So the weekend following Christmas we trucked it down... well, actually, up... the road to Chimney Rock for a very Brady Christmas. Oh wait, I mean a very Howard Christmas.... Wah, Wah...
So I used to think it was "crazy" when my siblings would come home from college for the one year I was an only child. Ha... 18 year old self, you have much to learn!
This was our biggest and longest Howard Christmas yet! Typically we always just had an evening together because there was never a place that would house us all over night. But now that we have "Chimney Pop" Lodge -- we are able to spend days and nights together and it is priceless!
Under one roof we had 10 grandchildren - ranging in age from a mere 3 weeks to 7 years old, 11 adults - ranging in age of a YOUNG 30 (haaa) to a respectable 60 (love you mom and dad).
James had the best time hanging with all of his cousins... Jimmy and I had too much fun hanging out with all my sibs, their perfectly matched spouses and Gigi. It was a great weekend!
Here are some photos of our time together:
Wyatt was dressed to impress (Auntie Em gave him this outfit she bought at a French boutique, aww wee wee!):
My sissy and me with our wee little babies, looooove:
Sweet Hunt was fitted for his helmet early... He's gearing up for his future as a star linebacker for the Clemson Tigers!
There is always a roaring fire at the "lodge":
Pop and Wyatt sweetness:
Gracie is such a great big sister (and great big cousin!):
Daddy-Wyatt snuggles:
How do you settle down some rambunctious grandchillen'? Turn on the TV. Lol
Porch sitting has never been so... peaceful.... nor relaxing..... Riiiiight.... :)
We actually made this happen... A photo with every Howard family member present! It was easy peasy.... Haaaaaa
