Christmas 2012

Words to describe this Christmas: Busy, FULL, special, fun-filled, memorable, yummy, tiring,and worth every second of preparation, planning, and loss of sleep!! We had Mary Blake's Christmas program, everybody's school parties, a trip to Jackson to see JJ and Pops, 3 day visit in Tupelo with Andy, lunch a Granma's, James' first birthday party, Christmas brunch in Batesville, and a 4 day stay in Batesville eating, laughing, and worrying about NOTHING. As much as I loved it all, it felt great to come home and put away Christmas decor....now I am knee-deep in changing everything...you know how it is, nothing looks right after you take away the decor, so you end up changing everything!

Love this smile

Thanksgiving Feast at Calvary

Wren at the feast. Doesn't he look happy to be there?

This is not a pilgrim hat. It is a cowboy hat. He was quite insistent about this. Also, the bandaid was just there for fun. We go through some band-aids at our house.

Wren finally got to join in on the action.

Sweet Granma. I really didn't think she was gonna feel well enough to cook her dressing this year. BUT she did, AND it was fabulous!!!

THE BEST DRESSING EVER!!!

After Granma's we headed to the Lakehouse. Wonderful weather, lots of laughs, no sleep, and tons of fun!

I was trying hard to get collins not to do a posed smile

The annual Gingerbread house!
