All Dressed Up

Since we were all together and all dressed up, we thought it would be appropriate to get some family photos!

River Trip, 2009

Top ten lessons Davis and Stephen learned on the river trip:
10. Never put your air mattress on top of a root.
9. Eat plenty of breakfast because there is no lunch.
8. Bring a tent you can stand in.
7. King-sized cots are the way to go.
6. Never leave home without Oreos and milk.
5. Squirrel tastes pretty good, especially the back legs.
4. Paddle faster! I hear banjos!
3. A vodka bottle doesn't stand a chance on the Altamaha.
2. Urine cups make darn good juice glasses.
1. Wash the grits pot as soon as possible.

Boxing Day, 2008

The day after Christmas is always a big day in the Remler family. We go to JoJo's house where we roast oysters, play games, burn a bonfire and eat more food than we ought to. But we all look forward to sundown, when we can burn the Christmas tree. This year, Davis was the fire marshal. Brett and Lawson were the washers champs.

Christmas 2008

The Remlers celebrated a relaxing Christmas this year. We stayed home all day and cooked pork on the grill while Davis and Lawson enjoyed opening and playing with their gifts. Davis sailed his remote-control sailboat on the lagoon at the golf club while Lawson hosted his own bb gun shot-a-palooza in the back yard. Also included in the festivities was a tournament of ladder golf.

Sisters' Luncheon 2008

Nancy Peterson hosted a lovely luncheon for the Lawson sisters, sister in-law, daughters and grand-daughters. We had a fun time catching up with aunts and cousins, touring Letty & Tom's home, playing Christmas games and lunching on delicious food. How gracious of Nancy to bring us all together this way during the holiday season.

Thanksgiving, 2008

What didn't we eat during the Thanksgiving holiday? After consuming fried turkey, smoked turkey, Boston butt, lasagna, ambrosia, lemon blossoms, hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, and lots and lots of slaw, we were thankful that nobody starved to death. But the food was only part of the festivities. A cozy camp fire, fish-a-palooza, another camp fire, moving the syrup bowl, riding the Polaris Ranger, another camp fire, shoot-a-palooza, a trip to Unadilla, and an even bigger camp fire--we got all the goodie out of this Thanksgiving. Can't wait 'til next year!
