From left to right you see (with their moms' names in parentheses for those of you who know all of the Tillis sisters!): Jake (Kristy) - 16 years; Ella (Maria) - 6 years; Erin (Kristy) - 13 years; Samantha (Coleen) - 13 years; Kelli (Kristy) - 8 years; Greg (Lori) - 12 years; Amanda (Lori) - 8 years; Tyler (Coleen) - 10 years; Avery (Maria) - 8 years
Another RARE (and hopefully not common) photo is this shot of my mom and dad. Mom had surgery this past fall that resulted in some temporary paralysis in her face. As you can see, there is hardly any remnant of the paralysis anymore. Dad had his second shoulder surgery just last week, thus his immobilized arm. Praise God for lots of answered prayers for their quick and full healing!
Other RARE shots are pictures of the adults in my family. I don't know why we only take pictures of the kids! Here is a picture of my sister, Coleen, and her husband, Jerry (with their new Brita pitcher -- woo hoo!).
And here is a picture of my sister, Lori (and her new purse :)
The last couple of shots are not so RARE, but just so very CUTE! Here is Jake (16 years old) with the ornament he received from Grandma & Grandpa. Jake is a black belt in Krav Maga (sp?), thus the martial arts ornament. Jake is so talented, smart and an all-around nice guy. He was the first Tillis grandchild/nephew and will always be special to each one of us. I am so proud of him (and have lots of embarrassing stories to tell his future wife someday)!
Last but not least, here is a shot of Avery & Amanda (both 8 years old) in their matching American Girl pj's. And of course, matching pj's for their AG dolls too :)
I love all of our photos from the Tillis Christmas celebration but couldn't possibly post them all here. We are looking forward to some more time with our Tillis family over the New Year!
