It all started Christmas Eve with a clogged sink! Barry and Bill made a great pair of plumbers and had it under control in no time at all! Could not resist this picture!
Mom & Dad are always amazed when we come charging in on Christmas morning! There were 29 of us there! We gave Grandma Gloria and Grandpa Jerry an empty scrapbook ~ then one at a time, starting with Aunt Linda, we presented them a page to put in it. Every grandchild had a special page, telling of their fondest memories of their grandparents. It was priceless.
G'ma Gloria said it wasn't very nice of us to make her cry on Christmas! :-)

These little cousins had so much fun together! They loved the dominos!

To top it all off, Barry and I drove to St. George and spent New Year's with his mom and dad. They are the BEST! We had a great time watching football, shopping, eating and of course, Granny kicking my butt in skip bo! It's true!

Wow you took alot of pictures! I always love Christmas morning witht the Rawlings fam but it really was special this year with the book we gave Gma and Gpa. What a great idea!
Can I just say, I think you have such an adorable family?!
Heu Lori, I've been wandering around "Blog" land and guess who I found? Your holidays seemed great. I am so happy for the peace you have in your family and the opportunity to spend time together on holidays. Looks like you had a blast. Hope the rest of the year goes as well.
