Christmas in Hohenwald

Each of us kids got a hammock swing from Mom & Dad. I can't wait to for the weather to warm up a bit so I can put my swing up & enjoy a good book on the back porch. I've wanted one of these for a long time. Thank you, Mom & Dad!!
Any time we all get together at Mom & Dad's is a fun time but never enough time. The number of grandkids continues to grow & watching them play together gives me a new appreciation for family. AbiLyn enjoys bossing the little ones around. Judah likes running from one thing to the next. Lex does his own thing & is happy with that. He & Judah are about the same size now. It's going to be so fun when they get older & start picking on each other! Jacob & Cherish are content with being held as much as possible & try to keep out of reach of the bigger kids. We attempted to play Trivial Pursuit 90s edition. This is a favorite among the Drokes, but there are certain 'rules' we play by in the Droke house when this game is played. For instance, it's perfectly ok for the person reading the question to 'help' the player as they see fit. It was fun, but Jennifer & I had to drop out to feed babies, which left Eric, Jason, & Dad pressing on til the end. I'm not sure who won, but it was fun hearing them discuss the questions & giving hints.
I don't know what happened, but I didn't make enough pictures while we were in Hohenwald.
