We have had a fun couple of days with my mom's side of the family, the Raley's! We had our get-together here in Hot Springs at my Aunt Susan's newly remodeled house, and it was so nice to be in town and not be quite so busy with all of the holiday traveling. We always do Thanksgiving/Christmas together because my uncle and aunt live in Nashville and aren't able to travel home for both holidays. We have a great time...as you will tell from our pictures!
We ate lunch and then it was picturetime! The crazy aunts decided that all of the puppies needed their picture taken! HA! We had four poodles running around the house...it was CRAZY!
Trying another pose with the puppies!
All of the Raley grandkids!
All of the grandkids (and one great-grandchild) and Mammaw
A silly pose!
My whole family with Mammaw
And then we began Dirty Santa! Aunt Susan is excited over her lady leg lamp!
And mom is definitely loving the toilet paper and toilet bowl golf game she received!
Uncle Bruce loves his light-up owl!
The coolest gift of the night...an autographed picture of my handsome hubby! HA! The look on Caleb's face when he opened it was PRICELESS!
Sarah with her hunting gear!
Mammaw with her extendable fork!
Aunt Susan with her Obama Chia-pet! :)
Madi doing a little modeling herself!
Madi opening one of her gifts!
And here is a picture that some people might think is crazy and strange, but it's one of our family traditions! After all the gifts are opened, the adults throw tons of change and money into the wrapping paper, and all of the single cousins get to go "diving" for money! It is a cut-throat, crazy race to see who can get the most change!
