Hey Friends,
This is Odie checking in for the final Saturday post of 2024. I hope you are doing well.
We are hanging in there. This week has had good and really rough days for us. Your prayers continue to be felt and appreciated!
I am working to compile my Morgan and Boggs Christmas photos into blog format. Today, I will share Thursday night's grandchildren's gathering.
Our branch of the Boggs Family tree consists of Eugene and Martha Boggs, our Mamaw and Papaw. They have four children: Steve, Davy, Theresa and Tommy. Seven grandchildren joined the family over seventeen years, 1985-2003: Andrea “Odie,” Deidre, Victor, Isaac, Lauren, Jonas and Lucas. In 2024, three grandchildren have married: Deidre and Ben Shoemaker, Victor and Emily Boggs and Jonas and Kylee Boggs.
Our Mamaw and Papaw are now Nana and Papa great to six great grandchildren. The great grandchildren age range is six years to six months JoJo 6, Charlie, 5 Chloe 3, Arlo 2, Theo 1 and Carson 6 months.
The Seven of us grandchildren are spread out. We now live in Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama and North Carolina. Actually getting of our family in one location at the same time is a rarity, these days. Usually it is a quick family gathering and that is it.
The seven grands decided we needed a visit with our Mamaw and Papaw at their house. Plans for a surprise started weeks ago. The date was set for December 26th. It was the seven grandchildren and three spouses. Thanks you, Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen, for watching all six of your grandchildren while we had Mamaw and Papaw time to ourselves!
Thursday my Aunt Theresa helped make sure Mamaw and Papaw were home. The stage was set for the ten of us to arrive in five sets. Victor and Emily showed up last with pizzas.
We had a great time eating, laughing and reminiscing! We were all telling stories! Lauren and I brought games to play, but we never got that far. The family time was precious!
The fun in action
Thank God we were able to make this surprise work. I think we all needed the special time with Mamaw and Papaw!
A group picture to commemorate the night was a must on our agenda. Below is a snapshot of this Kodak moment.
Time flew by while we were having fun. Soon we had to head our separate ways. I love my cousins and grandparents! We are blessed with a tremendously close family!Thanks for stopping to visit with me today. See you next time. Odie
