Not-Quite-Country Girl

If he were still on this side of Heaven, Daddy and Mama would have been celebrating 64 years of marriage last Tuesday.

Eight months ago, God dropped two very unexpected little blessings into the life of our family.

After a Christmas holiday basketball hiatus, the oldest Gray grandsons were back in action this weekend.

While I loved ALL of our Christmas celebrations, my favorite one was our last one...when all four of our children and their families were all able to be here together this past Saturday. 

Every December, Kristoffer and Dana's kids have a surprise activity each day leading up to Christmas. 

I finished wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve.  With 11 grandbabies to buy for (plus a few others as well), it made for quite a big job but I got 'er dun just in time!

I may be a tad bit biased, but that kid in the Santa hat is the cutest thing ever!

No, not for Christmas.

Our son Kyler and his sweet family live near Cincinnati, about an hour and 45 minutes drive away.

It's been a short-but-fun Y basketball season for our kindergarten twins Kassie (middle) and Kelsey (2nd from right).  Oh, and their wonderful coach, their daddy/my son Kristoffer.
