Christmas morning was very special this year as
Addi and Maddox were at our home. We enjoyed

Addi and Maddox were at our home. We enjoyed
watching them come down the steps and see the
presents for them under the tree. Although,
Maddox was more interested in the train set that
he had received the day before for his birthday!
Addi found her Cabbage Patch Triplets and books.
Maddox received a Thomas the Train Lego set.
Jenny got busy putting the train set together.

Then Matt, Kristen and Turner arrived! Adam joined us too.
Turner in his Christmas suit! His 1st Christmas!
Maddox was talking to Turner, his new cousin as Aunt
We enjoyed opening up presents with just our
immediate family before lunch with the rest of
the Boone Family.
Once our family got together, then the rest of the Boone
Family arrived. Marilyn, Ron, Emily, Doug and Bryson.
Julie, Joel, Jodie, Katie and Jay. Lunch was great as usual.
Everyone brings something tasty and we enjoy Christmas
the Christmas gifts to be given out.
just knew that he had it and that he put it under the tree.
He even had Maddox to slide under the tree to look for more
gifts. Finally, Adam remembered that he had put Jay's
gift into a recycled bag that went to Mamaw and Papaw
last year. That tag was left on the bag, so we thought that
it was for M & P, to be given later in the evening.
Jay was patient and kind, waiting for the gift to appear.
Finally it did!!! Poor Uncle Ron, he is still waiting on his
Adam and Addi continued giving out gifts, then asked,
"Does everyone have a gift?" Katie and Matt Boone didn't
have a gift. So Adam searched under the tree once again,
but all the gifts had been given out. Then we asked who
had drawn those two names and I realized what had
happened! I drew Katie and Matt's names for Jenny and
Matt D. many weeks earlier. I shared with Jenny the
names that they had to buy gifts for. But I also told her
that I'd take care of the gifts because she was flying from
Russia. They had enough luggage to deal with as it was for
the four of them. So...it was Mary Ann's fault that Katie,
nor Matt Boone had no gift to unwrap! And I felt so bad!
Katie and Matt were so kind about it. Just for the record,
I went shopping and those two had their Christmas presents
from Jenny and Matt only a few days later. How embarrassing!
came back to High Point to be with everyone for Christmas.
Gifts for Bryson...
Regretfully, the battery for my camera died and I didn't
get any pictures of our Staton get-together at Sherman and
Sandy's house. Mamaw and Papaw, Sherman and Sandy,
Sherri and Ric, Matt, Kristen and Turner, Jenny, Matt,
Addi and Maddox, Adam, Kit and I enjoyed more food, and
gift-giving. If I can get the pictures that Matt B. shared
with me to enlarge and format correctly, I will add them.
They are great pictures, but too small to put on the blog
right now.
