What a great time with family! First we enjoyed Santa and family exchange of gifts at our home. Then traveled to Phenix City to spend Christmas Day with my parents/siblings/children. Snow on Christmas Day in Phenix City -- almost unbelievable??!! Then staying several days with my parents just to have time with them. Brought the video camera so I could tape my Dad sharing about his childhood days in South Carolina. Can't wait to share it with others. So glad Nate gave me a laptop so I can keep up with everyone and work on my genealogy research too.
Nate and Megan were able to travel to Shreveport to see Ga Tech in the Independence Bowl - but unfortunately Air Force won that one!
Enjoying quiet time with parents playing Spades and now watching Jeopardy (my mom's fav). Tomorrow Mom, sister Julie and myself will drive to the new Fort Benning Infantry Museum to see the IMAX movie, "Lewis and Clark Expedition".
Sweet Home Alabama! But we will always have a Texas connection with our son and his wife living in Fort Worth area and our daughter/hubby/grandkids in ministry at the Fort Hood Soldier's Hospitality House.

Thanksgiving 2010
A great time - and delicious food - with family and friends. Thanks to sister Julie for hosting the gathering of the Benton clan this year, and the Cox family as special guests. So glad Cheryl's brother, David, was able to be with us, and friend Mike Minor and son, Chad. Nate's girlfriend, Megan, was able to make the trip with him. Elizabeth, Chris and the grandkids caravaned with them, and so we got to visit with both our kids in Phenix City. I think our final count was approx 35 folks.
Nate and Megan traveled on up to Cullman with us on Friday night and we spent time showing off Cullman on Saturday and shopping - had to buy some new #1 Auburn stuff - and then they had to return to Fort Worth on Sunday.

Elizabeth and family stayed over in Phenix City to visit others, and will arrive later today (Weds, Dec 1) for a few weeks at least. Counting on the grandkids to add ornaments to the Christmas tree that Barron and I set up yesterday.
Posting some pictures. You can find a video clip on Facebook, and hope to upload a few more. Nate had a flip camcorder with him that we just had to try out. Also took time to make new family pictures.
