Christmas 2010

For some reason thongs are becoming a big part of our Dirty Santa gifts.  My mom got them last year and now they are being passed on to June.  It's time to get a new gag gift!

Christmas Memories

Making our Gingerbread House

Big Mama delivered her gifts out to the house on Christmas Eve.  They went all the way up to the top of our staircase.  We always tell her that she shouldn't have!!!

Cam went through the house and took pictures...

The boys Christmas tree...It consisted of all wild animals with lots of camo-he cut off the top!!!

Anuual Live Nativity 2010

It's an annual event at our church, First United Methodist, to participate in the Live Nativity.  A few years ago, some of the older couples of the church handed down the "taking care of" the Live Nativity to our Sunday School Class, the Enjoy Class.  This is a very big job with all the coordinating and such.  Hank & I store the stables ourselves, and it's a very big chore to put it piece by piece together every year-but OH SO WORTH IT.  Cade Carter was old enough this year and he was a wise man with me.  Hank was a shepherd during this one show. There's even real sheep! It's performed three times a night on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd. If you've never just driven by and made a point to stop and just listen to the beautiful music and get that serene feeling of how it was the night Jesus was born...it's a truly wonderful moment. 

Christmas 2011

Sambo got the gag gift this year at Grandmother Carter's Christmas.  It was a Stripper Alarm Clock, yes, you read correctly...It lights up and tells time while the lady dances around a pole.   Of all people to get this gift...it had to of been BoBo!!  Wonder who brought that as a Dirty Santa gift?  Hmmmm....I wonder? 

The Sampson Gang

We went for a visit to see Papa Sam & Mama Linda and the boys received their gifts as well.
