The Most Wondeful Time of the Year...

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
and hearts will be glowing,
when loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

What started as a Christmas progressive dinner about 15 years ago, has been modified to one location to accommodate our growing family. No matter the location, the Williams Family Christmas party is always wonderful!

I love these two dolls ~ Poppy my darling great-niece and Cheyenne my gorgeous niece. Cheyenne and I hung out a lot when she was younger. How I miss those days. We had a lot of fun! She will graduate from high school next spring. How did that happen?!

Mark and Tiff ~ how great to have someone who is crazy about my son!

Once again we find Christopher with Miss Pop-tart!

A huge, sincere thanks to Holley for single-handedly arranging all the details of the 2009 party. She had gifts for the little ones and fun games. She also made sure we all had a food assignments and lovely decorated tables. Thank you so much Holley!!

We love having Pam's Mom, Billie join us. Billie and Johnnie Belle enjoyed watching all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren at the party.

Terri lead us in singing several Christmas carols while we waited for the arrival of The Queen's Storyteller.

Lee, thanks for another wonderful costume and for all the effort you put in to making the party so memorable!

From head to toe this costume was fabulous!

Another Lee original ~ this years story was about how Santa lost his magic powers to get down the chimney.

Holley and Terri adore their brother. You can see how much they enjoy this part of the evening.

Chris narrating another favorite, The Nativity story.

Brooke once again produced a wonderful pageant. I will never forget Minie portraying Mary.

What an amazing cast and sweet way to feel the true spirit of the season.

Thanks family, it was great to be together!
Until next year...
