(It is Wednesday, isn't it??? LOL)
Our dreams finally came true this Christmas! We had a white Georgia Christmas! Almost unheard of down here in the south (actually the first one in over 100 years). It was most exciting for us. Even though it was just a few inches...it was beautiful. It snowed all day on Christmas day!!!

And a bonus pic for you! Keith and I went out on a date with Greg and Jackie while Nanny (Keith's mom) stayed at our house with the kids. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Jackie and Greg live in an extremely hilly neighborhood so we were afraid to pick them up at their house due to ice. So they had to trek through the woods to the street behind their house to catch a ride!

This picture of a 6 year old Drew makes me chuckle. Someone at his school had a snowman suit and dressed him up in it. Adorable little snowman, isn't he???
Happy 6th birthday to my sweet little GREAT niece (I know...you didn't know I was old enough to be a GREAT anything...did you???). We celebrated her birthday tonight at Chuck E Cheese for he second year in a row......(thanks, Jess....let's do it again there next year...LOVE that place....NOT)
At 21 months, Addi is talking up a storm. She just amazes me every day with the things she says and knows. She cracks me up too. One night a few weeks ago, she had the whole family laughing like crazy. Keith's mom (Nanny) had sent Drew and Addi a Halloween card with some money in it. Of course, it was burning a hole in Drew's pocket so we headed out to Walmart. Keith and I picked out 3 things that might interest Addi....a baby doll, a little pony and a barbie. We held them all in front of her to pick and she went straight for the baby.
She grabbed it and didn't let go the entire time we were in the store. However, when we got up to the register for some reason, she threw the baby down. Keith picked it up and handed it back to her and she threw it down again. So he told her that she wasn't getting it and he gave it to the cashier. Didn't faze Addison in the least and nothing else was said about the baby.
We headed out to the car. Loaded the bags, strapped Addi in and all got in the car. All of a sudden as we were driving away...a little voice came from the back seat that said "Bye, baby!!". We died laughing!!!
Well, if I could add another day of thankfulness ....I would add that I am thankful to be alive. OMG! I have been soooooo sick for 2 days. It hit me at about noon on Thanksgiving day right before I started making the dressing. I had to lay down and I barely got up again until today (it's Saturday, I think). I had to give Keith step by step directions on how to cook everything (and he did quite well, I might add). I did go to Jackie's but slept almost the entire time (see pic above). Oh....and the worst of it all......I MISSED BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! Not only did I miss the shopping part but I missed the entire day. It was awful. Thank goodness Taylor stepped in and went with Jackie....but I told her not to get too cozy with the idea because next year...I will be back!! I am almost better but not completely yet!!! UUUGGGHHHH!
