Sales Landing Christmas...

Christmas at Sales Landing was a little extra special this year. Ricky's cousin Josh got to spend Christmas at home.  He joined the Navy this year after he graduated from high school and we could not be more proud of him. It is so hard to believe that the little boy who was just a kid when I first married into the family is now this young man who makes us all so proud of the person he has grown up to be.

Can't believe that this guy is grown!

Just some of the "adults" on the couch :)

 Ricky ended up being called in for a few hours in the middle of the day on Christmas, he  missed out on the gift exchange but he made it back in time to eat, visit and even got himself a bag of Aunt Lydia's mud balls to take home and hide away from the kids.

We all got to enjoy being together on Christmas Day and then we were all able to get together again just before Josh had to go back for his orders. So, we got to all get a good double dose of family time together and with this bunch, well, that is always nice :) Got this photo of some of the bunch at Josh's send off party...

Thats a fine looking bunch of family...plus Andy (who I think has been adopted in :), and one of Josh's Navy friends. I am blessed to be part of this group!
