Gramma's famous sugar cookies
"the stockings all hung by the chimney with care....." ** with special note taken to Uncle Jeff's stocking in the far left this year, it mysteriously was adorned with BEAT IOWA pins ***
ping pong (aka "table tennis" to some)was a hit this year during our weekend together! Thank-you to Gramma for sacrificing her sewing table.
An entire weekend together was enjoyed by the Cairney's a little earlier than usual this year. Normally, we wait until January to celebrate, but it worked this year for the middle of the month and that started some new traditions for us. We kicked off the weekend with some Friday night "hoop" action watching Jack play basketball. He did a great job entertaining us all with his hustle, amazing defense, being a great shooter, team leader, etc.,) Way to go! The celebrating went into full swing between Papa and Gramma's house on Friday night and Sunday morning brunch and the Jensen's hosting all of us on Saturday. Kate and Ben are always SO excited for the cousins' sleepover all weekend! It is crazy how fast the time goes between all of the card/game playing, pool and "foos"ball tournaments, football watching, dog walking, snacking/drinking (of course -- the food was delicious as always), worshipping together at church, and just getting to spend quality time together catching up on every one's happenings with all of the families. In my opinion, there is just nothing better than a home filled with people laughing, memory making moments and lots of LOVE! What a Merry Christmas weekend it was.....such blessings and we thank-you all for being such a special part of our lives --we love you!
