The Oyster Roast Post

What a great oyster roast it was! We had about 30 people and it may very well have been our best, most fun roast yet!

I think I"ll let some of the pictures do the talking...most of it anyway!

Gorgeous fresh shrimp that was delicious in the low-country boil!

Deanie and NickleAss (there's a story behind his nickname that I'll share soon)

First round of oysters

NickleAss and BestSonInLawEVER shucking oysters

Round two---
Round 3...you get the idea!

A Christmas kiss!

Breezy and her Christmas gift from BestSonInLawEVER!

My family might be a bit on the crazy side...

Ok, they ARE a little bit crazy!

The boys- NickleAss, Evwardo, and BestSonInLawEVER

Mr Brian entertaining the masses...as usual!

Chatting around the table...and eating!

That's DoodleBug in the middle, her BFF from high school and roommate, Hannah and Hannah's BF, Benjamin! (You've seen them in Wednesday night dinner pix)

It's so much fun to chat around the table...

And there was playin' and singin'- Hubs and Breezy.

My Sweetie.

More singin' and playin'...

All of the boys are talented too- here's NickleAss with the dobro that Hubs made YEARS ago (yes, he made it from a tree trunk- Hubs is a luthier by trade)

Still singin' and playin'

It was, simply put, fantastic!

And, best of all? The nest is NOT empty for the holidays! I am one happy mom!

Coming soon- Christmas fun on the beach!

  7. Hi Pam. I can just feel how excited you are to have everyone home with you again! Lovely happy photos of lovely family times. We 've never heard of oyster roasts over here in England, but I have come to realize that it's quite a big thing over there in America!

  8. Sounds like all went super well. It looked like it too. I love that you sing together. Something we don´t do, because no one can hold a note... :)
    Your girls are beautiful and I can see how much they love being home.
    Have a great time with them!!

  9. Judy- We did have a total blast! It's just great having them home! Thanks!

    Barb- It was BIG fun and would have been even better if y'all had been able to come!

    Michele- It has always been that way around here. I hope it never changes! Which boy is your fave?

    Kathy- They are such fun! You'll have to come to one of ours!

    Stephanie- It was fantastic! And noisy is exactly what it is around here right now! LOL

    Diane- It's just the best! Oyster roasts are well known in the coastal areas- at least in the south. Not sure about the north- I think they have clam bakes or something. LOL

    Betty- So good to hear from you. That means that the wind hasn't carried your skinny self off! I'll have to start calling you 'Slim'! We can't hold a note either- during one song everyone was singing the wrong note-it was awful, yet funny. LOL
