Sunday was our Annual Rakestraw Family Christmas dinner and gift exchange, for the kids anyway. We all had a great time and ate WAY to much. Unfortunately, this year we were missing the reason the Rakestraw family even exists, Meemommie. She left us to be with her maker back on October 23rd and we all miss her dearly. She was worried that when she left us we wouldn't continue the Annual Christmas party but there are too many of us that won't let that happen. It's because of her that the family is even here, we owe it to here to keep the tradition alive. The three boys are getting older and at least one of them is getting more "Bah-humbugish" but there are new and old members that are more than willing to spend a few hours with each other once a year.
There are more pictures on my facebook if you are interested. We eat, drink and be merry like most families but it's one of my favorite days of the year. I married into a great family!
