More Flashbacks!

Since this is our version of a scrapbook... I thought I would include Joey so our kids could read about it one day! Here is what Joey remembers about Christmas. I still get stuck typing, but he is narrating =)

1. Midnight mass. He remembers not listening to a word the priest said because he was too busy thinking about the toys he was going to be getting the next morning.

2. His dad always worked night shift. Every year he got the phone call from him that Santa was flying over the Chevron of Pascagoula!

3. Scavenger hunt at maw maws. She had an elaborately decorated house, and you had to search for clues to find your gifts. However, the outcome was always the same, his were always under maw maw's bed.

4. The "little table" for the younger group. This included Joey, Christi, and Jennifer. Basically if you were not married, you had to sit at the little table. One thing he learned about Christi was that she was not a sell-out. She sat there even after she got married.

5. Gumbo. Maw maw cooked gumbo and a ham every year. She still does, and I am happy to become a part of that tradition!

And now for our little elf...
