celebrating Christmas & the New Year with the Turley’s

My parents had all of their kids & grandkids together today. That explains why we had family pictures earlier.  Luckily, we saved the better part for tonight (I mean who really enjoys taking family pictures anyway). My parents gave everyone their Christmas presents tonight…it was great, it was like extending the holiday.

I love this picture…it reminds me of how much fun Andy & I used to have at the church dances growing up. We let each kid pick a dance move & then we all had to copy them, pretty funny dances.

Porter likes to incorporate climbing in his dance moves.

How cute are Josiah & Marlee dancing together…I love when these two get together, they are so funny, crazy & cute. Marlee is sporting her new outfit from Grandma Turley. She loved the pink tutu.

My mom gave several of the grandkids blocks & Legos tonight, they loved playing in the hall with them. I loved how jammed in they are, but they like the lights in the hallway & the flat surface.

It was great to see all of my siblings today & spend time together with everyone.
