DENNIS FAMILY HOLIDAYS!

As promised, I am going to update you on the Dennis Family Holidays! I have all sorts of pictures to share and I hope that you enjoy them all. If not, that's okay, too! We'll first get started with one of my favorite days of the year; Thanksgiving! We stayed home this year and had a restful time. Breon got food catered for us so I didn't have to do anything but warm it up. It turned out well.


Brea always makes some sort of craft or cute picture for our holidays.

Everyone made something this year. Brea decided to make a favorite of hers and mine; JELL-O

Breon found his place early in the day... the couch



Kourtni made a really good cake with Breon's help. I now know I don't have to do all the cooking. I have a house full of chefs!

We did lots of cool things together this holiday season. One of them was that Brea participated in the children's choir at church. They sang some really cute songs that made us all remember the real reason for the season... the birth of our Savior!

Brea is in the left corner. It was really cold but the kids did an awesome job.

Brea & I had fun in the cold weather.

Some of the songs included hand motions and sign language.



One happy singer!

In the middle of all the holiday stuff, we also have a birthday. Kourtni turned 12 this year and she was so excited. She decided on having a small birthday dinner instead of a party this year and I was thankful to be able to spend a little less money!
Kourtni, in true vampire loving fashion, wore an I love Edward shirt for her dinner. I'm so proud of her! I'm sure Ms. Jaclyn is , too!

Dinner with a few close friends.
We've hit the time were being cool is most important! OMG!


Christmas is always a fun, yet stressful, time for our family. We usually go home to Shreveport and stay a few days with both sides of the family. There is usually some sort of fight or blow up on one side of the family or the other. This year, thankfully, that didn't happen. it was rather mellow and uneventful. The girls were happy and got along with cousins, I rested and got along with siblings, Breon was sick so he got along with others, too!



This is our sad little Christmas tree that we love to death. We sit it on a tv tray and put gifts around the bottom of it and on the floor. Since we spend Christmas morning out of town, this works for us!






We spend Christmas Eve with Breon's side
of the family. It's always fun and there's always a picture taken with a thumbs up in it. It's their thing.










All of the Dennis' together, on Christmas Eve










Now on to my side of the family...



Momma & Ronda, opening gifts, & talking. My niece,Devan, is always being silly! Love that girl.















Daddy is worst than the kids about Christmas. He's always ready to open up gifts!

I hope you enjoyed a few of the highlights from our holiday season. I'll continue to try to do better so I don't have to do so much at one time. I'll leave you with my favorite picture of the season; Kourtni & Brea being silly.
