Christmas Eve with the Arrant Family

Each year my dad's family gathers at my parent's house for a time of fun, fun, fun! We spend alot of time catching up and eating. It makes for a great night. Here are a few pictures of our time together.



My dad is the oldest Arrant sibling. This is his family. My parents are on the fireplace hearth. My brother (Darrell), his wife (Denetta), and their daughter (Megan) are on the left side of the photo. My sister (Gaye), her husband (Ricky), and their children (Adam, Kristin, and Wes) are on the right side. Me and my gang are in the center.

Next is my Aunt Shirley. She is the one that most resembles my grandmother-her mother. I like to say that she is the one with all the "grace and mercy." Her son (Donnie), wife (Samantha) and children (Rachel and Britney) are on the left side. He daughter (Libby), husband (Jim) and children (JoBeth and Jason) are on the right side.

Last but not least is my Uncle Jimmy's family. He lives in New York and did not come in for Christmas this year. However, Shane, his oldest son, and family drove in from Garland, TX to join us.

Anna Beth with her Christmas Eve gift...dry erase board and Expo pens...her favorite. She was a real trooper considering that she was sick (throwing up) that night. She still found within her to smile for the camera. My sunshine girl!

The older great grandchildren decided to draw names and exchange presents since they are too old to get gifts on Christmas Eve from their mom and dad.
