Welcome to the bi-annual the Ealey Family Thanksmas! This is the year when the Ealey Family gets together for Thanksgiving and also celebrates Christmas, since most of us will be spending it in other places. We spent the day at "Gammys" house, which was a little sad since she has recently passed, but it was also nice because we know that she would have loved to have us all there!
Eric, Carley and cousin Emily playing and waiting for the yummy food!
Olivia, Emily, and Chloe "It it ready yet?!"
It is a tradition in our family to have homemade noodles ( with broth) on top of mashed potoatoes. We have had these as long as I can remember, and I still love them, they are really a highlight of the year for me! Olivia enjoyed helping her aunt Melanie while she made the noodles. Olivias' cousin Parker kept getting long noodles during dinner and would tell us it was an Olivia noodle, because she stretched them out while she was "helping".
Eric enjoyed the time and relaxed.
Olivia waiting to open the Christmas gifts.
Showing us her new cowgirl boots and princess jammies.
Carley and Emily. Carley is wearing her new jammies, holding her new puppy and sitting in a shoe box! She fit just right and loved for her aunt Melanie to push her around in it!
Finally to the Baby Shower! Stacy, who is my younger sister by 17 months, is due with her first baby (a girl..Amy) on Feb. 21 (my birthday!) Since we were all together (minus my youngest sister Amanda and her husband), we decided now would be the time for a baby shower.
We had a good time and all the little nieces and nephews thought that Stacy was going to have the baby at the shower!
