See you next year!

Myspace Graphics



Since Addi is sick with RSV and 2 ear infections, we are spending our New Year's Eve at home (probably would be anyway, but that sounded like a good excuse). We rented a movie through Redbox (do you guys know about Redbox??? I will give details on my next FF, which will be next Friday), have cookies, milk and some Reese's Peanut Butter Trees that I found for 50% off and we are just hanging out in our jammies. They probably won't even make it to midnight....I will of course!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. See you next year!

The Twelve Days of Christmas!

Someone asked, so I obliged. Here are all of the Twelve Days of Christmas in one post! This would be fun for a teacher, neighbor, secret santa or anyone else whose day you would like to brighten!!

The 1st day of Christmas is an ornamnet! It's the FIRST day of Christmas.
Here's something for your tree.
To let you know you're thought of
With love from our Family!

The 2nd day of Christmas is a candle.

It’s the SECOND day of Christmas.
Here’s a little light to shine.
To brighten and remind us that
You are so divine!



The 3rd day of Christmas is a bottle of Sprite!

It’s the THIRD day of Christmas.
And we wish you much delight
In this season full of fun.
May your days be merry and “SPRITE”


The 4th day of Christmas is a book. (normally, I would send a book that is age appropriate for the class but Drew's teacher just found out she is expecting so I thought she would enjoy these little board books). It’s the FOURTH day of Christmas.
We hope you are doing well.
Here’s one of our favorite stories
That sure is nice to tell!


The 5th day of Christmas is chocolate!
It’s the FIFTH day of Christmas.
And here is something sweet.
There’s nothing like a little chocolate
To make the day complete!


The 6th day of Christmas is a movie and popcorn. (I usually snag a $3 at Target's Black Friday sale for this)

It’s the SIXTH day of Christmas.
And it’s time to get some rest.
Here’s a movie and some popcorn.
We think you’re simply the best!


The 7th day of Christmas is a gane. (This is a hard one and I might try to change it. But I did find this little trivia game for $1 at Walmart. I thought she could use it with the kids or her own family Christmas)
It’s the SEVENTH day of Christmas.
And we sure are having fun.
Here’s a game for you to play.
We hope it’s fun for everyone!

The 8th day of Christmas is a dish towel.

It’s the EIGHTH day of Christmas.
A towel we give to you!
To dry a Christmas dish or plate.
And remind you that you’re great!



The 9th day of Christmas is a can of nuts!It’s the NINTH day of Christmas.
We say thanks for all you do.
We want to let you know,
That we are “NUTS” for you!



The 10th day of Christmas is a mug and hot chocolate!

It’s the TENTH day of Christmas.
Here’s something nice and hot.
To warm you up and let you know,
That you are loved a lot!

The 11th day of Christmas is Hershey Kisses!
It’s the ELEVENTH day of Christmas.
We’re dropping off some kisses.
We want to send our love to you….
And warmest Christmas wishes!



The 12th day of Christmas is warm socks!
It’s the TWELFTH day of Christmas.
Here’s something for your toes.
Just relax and snuggle up.
You’re the best…everyone knows!

Have You been Jingled?

We have!!! This is the cutest thing! Just go to this website and print out 2 copies of the poem and the elf. Make up 2 goody bags and then go "jingle" your friends and neighbors. Drew had so much fun knocking on doors and running.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Another busy week! It started on Wednesday with free carriage rides and Santa pics at the Avenue.

As you can see.....Addi's feelings about Santa have not changed!

Thursday night was our Bunco Christmas party! I have been playing bunco with these girls for many years! We always go out to dinner for Christmas!

I love my gift from Amy! Can't wait to use him!

On Friday, Drew and I were off to Cartersville to see "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever". It was a cute, cute play! Here we are making our "grand entrance".


Drew performed perfectly as Randy Richards, Speller Number 11 in "The Christmas County Spelling Bee" at our church! It was sooo cute!!

We celebrated 2 birthdays on Saturday! Shannon turned 22........

......and Miss Bailey turned 5!

We went to my mom's cemetery, Saturday night. They usually have a beautiful service and light luminaries throughout, but it was cold and RAINING so it was canceled. Our family went anyway and decorated with some new Christmas flowers.


My baby is now 9 months old! Time is going too fast!
What a busy weekend! We have one more weekend before Christmas and it will be packed as well! Fun stuff!
