On Sunday morning, we drove from Hope Mills to Lucama to visit my dad's side of the family. We met at Granny's house, as we've done every year for my whole life! I love traditions that really stick...for a long time. This particular tradition means that my Granny has had to open up her home faithfully and graciously every single year, and she always does...such an example to me of loving your family. What a legacy. Uncle Larry and Aunt Stella were there with smiles (only after I got on them for not smiling for the camera...:) )
After we ate, gifts were given...mainly to Granny and the kids.
This was V and K's first Christmas gift opening experience of the year...they loved it. It makes me think that Friday and Saturday are going to be really fun!

Sweet Hannah waited so patiently for Vivian to open the gift she gave her before she opened her own. I thought it was precious! She was genuinely excited to see Vivian's reaction to the gift she gave (a play cleaning set...broom, mop, bucket, etc, which she loves! She has been sweeping constantly the last two days).
