Merry Christmas From The Payne Clan And See You Next Week!

Posted on December 24, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Christmas at the Payne house! Some of the kids came in last night and the rest are coming today! yay!

We are so thankful for our family and that we get to see them every Christmas!

As usual, Jessica photographed everyone and designed my Christmas card. I know it seems weird that I don't stamp my Christmas card, but I DO send out hand-stamped ones to stamping friends and customers. ( I just put them in the mail on Tuesday!) We tried to take a group photo in October, but one of us was sick on the day we planned, so we went with a "Brady Bunch" layout like we did a few years ago before Jaxon was born:

Top left to bottom right: Cody, Kimberly, Me, Johnny, Logan (who is MUCH more handsome without the "crazy face" they told him to make!), Darcy, Troy, Jaxon, Ava, Liam, Maddie Kate, Tony, Ben, Oakley, Jessica, Mark, Alisa, Cohen, and Lando!

The girls did manage to get all the grandkids together for the Christmas cookie picture on the back of the card:

Maddie Kate, Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon belong to Jessica & Johnny.

Liam and Darcy belong to Kimberly & Tony.

Oakley & Lando belong to Alisa & Cody.

We give thanks to the Lord, for "our cup runneth over" with blessings!

Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 25, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Merry Christmas! We have been having a blast at our house since Christmas Eve eve when everyone arrived to spend the next three nights! It's already Christmas, but I wanted to share with you a Christmas tradition that has been growing at our house for several years:

It's our family, created in miniature with Sculpey Clay, by my daughter Alisa! She started creating these teeny-tiny little Payne Clan snowpeople several years ago, adding more little ones as our family grows.

She started with Mark & I:

Then Jessica, Johnny, Maddie Kate, Ava, Cohen, and Jaxon:

Kimberly, Tony, and Liam:

(I have absolutely NO IDEA how their picture ended up so tiny, sorry!)

Troy, Logan, and Ben:

and finally, Alisa, Cody, and Oakley:

None of these are much more than an inch tall, so they are all little masterpieces! Alisa carefully packs them away in a paper egg carton each year so they don't get lost or mangled.

As time goes on and the boys get married, she will make little snowwomen for their wives and more little snowbabies.

I love when they come out each year and miss them when they go away.

Well, the gifts are all under the tree and the stockings are filled, so I'd better head to bed too.

Have a Merry Christmas. Hope your day Stampingrox!
