Christmas in Port Gibson











This year we celebrated Christmas in Port Gibson! Austin, Beau and I arrived on Monday to clean and decorate. Austin was very handy and turned a chifferobe in the billiards room into an awesome bar! Ashton and Kudzu arrived on Tuesday. We drove to Vicksburg to get groceries and Austin and Ashton decided they needed "live" trees in their rooms. The trees were eleven dollars each, the decorations were another 30 dollars, the experience was PRICELESS! Watching them pick out the stuff and then making tree stands and decorating them was such a joy to watch! Mark and Lulu arrived Wednesday afternoon soon followed by his parents, Mimi and PawPaw. We had a very memorable Christmas together in Port Gibson....

Christmas with the Fulmer Family






On the weekend before Christmas we celebrated with Nana, Tom, Wes, Debbie, Reid, Tyler, Ellen and Maw Maw. We had our traditional Gumbo, Yum Yum, played twister, Bingo ( with prizes ) and drove around looking for Christmas lights! We also visited a live nativity at Christ Methodist Church.

Madrigal Dinner





Ashton's third Madrigal Dinner was Wonderful! MiMi, PawPaw, Nana, Tom, Austin, Ellen, Mark and I were all at the final performance of the evening. Ashton was seated front row and center this year since she's a Senior ( boohoo!!) The ad the put in the program this year had a picture of Ashton with her new dog Kudzu...we think he looks a little medieval!
