HOLIDAY FAMILY GET TOGETHERS

There were plenty of get togethers in Columbia,SC and in Raleigh over the past week. First stop was to take Ray, Patty, and Bruce to SC to wisit with Mama Cooper at Still Hopes and at Jane and Peter's home. We were fortunate that Maury and I could take some time off to prepare for lots of family and lots of celebrations. Christmas Eve we shared an Indian Dinner with the Steele Family, Caren and the Kids and plenty of fellowship and presents to open. Christmas morning we all gathered at Jason's and Meredith's for a wonderful / tasty holiday brunch. Amelia began her three day "princess frenzee" opening plenty of dolls, Fancy Nancy, pjs, figurines, books, eating utensils, Cinderella wedding ensemble, etc. at more than one family celebration. With all that was going on....she remained very polite, appreciative, and quite the little lady. Friday brought a weekend visit to Raleigh from Jane and Peter bringing Ray, Patty and Bruce back to our house for more celebrations and time together. We also enjoyed celebrating Hannukah and Caren's birthday during our time together. Everyone returned home safely after a great five day holiday.
