Rainey Christmas 2013

On Saturday, December 28th my sisters, brother and their families came to our house for the annual Rainey Christmas get together.  We ate and visited and laughed a lot!!

We had two brand new family members in attendance.  Ann is holding great-niece, Elise and Barbara is holding great-niece, Hadley. 

 
Barbara saw a cake in a magazine and decided to try to make it for the get together.  It was  success but she said she would never do it again.  It was a white chocolate icing covering  red velvet and cheese cake layers.  It was beautiful and delicious!!!
 




 
Steven got Chandler and Rainey to help rake leaves into a massive pile.  Then they had a blast running and jumping into the pile or riding their bikes and scooters into the pile.  Looks like fun!!






















 
While the kids played outside, the grown ups visited - reminisced about the past, made up new stories, etc.  :)


 
When family members started to leave they had to have a prop picture.  Britni had found these at Hobby Lobby and decided we needed to use them today.

We forgot to get Dylan's picture before he left.
