Christmas lunch in Yazoo City


































We went to Yazoo City after breakfast.  When we arrived, the children opened their stockings and then we sat down for lunch.  After lunch, we opened presents.  Pop couldn't wait to give Jane Gray her present - a horse!  He gave her a feed bucket and note telling her that he was going to have Donogram, the baby of Stewbaby's horse Bonnie Bell, trained for her.  Jane Gray and Pop teared up; they were so excited!  Pop had cleaned out the barn, set up a horse ring, and had Donogram ready in a horse stall waiting for Jane Gray, so after everyone else had opened their presents, we headed to the barn.  Daddy and Jane Gray rode Donogram, and she and they did so well!  Charlie and Meg also got to ride her.  When it started to get dark, we headed back to the house for a silly string war, playing with Christmas toys, and warming up by the fire.  Daddy then gave us a fireworks show before we went home exhausted but very happy.
