We crashed the Brawner family Christmas this year and celebrated with our part of the Brawners... it's all confusing...but the picture below shows the Brawner clan (all related).

These Brawners are related to us...but we aren't related to the rest!

This is Ginger. My lifelong friend who I've known since birth. She is 7 days younger than me and we've been friends since. She's part of the Brawner clan too. We used to try and tell people we were related but we aren't. The story is: My dad's sister married her mom's brother. Read that over and over again and you'll finally get it! So... we share an aunt, uncle & cousins.

The girls and their spouses

We tried to get a family picture too.... One kid not looking

Same kid not looking... one kid looking goofy

Two kids finally looking.... and one kid --- well let's just hope that this isn't something that becomes a habit for her.

The kids were really excited to open their first round of presents.

Then we celebrated with the Wallace side of my family at my parents house. Here is the kids table minus one cousin, Karlyn who is too little to sit with the big kids.

The cousins and their kids.
Kristy: Brooks & Blaise
Lindsay: Brooke, Hudson & Hallie
Kelli: Lance & Karlyn
