More Christmas with cousins

The kids and I played lots of Phase 10 the days after Christmas while poor Jason fought a terrible sinus infection. He got an antibiotic on Friday but it was a rough 5 days for him.

On Thursday, the Starnes crew came!
They got mugs with their names on them from Aunt Deda.

They played trivia games and some type of hide and seek downstairs.....lots of happy screaming and doors slamming....



On Friday we saw the Wonka movie at the Carolina theater....much better than we expected!



On Saturday, the Crim side and Aunt Anne came!

Buffie (Crim) and JJ Cullens came with their oldest Hayden and his fiancé, Florica.

Jonathan Crim came but his boys and new wife weren't able to.

Jake and Kelly Crim and their girls Olivia, Tori, and Bee.

They enjoyed doing trivial pursuit!




Starnes and Jake Crims girls (2nd cousins with the others)!

Thanksgiving & Christmas

 Thanksgiving at Deda's! Justin didn't feel so swell but got better!


Spent the night at Linda/Gary's that night. Jason went deer hunting Friday morning but unfortunately his borrowed deer stand was stolen and no luck getting a deer.

The kids & I spent one more night and went to Walmart with Linda on Saturday.

Got a new Christmas tree!




Linda and Gary's on December 23rd!
Many enjoyed playing the Phase 10 card game!




We spent December 23rd with Karen and Miranda, going to church and having BBQ at her house afterwards. Kids played, then we went to the Candlelight service.



Christmas Eve dinner at Karen's.










We went back to Linda & Gary's late Christmas Eve so the kids did their stockings Christmas morning.




GG and Grandad's for dinner.



Enjoying our bathrobes from Karen.


Both the kids felt sickness last week, even Justin missing the 2 last days and Hallie missing the last day. Both are better but Jason thinks he has a bad sinus infection after having flu B last week. We've done lots of mom/Hallie sleepovers with the boys having theirs! Hoping for a restful week!
