Smith Family Christmas

Every year ...around the first of the New Year, we all get together with the extended part of our family...they come from far and wide and we meet up at Miss Mary's house for food and fun!
Thought I would share a few pictures from today!


After we ate and got full on fish and all the fixins, we all gathered outside for a little fun....this would be Clint Weldon and Jake Smith wrestling in the front yard! Not sure who won, but I think Jake was a little too small for this weight class! :-)









This is the whole group. All of the Fred and Mary Smith Family...sure turned out to be a small picture considering there are so many of us. I think there are just a few missing folks like John David, Mary Kate, Rodney, Jennifer, Aaron and Caroline...and Daniel Smith(today was his birthday). We missed them! Aren't we a great looking bunch!!!








This next group ...and what a happy group they are...is from left to right: Uncle Franklin Smith (Mr. Fred's Brother), Aunt Faye Osborn (Uncle Alton Smith's Wife), Aunt Ida Belle Albritton, Aunt Betty Smith (Uncle J.T.'s wife), Miss Mary, and Aunt Irene Williams. I am not sure what was so funny, but they sure were laughing!



Now, I might get in trouble for putting this picture on here ....cause it sure looks like Weyland smelled something very unpleasant...but it was just too funny not to share...this would be (backrow): Michael Smith, Sylvia Weldon, Kenneth Smith, Keith Smith, Randy Smith, Weyland Smith. (front row) Wayne Smith, Charlene Killgore and Ann Jones.








These wonderful looking kids are (back row) Bradley Smith, Terah Smith, Ethan Smith, Clint Weldon, Zach Killgore, Brandon Smith, Nicole Smith and Shea Killgore. (front row) Ashlyn Smith, Colton Jones, Jeremy Smith, Jake Smith and Jason Smith. Aren't they a rowdy lookin bunch!





We had a really good time visiting with everyone and even had a few volley ball games, but I didn't get pictures of that. Couldn't play and take pics too!


Now I couldn't put all these on here without including this last picture. Uncle Franklin wanted his picture made with me and Charlene. He is such a blast to be around...always keeping something going! He and I have a special bond ever since I rebroke his ribs for him at a funeral...long story, but he forgave me and we have been big buddies ever since! Love you very much Uncle Franklin!!!!

Well, I don't remember who's funeral it was, but Uncle Franklin had just broken his ribs a couple of days before....I did not know this....so, I went in and gave him a big ole hug and I guess I squeezed him a little too tight...cause after he got back home he called me to tell me that I had messed them up for him...oops! So he picks at me all the time about hugging him so tight and lets me know that they aren't broken anymore...:-)

Aunt Faye let me know that it was Uncle Alton's funeral that happened at Sylvia.
