 The favorite Woodall past time:  Playing games.  Marin and Pat playing Settlers while Collin snacks

 Jon filming Christmas morning

 Christmas Day with the whole gang:  Jeannine, JR, Marin and Archie facing the camera;  Mike, Marcie and Devan facing the others

 Cousins Carden Decker and Merrick Sherwood playing a game.  They're 6 mos. apart

 Jon and Sadie Decker

 The usual sisterly "fun":  Sadie and Haylie

In our backyard with the Deckers


We were all surprised (except Garn, who knew for a month!) when Mandy, Jon, Sadie, Haylie, Carden and Ali showed up 2 days before Christmas!  I was so shocked that all I could say was, " Oh my gosh!" over and over again.  It was the best Christmas to have all my kids and their families together again.  It's like a dream that I keep reliving over again to assure myself that it happened!  It all went by so fast but we have great memories!!
