Everything has its beginning, and for our 5 1/2-year-old grandson Abram's basketball career, that beginning was this past weekend.

Had a recent fun little photo shoot with some pretty cute boys...

While their mommy and daddy did a short get-away to Michigan after Christmas, Abram (5 1/2 years), Lucy (3 1/2), and Daniel (19 months) had their vacation at Gramaw's.

Be still, Gramaw's heart!

Yes, we sure did have a fantastic family Christmas celebration on Saturday.

Quiet before the Christmas Day chaos.

My father-in-law Kenny had an overflowing house of 42 for his early family Christmas.

See these 24 kids here?!  I am still on Cloud 9 after their FANTASTIC Christmas musical performance last night!

When sweet Lucy Pearl was born 3 1/2 years ago, she stole our hearts...she is a charmer, for sure!

Our 6th-grader Karter officially began his Shenandoah basketball career this week.
