Fordyce Family Christmas or 23 and counting...


What a great time we had! Dinner at my mother-in-laws then a walk across the driveway to my brother-in-law Raymonds for desserts and gift opening. Wow, the family just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Not only through marriage; Buck and Lisa, but with the addition of two babies, Stuart and Cash we were getting quite cramped in Norma's house. It had been getting that way for a couple of years now since our grown children had gotten serious sweeties and all were attending Christmas dinner at Grandma's. Raymond came up with the perfect solution to the events and a great "BIG" thank you to him and his sweetie Annette for letting us do these things at their home. After our fill of desserts and gifts we played a really fun game. It required the players to write a name down on a piece of paper and then try to match the name with the player. One person had to read the names out loud therefore couldn't play, the rest of us had to remember the names read aloud which was only twice. It was a scream, when my youngest niece Estelle (age 5) guessed her Grandmas name "hot toddy" on her first try...

ETA: And a shout out of a Happy Birthday to a dear friend, Dale. I hope you had a good one!!
