McCoy Christmas In Pictures

Family
Mom has had this old Santa for as long as I can remember. Sure like this guy.

The boys playing 42. Lucy is learning how to play.
Mr. Santa saying...good grief, look at all of the food!
Mom's tree
Only one of the wrestling matches that took place over 4 days.
The annual cousins-pile on the bed on Christmas morning picture. We need a bigger bed.
Brothers and sister
Yes, this is funny
Ky. So cute

We took turns opening presents so we could see what everyone was given. Fun.
This child cracks me up

Lucy
New pajamas!



Interesting. Only Wes
Dad is up and doing pretty good after his tractor accident. We were all pretty emotional and thankful that he is still here with us. He wrote a great letter to all of the grand kids about his faith and his love for them.

Christmas Breakfast
Family picture minus Colt and Rachel.
Joseph and Granjan. So good to see him and MaryNell and Uncle Gerald
Standing in front of the fire is a full time job. Love it.
So, after this fun trip we came home and hosted Sid's side of the family here at our house. I will post pics of that great time tomorrow. For now, I would love to leave you with this message:


Psalm 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
