Sloop Christmas

Sunday afternoon we came to Southaven and celebrated Christmas with Julie's family. We had the Sloop traditional Christmas dinner of Taco Salad. I really thought that was a weird choice when we were dating but now it is a welcome tradition. This photo is of Julie and her sister Joana and her parents Jerry and Linda.

Hello Dollies-Montgomery Christmas

One of my favorite treats of the holidays as a kid were Hello Dollies. Julie made these this past weekend along with a bunch of other things that my Mom always made. My Dad and Brothers and their families came over this past weekend and we had the Montgomery family Christmas in Searcy. We moved the party up to Church so we would have plenty of room to run and play. We had 19 of us all together at once and our house is not big enough for that big of a group. Other treats that Julie fixed were Chex Party Mix, Peanutbutter Fudge, Sausage Balls, and Peanutbutter balls. After playing kickball in the gym at Church and opening presents and having a lot of fun we went to Huckelberries Catfish House for supper. As a child we often drove from North Memphis to Marion, AR to PawPaws Catfish House.
