The games that they played!
Oh how they did laugh!
And all the little girls had a
Scrubbley-bubbley bath!
The gifts got exchanged.
The food they all ate.
Then they play in the yard
Until it was late.
Too soon it was over
And time to depart
Then kisses and hugs
Were given straight from their hearts.
We thought of the family
And talked about y'all
And send you glad tidings to
The tall and the small.
So from all of our clan
to kin and to friend-
Merry Christmas to all
and may your team win!

Twas a grand time had by all that gathered here this past weekend. We opened the door and let Christmas in early. Chinese pictionary, big breakfast, laughter, bubble baths, hide and seek...We will critique at a later date to see what we shall repeat and what we shall eliminate for next year. The house was full. The food was plentiful. And the noise! Oh the noise, noise, noise, noise! I enjoyed every minute.
The weather was warm and humid. We took advantage of it and snapped photos outside and played until it got dark.
The Alabama clan.
The In Town Gang and a creeper in the background.
Whatamustache! Out of Town Gang.
Silly snap complete with photo bombing creeper. Do you see a trend? Poor Super Carrot had the same reaction to Santa.

Once again the house is too quiet.
Silent night. Holy night. I am making room for the peace.
The two of us will spend Christmas with my Mom this year.
Merry Christmas to all.
I just can't resist. This is one of my favorite Christmas Eve quotes...
| BACKWARD, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, | |
| Make me a child again just for to-night!
