Christmas with the Welches

6 Jan

Has it already been 2 weeks? Well…let’s see here. After Christmas, the fam drove to Biloxi to dad’s work condo. We spent the night there before driving the rest of the way to Louisiana to visit mom’s side of the family. Friday night was pretty chill…we wandered around a couple of Wal-Mart parking lots, hit up a few Old Navy’s, and I bought a shirt like Jeff’s* at the Polo Outlet. We also ate at the semi-famous Blow Fly Inn in Gulfport. I just wish they’d blown a few more seasonings on my etouffee.

Anyway, I fell asleep on the couch (thanks girls) after a few episodes of House.

A few hours later, we were at Aunt Vickie & Uncle Darvin’s house. It was really great because their whole family was there. It’s been way too long since we were all together, and it was awesome to be able to catch up. Marianne even got some great family pictures of everybody.

Oh, and Goob got to work on her rusty driving skills with the grand-cousins. I’m pretty sure this would be a violation of her parole if the law found out. Even if Kayla is the one doing the steering, it’s the pedal foot that got her in trouble!

* And speaking of Goob…she’s been hiding something from you. You’ll have to ask her about this “Jeff” guy.

    Yay for “Commenter of the month” :) I try my best! It was fun to see everyone as well and I loved that y’all stop by to see the “house”!!!! So is this Jeff guy the guy she was on the phone with at the house – is there a boyfriend in this picture…. As long as he’s a good guy!

    Your house looks like it’s really nice! I’m so happy for you and George to get it. I enjoy your comments and I like hearing how “the other side of the family) :) is doing. Tell your Mom I said Happy New Year! Brenda ( Robert’s sister)
