Edwards Family Christmas Party

On Sunday afternoon we had the Edwards Family Christmas party. It included my grandmother, her 8 children, most of her 23 grandchildren, and most of her 38 great grandchildren! Needless to say we use a church hall instead of someone's home to gather!


Here is Cara opening one of her presents, this one is from Great Grandma E
It is a little apron with her name embroidered on it

We wanted a picture of all the great grandkids posing with their present from Great Grandma. With a little help from some elves they either got a Colts pillow, embroidered apron, or a fleece blanket for the little ones. Notice how Cara insists on being front and center for this picture


Then she turns around to start conducting her choir to sing Jingle Bells, do you think she has been to a few concerts recently??



Later that night Daddy and Cara were cleaning up the basement, picking up toys so Daddy cleaned up Cara nd put her away in this tub, then carried her upstairs to show me

Cara thought it was pretty neat sitting in the tub
Daddy is home enjoying his Christmas break so far, 2 whole weeks off! Cara will love all the attention this week! We are really looking forward to Christmas! Can't wait to see her face when she sees what Santa and Mommy and Daddy, as well as both grandparents got her for Christmas! What a joy this is to experience through the eyes of a 2 year old!!

The photo of her conducting the family choir is really cute. Scott should frame that and put up in the band room.
The tube Cara's daddy carried her is is perfect! A princess tub for the princess of the house.
See you all soon. I think Santa already has been here and left a lot of things for Cara and you two, mostly things for Cara though.
Love,
Grandma & Grandpa A
