Let the Christmas Parties Begin!

Ellie assisting her Pepaw (Gary-Jamie's Dad) in opening his Dirty Santa present. Notice the M&M's that she has latched on to. Yeah, Pepaw never saw these again - M&M's are her favorite candy!

More gift opening. Terry Joe Owens has assistance from his grandson, Brock (back of his head).

Granddaddy & Memama (Alvin & Peggy Owens Harrell) admiring his Dirty Santa gift. He didn't keep this one very long!

Some of the kids playing - Macy Ruth Chandler, Ellie Grace, and Avery Owens. What pretty girls they are!

Memama (Peggy Owens Harrell) & Jean Owens guarding the cakes! It's a hard job to keep family from eating these before their supper!

With the Christmas season comes the parties and other festivities which have already began for the Carson Clan. Our Christmas parties kick off with the Owens' Family Christmas, which is held each year at The Chandler's. The party always includes special requests for food - top picks include homemade coconut cake and boiled custard, a few rounds of Dirty Santa, and of course catching up with the family members. This year, a Christmas trivia quiz was included which brought out all our competitive sides and lots of laughs. I bet this becomes a new tradition!
