On Saturday, the whole Jones clan got together for dinner. What a feast!
It was sort of surreal that by this time next year, our little Eden will be sitting at the kids table ... HOW WILD!
So does that mean that we are the adult table now? Crap!
Britton's birthday was the 24th. He is in construction. So, what more appropriate a gift than a Mississippi State hardhat ... everyone needs one, right? Ever was so excited when she saw the gift that she couldn't wait to give it to Britton and let him open it with her.
Ever is the second daughter of Allison (formerly Jones) and Jeff Rodgers. She could not help but kiss and love on Eden who returned the favor.
And we finally got a photo of Eden with her great Aunt Janet (Jones Scott).
After dinner, it was time for the family photo. Here is the staging...
And the final product ...
Eden also enjoyed hanging out with her Aunt Courtney, who obliged her by screaming along (one of her new favorite activities).
Saturday night was quite odd. After I had retired, Britton, Courtney, Whitney, and Ashley got into a discussion of who had short and long arms and whether everyone's arms were the exact same length as they are tall ... strange family indeed!
Courtney has long arms if you needed to know.
On Sunday, before everyone left, it was time for the Christmas Card photograph. There were many practice shots and finally the real deal.
Overall, it was a nice visit. We left right when Eden got sleepy (around 1 p.m.) and made it back to Baton Rouge in time for dinner and bathtime. We are EXHAUSTED now that all the traveling is over. We are not going ANYWHERE for a while ... just staying here, enjoying each other, and being thankful for all God's blessings.
