Part three includes Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with the Nettles' family! Richard woke up sick on Christmas Eve, but was ready for some cinnamon toast and ginger ale by the end of the night. Papa read the Christmas story, a Nettles Christmas Eve tradition and we all shared what we were most thankful for this year! Grady, Sarah and Jamie's baby on the way, Gene and Rosanne's success with Geneaology and Irene's straight A's in school were the major things mentioned! We got our Christmas pjs and took a family photo. Then Christmas morning was filled with running down the steps, a huge and delicious breakfast, opening of MANY gifts and then one very special gift at the end.....Sarah got a new minivan from Jamie! Then we packed up the car and drove down to Mt. Pleasant to be with my family for a few days.

Alise, AW, your post makes me miss christmas. P.S. Not only does Rhett cover his face like Grady when he eats/sleeps, he also has that grey Old Navy outfit that Grady does posing with his great-aunt/grandmother. I can already tell they are going to be best of friends!
Love the pictures of Grady in the wagon...I can tell he already likes it! Troy LOVES his!
I love the matching pjs! Grady is growing so fast and he is so adorable...Hope this finds you well! Nicole
