We're baaaaack! Brooke and I are both glad to be home and back in our normal routine, but we both thoroughly enjoyed our time in Alabama. It was Brooke's first trip to the beautiful state and my first trip back in almost 9 years.....which means it's been too long. The reason for the celebration was my grandmother Mamaw's 92nd birthday (yes, I said 93rd on an earlier posting....apparently a lot of us in the family were rushing her one year). The Tuggle Family uses this as an awesome reason to get together for an afternoon and have some fun.
Brooke and Grandad enjoying the pine needles and the COLD day. We have always been Roll Tide fans in our family, but after that horrible game Tech played (or didn't play) against Oklahoma, I was rather glad she was sporting an Alabama sweatshirt instead of her normal garb.
My family is so full of creative people, and they can ALL sing beautifully too. Here is the pumpkin cousin Randy carved for the day. I also heard several cousins say our version of Happy Birthday we all sang for Mamaw was by far the prettiest rendition they'd ever heard!
The Birthday Girl.
It was too cold Saturday to make Mamaw go out for pictures, and there were so many people there that we couldn't all fit in her living room at the same time.....so, I will share pictures of the group pictures we took. This is Mamaw and her four kids that came. She has 5, but not all could be there this year. The kids: My Aunt Joan, My Dad, My Uncle Clayton, and my Aunt Sylvia behind Mamaw.
The Grandkids that were there (a lot were missing):
The GREAT Grandkids that were there: We counted later and figured she has 20 great grandkids, but only 13 were there.
I will post more as I can. Brooke is working on her final two molars, so she goes from being independently happy as a lark, to wanting/needing my attention NOW!!
