Days 7-2 of A Patrick Christmas

The highlight of our new Christmas traditions in Memphis was Linny and Elba visiting.  The Kids opened their gifts from them on this day and we went to see Christmas lights the night before.

Another gun, I mean fun, tradition is the boys basketball party!  We had about 15-20 guys at our house for pizza, Crumpy's (Orange Mound Special:note the tin on the counter with 150 wings in it!), and presents for all.  It was a blast and glad that Linny and Elba were able to share in it.  Arm wrestling was the event of the night:)


We went to the Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace and had a scavenger hunt and pictures with Santa.

Our saddest day of Christmas? Saying goodbye to Linny and Elba.  Evident by Lyd, Lyd's face....

We wrapped up Girl's Club Christmas with movie night at our house.  B got to stay up and watch the Nativity Story with us girls.

I threw in two pictures from tonight since it was Christmas Eve.  This tradition has carried over from SC, Birthday Party for Jesus.  B and Daddy made the cupcakes.  Chocolate: our sin, White:  Purity from Jesus, Red: the blood that took away our sin, and Green: B said it represents the grass that the sheep eat (?)

Here are the Patrick and Oliphant kids singing Jesus his Birthday song
