On Christmas morning after we open gifts at home we head straight to moms where she fixes us all breakfast and then we open gifts. It is a great time for us all. Here is Grayson opening his daddy's gift for him from mom and Kenny.
Here is the last gift of the morning. Amber and I took pictures of the kids and had it put onto a blanket for mom and Kenny. Doesn't it look so real? Mom cried and made me and Amber cry! It was a very emotional Christmas! Taylor? He just laughed! ha!
We got to spend time with the Bellamy's this year since they had dinner on Christmas day. They had the same kind of swap as the Martins. I think they call it the Chinese Swap. I call it by where I am such as the martins or in this case the Bellamy Swap. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I always enjoy watching people steal from others........until it happens to me! ha! In this picture we see Granny Bellamy standing up, Kenny next to her on the couch, Pooh, his wife Sandy, their son Justin and then Tamra.......
Here's Grayson sliding out from under the piano. 
In between our stops to moms and the Bellamys we went to Mamaw Stapletons to see her for Christmas. I tried to get her to come with us but she refused. I'm just glad we got to see her!
On Christmas Eve we always go to my mamaw and papaw martins to eat, open presents, play games, and mingle. This is a picture of my mom with her side of the family. From left to right we have my stepdad, Kenny, Amber's husband, Brian, Mom, Tamra, Amber, Grayson, Me, my stepson, Jared, Leon, and Taylor.
Here's my Mamaw martin and Taylor talking about the gloves she got him for Christmas.
AMber opening a card from mamaw and papaw martin.......that is leslie looking so exicted next to her! ha!
We play a game where we pass a present while there is music playing. When the musice stops whoever has the present tries to open it. As u can see Kendall was trying to open it while his wife, Shelley is trying to keep her distance! The men in our family can get pretty dangerous if you get to close to them. HA!
Perfect example! Look at Taylor trying to tear into it! I think Leon finally won in the end. We had a lot of fun!
We took individual pictures of each group of our family~. Here is the reason for the rest of the family, my mamaw and papaw! The beginning of this big family~!!
Siblings........Janice wasn't able to come for Christmas so it was just the three of them this year. (Gary, Barbara~my mom, and Kendall)
Siblings and their Parents. Notice papaw with this black glasses??!! He had recently had surgery on his eye and had to wear these glasses. On the 3rd they both go back and have surgery!
Grandchildren and Greatgrandchildren. Starting from the right and going to the left Amber, Jared, Grayson, Taylor, Jonathon, Leslie, Hannah, Tamra, Laken, and Me
The Martin Family. This is Gary's Crew! Gary, Leslie, Donna, Ashley, and Jonathon. Ashley is Jonathons girlfriend and they are missing Leslies husband, Brad, who is overseas in Iraq.....at least I believe that is where he is......can't remember exactly but I know he is serving overseas right now away from Leslie. Our prayers are with him and her as well......
Jared opening his gifts from us on Christmas Eve. As a ritual the kids get to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Since Jared would only be here one day we let him open all of his gifts at once. 
Here is Tamra and Taylor opening their first gift. Tamra opened a scrapbooking kit and Taylor opened a Spanish pocket translator for his Fly pen.
Here's a picture of some of Tamra's classmates during their Christmas party. I think that is me in the white.........only I wasn't wearing white! ha! Just looks that way.
Must be finger licking good!!
Here is Tamra's friend Maggie.
And here is the reindeer cupcakes Maggie's Mom made for the class! (very cute!)
Grayson came over and spent the night with us last sat. while his mom and dad went to a Christmas party. Here are a few pictures I took of him.
Tamra and her friend Maggie at their Christmas Play at school.
Doing a little hand movement........but who is doing the right one?? It seems the little girl in the back is doing something different! HA! Who knows??!!!
Tamra was all dressed up from church so I decided to try and get some pictures of her. 
Here is my mom at her new job at the Lee County Vo-Tech. She teaches a Personal Grooming class on Thursday so I thought I would get a picture of her in action. 
Look at this little ham! He is so cute! I saw this picture today at his daddy's classroom and I just had to have it! Amber hasn't given me any yet so I had to steal it off the net! HA! HA! There are more but I either have to wait to steal more or till I see Amber to get my own!
