At Uncle Jeff's house

Our Christmases are getting more fun each year, now that we have the kids. Audrey had a blast opening up all her presents everywhere we visited. She was so excited that Santa brought her a new blue bicycle. We visited several places-Papaw and GiGi's, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Rosemary's, Nana's, and Mamaw and Papaw's-over the holiday week. Audrey was amazed that Santa ate all the cookies and milk we left out for him. I cannot wait until next year when she and Jack will be older and more into it than even this year. It has been so nice having Tony home with us. He doesn't go back until the 7th, I think. I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Playing Along

I really wasn't tagged, but saw this on my friend Heather's blog and thought it would be fun to play along.

Play the picture game. The rules are:

*Find the 6th picture in your 6th folder.

*Pray that you remember what it is about.

*Blog about it.

*Tag others to do the same.

This picture was taken in October at the Pumpkin Patch. Jack was looking at the fuzzy chickens, and I think he isn't so sure about them. There was a rooster running around too that kept making noise, so I think he was a little leary of them.

Christmas has Already Started

Here's Audrey opening her first gift of the year

Audrey (opening her Play-doh that she LOVES), Jack, and Megan

Last Saturday we went to my friend Susan's house to exchange gifts. Susan, Angela, Cameron, Sheila, and I have been friends since we all worked together 10 years ago at the Fazoli's Corporate Office. Somehow, we have kept in touch and try to get together at least once a month. Susan has us over to her house at Christmas and the kids join us for some fun. Saturday evening we went to my sister-in-law's parents' house for their annual Christmas Party. It was a good time. Monday, my friend Heather and her daughter Megan visited us so the kids could play and exchange gifts. Christmas has already begun......

Holiday Pictures

(my arm was cropped out)

(didn't order this one but thought it was cute of them)

Here are some pictures we had made today. Jack wouldn't be still so we really only got one good shot of the both of them together. Audrey was so good and acted like a little lady. Audrey's face was chapped some, but I think they turned out okay. Be looking in the mail for your pictures! I took them to the post office tonight on the way to the parade.

Happy Thanksgiving

Audrey and cousin Lyndsey

Getting ready to go to Nana's

We had a nice Thanksgiving. Thursday we ate at Mom's and Friday we ate at Tony's parents'. It was such a relaxing time. We didn't have to go outside of Mt. Sterling, so that made it easier. I hate that we didn't get to spend any time with Dad's side of the family, but they were having dinner the same time as Tony's mom, so we couldn't. I am so thankful for all of my family and friends. What would I do without them?
