Christmas in Dixie

Christmas came and went so fast this year! I have a feeling that this will be one of our last "quiet" Christmases, but so much more to look forward to next year! We spent Christmas Eve with my Grandparents, aunt, uncles, and cousins and saw Rudolph running through the field! Too bad John was putting the dog up when it happened and missed all of the action. I am sure that this will be one of many appearances over the next few years. :) We woke up at my parents house Christmas morning to a gentle snow fall at 6:3o a.m. (That was a long as my Momma could wait, and even that was a compromise!) We opened gifts (which include a Vera Bradley diaper bag that beebee will certainly enjoy), drank homemade hot chocolate, and fixed breakfast for the Grandparents while watching the snow. It was a wonderful, white Christmas!!

I think you can still see the bump under all of those clothes!

Daddy got an electric guitar for Christmas. We heard him practice ALL day until I declared quite hours.

The most amazing sugar cookies ever!

Christmas Time's A Comin'

I am completely enjoying the past few snow days that have come our way. Our house is fully decorated for Christmas and I am passing the time by reading, attempting to cook, and relaxing. The winter storm lasted all of Thursday and left us stranded in the house since our road is always the last to be scraped. It was nice to be able to spend a day with just the "three" of us. Sometimes it takes a little snow to slow us down from our fast paced lives and simply enjoy God's creation and the true meaning of Christmas.

Winter wonderland..

Merry Christmas!

On The Road Again.....

We recently visited Robert and Brenda for Thanksgiving and then again for the annual family reunion. We were able to spend some time with the Perzanowski's and even spent some time with the CO Dennis'. We had a wonderful time and ate WAY to much thanks to Brenda's wonderful cooking.

Cookie anyone?

I know why Peter wanted a boy cousin.

So he could share some of the "wrestle time" with someone else.

Hooter, the one eyed Easter Screech Owl, was being tended to by Dr. Dennis.

He was released in the barn by a few onlookers.

Lucy loves her Grandma Brenda.

and Copper too...

We had a great time and can't wait to see you all again!
