GG's blog helper has been delinquent, so apologies all around for this very late posting! Enjoy the pictures of a joyful family gathering, missing quite a few this year to illness and other maladies. We really did miss you all that couldn't make it.
Mawmaw Sylvia sharing wisdom with her brood, who still need her wisdom!
The cookin' crew at the Roost. Jimmy and Renatta were putting together some awesome stuffed jalapenos, while Bridgette and I were just working our standard culinary magic!
Mawmaw in hog heaven surrounded by her great-grands; Sylvia Baughman, Katie Adams, Thomas Adams, Will Adams, Griff Shoemaker, Kaylee Griffin (oops! She's a Grand!), and Beka Shoemaker.
Katie Adams already demonstrating her ballerina talents; she's up on point!
Mawmaw and Abbey sporting their Christmas head-gear.

Sylvia and all her children, first generation that is.
Even though many were missing, we still managed to put a pretty good crowd on the steps for the traditional 'whole fam damily picture'.
Meanwhile, back at Liberty Hill, we were able to continue the Christmas celebration with some that weren't able to make it to the Roost. Here is Evangeline Hopkins, affectionately known as 'Pooter', rocking in the chair her Mom and Uncle Matt rocked in.
My grands in their grand costumes, Morgan, Viola, Mercedes, Emma and Evangeline.
Yes, I'm happy. Holding one of my favorite annual gifts, the publication of the Matt Griffin family blog, so I can have all those pictures in my hands.
Papa Wes models the shirt that Kate made for him, illustrating the 'happy birder'. Yeah, that's Wes!
We put on a pretty good feast, and filled ourselves up good. The grands get along in a grand way!
We were so blessed to have our kids in for Christmas! Thanks guys for making that happen.
