Christmas Fun- Sunday 12/21

Our Christmas celebrations started early on Sunday with a fantastic breakfast at Mimmie's. We had fried chicken breasts (when I told Jarom fried chicken was on the menu he was shocked... for breakfast?! I had to remind him it was the south and haven't you ever had a chicken biscuit for breakfast? Chickfila wouldn't be here if it weren't so yummy!), biscuits, gravy, cheesy hashbrown casserole, bacon, sausage, eggs, fresh sliced tomatoes, and more. Gosh it was amazing food. Mimmie really outdid herself. Aunt Pam sent us all fun gifts and Addie is in love with ours.

The 2009 Keepers of the Cane!

We have a tradition in the Roper family that involves the gigantic candy cane pictured above. Everyone in the room has to guess a number, color, etc. and whoever wins gets to be the Keeper of the Cane for the next year. The cane undoubtedly brings good luck to its keeper. Uncle Dan's family had it this past year and has been blessed with two beautiful healthy baby girls! The cane has had its rough years...attack of the ants would be one of those years, but it is still bringing luck.
The little men had to keep order to all in attendance.I thought I had gotten pictures of everyone, but for some reason my camera was acting up and most pictures turned out blurry. Everyone came to Mimmie's except for the ones that live out of town. We sure did miss Aunt Pam, Ron, Michele, John, & Mandy. We had lots of fun!

After church that day, we headed over to Alisha's for a lasagna dinner. Oh it was so good. Jaroms family all got into town safely, and the cousins are having a blast playing together!

All of the little ones were playing so well together! Notice Addie is standing all by herself in this picture! She never lets me get a picture of her doing it, but I was sneaky this time!After Kena and Avery had all the fun they could muster with the boys and headed off to find other things, Addie still hung in there playing cars with the boys.

Well I've got to get ready for church, so I'll post more of our Christmas later!
