I pray that everyone had a Christ filled day yesterday! Our household was truly blessed with 3 happy boys and two excited parents. Larry and I love Christmas as much as the boys! We spent the weekend in GA with my parents and family. We had a fantastic time! I've posted some pictures to highlight our weekend.
Susan is very talented in many areas and once again she proved that her name should have been Martha! The grandsons loved having a red nose reindeer cake. Steven and Carson were very pleased to "hunt" up the antlers in the yard.
On Saturday, we all went to a friends cabin in the woods. We had a huge fire, roasted marshmellows, hiked, laughed, a game of capture the flag (in which the ladies WON!!), cooked hot dogs etc... Here is a picture of the boys playing very hard.
This is a beautiful family photo...Ha! We took a hike and sang Christmas songs to the cars that pasted! (We had a few weird looks!) I'm sure that I will get a few comments from those in the picture!
Hopefully you can see we do clean up nicely in this next photo. This was taken on Sunday after Colton Ross Hunt baby dedication. It was a beautiful service!
Here is a photo of the original Scarbrough family...
The grandsons...this picture was fun to capture!
I'll take a side note here on this next picture...I have been concerned about our dear friend Viola. She, like myself, has not been blogging as of late. This has had me and my sisters baffled until we came across her memorial. It was located in the hill of North GA in a cabin way up in the woods. I'm so sorry to say that it appears that she has been laid to rest. I do truly hope that we are mistaken, so if anyone has any information...please let me know!
A few final snapshots...this is my newphew Colton. He is one of the cutest baby's ever!! I know that you will agree. Sorry about him "laying" sideways...he's tired!Ha!
Merry Christmas from our house to yours!! I think Steven is singing my praises for posting this picture! Be sure to check out Peyton's mismatched PJ's! He's a classic! Hope you enjoyed a picture of our holiday season. Oh, I failed to mention that we returned home from GA on Christmas Eve to attend Family Communion at church and enjoyed a fabulous day at our home together! I'll try to share a Christmas miricle on a later post! Thank you to all that sent Christmas greetings... we will try to pray for each one as the cards are put away after the season!

Martha - LOVED the pictures!! What a great family!! I am already looking forward to the Scarbrough Holiday Photo next year!!!!
Yay! Enjoyed your post so much. Isn't family just fantastic? What incredible memories you are all making. Good to see some of my family there too. :)
So sorry to hear about Viola. She will certainly be missed. But what a fitting memorial. Glad you brought it to my attention. ;-)
I have the craziest family and the CUTEST nephews:-D Hehehe!!! Luv you bunches, marty! And miss you already!
Poor Viola...may she rest in peace!!! hahaha!!!
Loved seeing the pics. That is one group of handsome boys. I guess your parents, like mine, finally got some boys.
I pray that it is not true about poor Viola.
You are a hoot...Merry Christmas back to you and loved the pics!
My heart is grieving w/you over this Viola news but perhaps we could exume? that spot and hopefully find "our viola" is not there!!!
Hey girl, thanks for your nice Christmas wish on my blog. I enjoyed getting caught up on your blog and reading all this nice post and really enjoyed seeing the pics of the Scarbrough clan...my family! =) Looks like y'all had a blast being together. As you may know my whole family was together at Daddy and Moma's in IN...but we couldn't be there...talk about HARD...we surely missed being with everyone. Sooo glad that Daddy and Moma are coming to see us here in a few days. =)
Love y'all,
Heather and family! =)
So nice to read this post Martha. Merry Christmas back at ya!...and I loved seeing the pics of all your family. So happy you all could be together.
What a very beautiful family! Thanks for sharing the pictures and the details of your trip.
Many happy new year wishes to you!
Martha,
It was great to see all the pics! I am mad at your sister for not sending me a picture of Colton! But so glad that I got to see him on your blog--he is a cutie! Looks like you guys--pardon, y'all had a lot of fun!
Loved reading about your family Christmas. Did you girls plan the clothes at the Dedication? You all look WONDERFUL!
Praying you a blessed New Year Friend.
So sorry to hear about Viola. Last I heard she was vacationing in Iran. Things must have gone wrong there.
Glad you had a nice time with your family. I've learned to cherish every moment I have with my family. Times are too precious and far between.
So glad to see a new post! Enjoyed the pictures. You look great- love your hair fixed like that.
Don't feel bad about not blogging. I too have gotten way behind. Mine is still decorated with fall mums. If you put yourself on a guilt trip, it won't be enjoyable anymore. Glad to hear from you again though!
Hmmmm...so THAT'S where Viola has been. Maybe it was she in the teeny little speedboat taunting our fair Sailors????
I agree with the others...you look simply marvelous. I'm fighting feelings of bitterness and envy that you get to be one who ages so gracefully and beautifully. Off to have my devotions......
LOVE YOU! :)
So glad to see your updated blog!! Sorry about Viola - I'm sure I would laugh if I knew the story!! :) Sorry we could see you all over the holidays.
Come back, come back wherever you are.......Mysterious Marty.
Hi Martha! Just wanted to say Hi, I don't know if you remember me I'm sure you do. Anyways I just joined the cyber space craze
It was fun to read about you guys.
Happy new year
