Christmas afternoon in Russellville

We decided since the whole Van Es Clan 48 and one on the way was meeting up in Russellville on Christmas Day ( except - Bryan and Katie and their kids, Todd and Jennie and their kids, Kelley and Gran ( Gran's never been to Russellville) and Drew and Natalie.....we thought it would be a great Christmas to go down and visit with everyone. We road with my parents. Christmas was a little different this year, my grandma was in the hospital. So, we headed straight to the hospital to visit with her. About a week before Christmas my grandma tripped on a clothing rack at her church, and fell. The fall we thought at first, only hurt her knee. The doctor told her she needed surgery. Well - the surgery was scheduled for that Thursday ( I believe) before Christmas. Well - while on the table when they were checking out the surgery on her knee they heard a pop/crack. Upon further inspection, they realized she had broken her femer!!! That meant more surgery and an extremely lot longer recovery time. We visited her on Christmas the same day she was moved from Hospital to hospital rehabilitation. She did physical therapy about 4 times a day for a while, and finally got out on the day before the Cotton Bowl. She is now at home - Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers - but of course still has a lot of recovery to do. ...... But to continue....after the hospital visit we went to my uncle Wen and Aunt Katy's to celebrate Christmas. It was fun getting to see all of the extended family. Presents, food, fellowship, games, and of course, cards. Fun had by all! After Wen and Katy's we headed to the Humphry's to visit. It was great getting to see Chanda and Clay who I do not get to see that often. Of course Alex had to nurse, than had a complete blow out.....but we still got some visiting in and than headed up the mountain back home. I took a few pictures at Wen and Katy's...
