Well, I went to my special Christmas party family reunion dinner tonight.

It was Carson's family (Carson is my girlfriend). Every year they have a Christmas reunion party. They do it every year around Christmas time. I went to that family reunion for the past two years. Went again this year, except I brought along my parents. All three of us were invited this year. Once again, it was held at Mike Here are some pictures of what happened. Here are some pictures of that night.

Here is a photo of Mike and Gretchen (his wife) getting dinner ready. They had cheese ravioli, salad, Italian sausage with peppers, and garlic bread. It was all DELICIOUS! Just smelling it made me hungry. 

In this photo everybody is getting ready for dinner. You can see Carson in the background (with her back turned) getting dinner preparations set. She is wearing a plaid flannel. We all enjoyed our meal. Mike and Gretchen are good cooks. 

After the meal some of us decided to watch TV. There There was a college Basketball game on ESPN between the Kentucky Wildcats and our UNC Tar Heels. Kentucky is ranked highly in the NCAA. However, Carson and I still kept our faith in the Heels. We knew this will be a tough game for UNC. Carson is of course watching the game as well. She and I are both HUGE UNC fans. On the far left is her Uncle Manny, April is on the lef,t and her Cousin Heather is on the right. Carson herself is on the far right. 

Here are my parents having a conversation with Carson's family. I spent the time watching the game with Carson. We were both hoping the best for UNC. We really wanted to see the game. 

Here is Mike and Gretchen's pet dog Dean. He is a purebred English Bulldog. 

There were some people who were leaving at about 6:00. However, I wanted to see more of the game. I have to admit that game really kept me in suspense. 

After the game I managed to get a photo of most the remaining people who decided to see the end of the game. And yes, we were all happy about the result. UNC WON. Final score 82-77. GO TAR HEELS!! Here are the people from left to right.
Back: Cravon (Carson's Dad), Mary (Carson's Mom), Mike (Carson's brother), Carson, Cynthia (my Mom), and Mike (my Dad, he is also named Mike).
Front: McKenzie (Mike and Gretchen's oldest daughter) and Harrison (Mike and Gretchen's son).

And here is a photo of myself. So, happy to see us all win. I wish them all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I was also happy that UNC won their game, but it was indeed a battle. Just happy the Heels came up on top in the end.
