Christmas time






It has been a busy and fun week here in Birmingham. We started the week off at Bill and Jennifer`s new house for a cookie/dessert party on Monday night. It was an early Christmas get together for the McMahon side of the family. The house looked beautiful, the food was good but the company was the best! We all had a great time visiting and being with the two newest members of our family, Heston and Adelyn. They even had some bonding time with each other and the cousins. Tuesday night, Bill and his family came over to our house for dinner. Lindsey helped with the parfaits for dessert, just like Loisie use to make for the grandchildren . We enjoyed having them over so much. Wednesday night, Bill picked us up to go the candlelight service at Shades Mountain. His family, Jane, Tom, Lara, Brent and Rebecca, Tommy and Heston were all there. Heston sat in the back and had to get up a few times because of his new found way he likes to talk, loudly. We think it is cute but his Mom and Dad are trying to pipe it down a bit! It was a beautiful service.
Today was a great Christmas with everyone. We missed Billy and his family but we had already had our Christmas with them and we know they had a nice day at his house. We missed Kevin and Megan and Addy at Jane`s house for lunch but saw them later in the day at Anne`s house. Anne, believe it or not, was "COOKING" supper for them at her house tonight. Now, those of you who know Anne, know that she no longer cooks. She doesn`t enjoy any part of it, in fact, that is why she works, so she will not have to cook. (That is a direct quote from her?!!) But today, all bets were off and she was cooking for Kevin and his family. I`m sure it was good. We enjoyed having Katie home with us. She made it in yesterday , even going through Chicago with the bad weather. I was grateful to have all my family in town and together this week. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!!! Gaga
