We started out our Christmas travels in Jackson this year. Linda had a few more sewing orders to finish up the first morning we were there and Emily wanted to be right beside her. If Linda tried to leave the room Emily would grab her hand and drag her back to the sewing room saying "sewing, sewing." Emily was standing on a bin right beside her and couldn't have been happier!
Bert's grandparents (Mamaw and Pawpaw) drove up from Florida on the 23rd. Emily had a great time playing with them. She's dancing for them in the picture below.
Aunt Carrie (Bert's sister) flew in from Los Angeles the same night we were getting into town. We literally arrived at Jeff and Linda's house within a minute of each other. Crazy when you think about the fact that we were driving from NC and Carrie was flying from CA, and she left after us! Emily LOVES her Aunt Carrie. Carrie and Emily played outside for quite awhile.....running around the yard, picking up leaves and sticks, etc.
Some of the girls....we're missing Alison in this picture.
Emily and her Pawpaw.
The Watts have the fun tradition of filling each others stockings. Every adult has a stocking and we all get something to fill up each stocking. It really is so much fun. The stocking stuffers don't have to be expensive, but it's just fun to see what is in there. There's always such a variety of things since everything is coming from different people. :)
Here are the stockings after they've been filled up. I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the stockings are about to bust. Such a fun tradition!
