Once again it was Christmas vacation and Glen and Jennifer Alford Walker made their annual visit to Mississippi with their children, Emily, Joseph, and Grace, to spend Christmas with Mack and Sherry Alford at their home in the country.
The Walker children love to visit their grandparents in the country where they have fun exploring the woods and enjoying other activities that are not available in Macon, Ga., where they live. Of course, Mack and Sherry are always delighted to see them and eagerly wait for them to arrive whenever they visit. It was another joyful Christmas!
