2014 Christmas with Wimer/Truitt Family!!

Bob and I are blessed with a large his/hers family! We have 7 kids between us, 15 grand children, 1 great grandchild and another great grand baby on the way in August. We got to have most of them with us for Christmas except one family, and one son, Lawayne who passed away unexpectedly early this summer and was missed so much by everyone. We had a houseful on two different days back to back!  Our family has grown to the point that we had to migrate out to the garage which we had made into a make shift game room with air hockey, a ping pong table and an electronic dart board. We had so much fun, it was really neat seeing everyone and having such a good time!

I think Christmas has just about tuckered this little guy out.

Brad's gift from his brother, Scott! Brad had the old lava lamp that we had when he was a little boy out for years, and it just didn't look pretty anymore. The lava had gotten all broken up and yucky looking and they had put it away. Scott got him a brand new blue one for Christmas, and it is proudly displayed in their living room!

Papa's got his hands full here!!
It was just a great Christmas, and Papa and I enjoyed so much getting to spend these special moments with our children.  Christmas truly is a Gift from God, and getting to spend time with our family was an extra blessing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

The Christmas Tree Is Up 2014

The tree is up and did a little decorating today!  Starting to feel a lot like Christmas!
Sissy could hardly wait to get under the tree!!
So far she hasn't tried to crawl up in it like the first few years. A few squirts with a water bottle finally broke her of that! 

Taking her afternoon nap.

I collect Santa Clauses. This is just a few that are on the tree and elsewhere in the house!


One of my nativity scenes

A ceramic nativity scene that I have had for many years!

Bob and I still have to have our stockings up!! lol
