This evening we traveled to Hays, NC to Annie & JD's house for Christmas Eve Celebration.....this is a gathering I used to attend with my folks many years ago.....and in an effort to reconnect with my family....I sent an email to Annie and David....asking if they still all got together and if it would be ok if we came.....they wrote back saying 'of course' and that their numbers had grown....and boy they were not kidding.....I tried to take notes on which kids belonged to who....they were all adoreable....I sure missed Teresa....she could have been so helpful in remembering names & ages. Annie invited us to stay for Secret Santa.....we didn't have gifts but she said they had enough for everyone so we decided to stay....and it was a BLAST!
There were more than 30 people playing....more than I have ever played with before. Matheus got some cool binoculars....I got cheetos and Tommy got a magnetic picture frame with $5 in it. They had mason jars with candy in it for everyone and little gifts for the kids.....someone was there dressed up like Santa and the kids sat on his lap and he gave them something out of his big red sack....it was so cute....Matheus and I made up treat bags on the way there and gave them out to all the kids there....he seemed to really enjoy it.....and all the kids said thank you.....they were so adoreable! I took notes and took pics of the families together with Santa so I think I know who goes with you.....It was REALLY great seeing everyone!
Ok...Tina has 2 children....Janessa and John
John has been married twice...his first wife's name is Vickie and he had 2 kids with her....I think....Aaron...16 and Ashley...18....and I think there are a couple of half children there too...he also has a boy named Jacob who is 17....I am not sure if Vickie is his mom or not....he is not listed as her child on her facebook page....the source of all information....ha...Christian and Caleb (6th grade)...but they both have different last names so I am assuming they have different fathers...John is currently married to Julie and they have twins who are 3 years old.
Janessa is married to Nathan and they also have twins Parker and Paige who are 6 years old.
Wanda has two daughters....Sherry and Lisa.....Sherry is shorter but older....is the only way I can keep them straight...they are both beautiful
Lisa has 2 children....Blake who is 17 and Courtney who is 11
Sherry has two children as well....Grace who is 11 and Emily who is 6
Tommy had two children....Shelby & TC
Shelby has two children...Zack....the little guy in the Panther jersey who is 6 and baby Ryan who is 3 months
Jerry's children include Karen & Allen
Karen has Haley who is 4 and Alex who is 6
Allen is married to Jessica and his kids include Jarod who is 10, Dylan who is 7 and Madison who is 3
And of course there is David and Teresa....Annie and JD's kids....David is married to Jennifer and has only one child....Elizabeth...she is the cutie with the curly hair...she is a little too shy to sit on Santa's lap. Teresa didn't have children and she was divorced from her hubby, Jim.
