Elliott party

We hosted my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my dad's side for a long-overdue get-together the weekend before Christmas, and we had such a sweet time enjoying family, food, and fellowship. Blythe and Joy were working hard combining Noah's Ark and the Nativity scene as everyone was arriving. The animals worshipping Jesus get a lot more exotic that way...

 Chatting with our precious Aunt Boo.

 Somehow we became pretty segregated along the way, so here are the ladies after dinner...

 And the men!

These sweet folks are so dear to us, and we were so thankful for everyone making the trek from many different directions to come enjoy a sweet night of family!
