A Parnell Christmas

For the first time my mom, dad, sister and her girls came to our house for our Christmas with my side. My mom and dad thought it would be easier since our kids are still little and we have to bring so much besides all the presents and take back all the presents. It was a great idea and we really appreciated it, especially since we had so many big travels this year with Iowa, Memphis and Harrison. They still had Christmas as usual at their house Christmas day and Steph and the girls were there, but we weren't, which was a 1st for me in 33 years!
We had a great day! I wish it would have lasted a week. We had a BIG Christmas lunch (in the dining room) and presents before and after. Everyone spoiled us as usual and gave us all such wonderful, needed and fun gifts. Thank you so much!!! We are very fortunate to have such amazing parents, sister, brother-in-law and nieces!! We wouldn't be where we are if it weren't for you Mom & Dad/Sandy & Floyd T.

The other tree. I only put up the 2 trees this year since we had just gotten settled and finished decorating the house. I didn't want to take everything back down to put out ALL the Christmas, so just the stockings, all the pictures with Santa, 2 trees and a few other decorations got to come out of the tubs this year. But next year...Christmas Explosion!!!
