After all the careful preparations and hurry and flurry, the big day finally arrived and brought snow along with it for the first time in seventeen years here in the mid South. The best part of any Christmas is family gathering together to share a fabulous meal, laugh and remember times past, play Dirty Santa and exchange other gifts and simply enjoy being together with loved ones we don't get to see every day. Once again, my sister Ann and her husband Terry went above and beyond to make their home welcoming and festive for our family Christmas gathering. Can't thank you two enough for all the preparation and hard work you put into hosting this occasion. It was totally fabulous, as always. You guys rock! Here is our Christmas 2010 Mabry Family Portrait and all those who were able to attend:
My brother Ken Mabry and his children Chris Mabry, Kendra and Al Shelton, Ian Mabry and Evan Mabry
My late brother Robert's son Alex Mabry
My sister Ann and her husband Terry Sissom
My sister Jane and her husband Don Foy and their daughters Sarah and Julia
My daughter Kelly and her husband Kerry Kimbrough
My daughter Holly and her husband Jerry Myers and their children Shelby and Elijah
Moi and my hubby Neil Ranft
And of course the reason this gathering of loved ones exists--my 89 year old mother Hamp Mabry
Another tender Tennessee Christmas has come and gone, one for our memory books. God is so good and we are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful loving family.
Merry Christmas!
