All I want for Christmas Is My Viral Con-junc-ti-vi-tis

Okay. In all fairness, we do have something like 7 or so Christmas's and it put me a little behind. A lot behind. Even so, I didn't want to skip Christmas all together. Shane had to work on Christmas Eve, but we took off right after to Albemarle to celebrate with Grammy and PawPaw and family. Sure enough, Roland wakes up Christmas morning looking like he had been scrapping with Mike Tyson (pink eye). We headed over to Aunt Pat Pat's to see what Santa had brought. Then it was on to Tennessee to see Mammaw (not pictured here due to death threats about a previously posted picture of Mammaw). We had a wonderful holiday. I was thinking that there should be little "maximum occupancy" signs on homes to indicate exactly how many toys one house can handle. I am pretty sure we are in violation of that code.

Uncle Dale luuuuvs him some Christmas.

Too sexy for my shirt...

Christmas with Granny Flo.

Talk about a mess of trouble. I don't think you can fit any more hard heads into this picture.

Redneck double stroller! We spent the day in Gatlinburg with Mammaw. Here we are getting ready to go up to the top of the ski slope. Too bad there wasn't more snow so we could have went skiing. Nothing like some 60 degree winter weather.

You know how they say that when your body is in too much pain, you just pass out? Well, here is Freddie (obviously delirious at this point), right before the numbness takes over. My family is a lot to handle, even if you are used to us.

Turd Burglers. Don't ask.

Roland knows that if you want to get the great Christmas gifts, you have to go straight the source.

These pics are on our way back from TN. This is Fancy Gap, I think. The whole town is very beautiful, but the river and the rocks were the icing on the cake.

We also had Mamaw and Papaw over right after Christmas. Here is Duncan discussing his gifts with Mamaw.

Mamaw had an awesome hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub. The boys were very excited about swimming.

Papaw Doug getting a serious arm workout!

Shane's friends always said he must have some monkey blood in him. I think he has passed some on to Roland.

Mamaw and Roland working on their excel spreadsheet. Okay, playing games, but they look so serious.

Peace on Earth, good will to all...

Well, I have used all of my cheese doodles to placate Duncan while I worked on this post, so-til next time, yo.
