NEW YEARS EVE




No big plans for tonight. We were all going to hang out and play games and watch Space Chimps till Midnight but Syd is complaining of an ear ache and it is hurting her a lot. So she is medicated, heat pad, and sleeping in momma's bed. Gabby is watching Space Chimps and I am having my yearly drink a nice glass of wine. Hope everyone is having a wonderful new years eve. Stay safe.

Christmas was wonderful. The girls had a great time. I have not downloaded the photos yet. It has been a bit crazy the last few days. The girls are having fun playing with all their new toys and stuff. They really like their bean bags they got. Syd and Gab both enjoy sitting in them to read or watch tv. Photos will follow shortly I have not downloaded them yet.

We spent Christmas Eve here with Eric. It was nice we made dinner and the girls opened one gift. Eric and I went to Kmart after and picked up a few minor things we forgot like a mini digital wrist camera for Sydney. We were a bit uneven on the gifts when we wrapped them after the girls went to bed.

On Christmas morning we had a blast the girls were thrilled and got me up at 5 am and Syd got G up at 730ish I tried to let her sleep but you can only keep kids at bay so long. We all went to David's house after 12 and got to see G's family.

I took Erelene back to SC on the 26th and as G says I am very very lucky. She says my dad was watching out for me. I guess so. I have been on some medicine and it was apparently still in my system. On the way home I hit an 18 wheeler. I apparently was unaware and drifted out of my lane and I was able to compensate after my side view mirror broke off. The 18 wheeler had no clue and did not stop I pulled over and noticed where the tires to the truck had been against the cars front fender, the side view mirror was broken, the door handle is scraped and a little dented. But I only got some whip lash, my shoulders and neck are a bit sore but other than that I am lucky if my front had gone any further under the truck I would not be writing tonight.

I will attach the kids photos soon. Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Big Week for the Kids

What a week for the girls. Sunday they had their church play. Sydney was Mrs. McCleary the servant girl with a few lines and Gabby was a church member with a lot of singing to do. It was a great success. This year we had our play at night 5 pm and it was great. After the play I took the youth group and my girls to Stone Mountain for the Christmas display they had a blast.

Monday night Gabby had her first trip to Fantasy in Lights at Calloway Gardens. We all froze but it was fun. The girls had two jackets on each and two hats so they did not completly freeze. Check out the photos below.

Tonight, Tuesday is Santa and a Movie at Church. Put on by the youth group. They have some time with Santa and than we will be watching Polar Express.

And of course Christmas Eve we will be going to get Aunt Erlene and than having dinner here at the house with Eric. He will be spending Christmas with us this year. Keep him in your prayers this is his first Christmas with out his mother.

We hope that everyone has a very, very, very wonderful holiday seasons. Remember we are blessed with a lot that we sometimes overlook.

I did not take many photos since it was really cold. Kept my hands in my jacket


But the girls liked the teddy bear

Gabby had a wonderful time as you can seeThe three __________________(you can fill in the blank)Aiden sat with Suzie and Roy in front of these not so quiet and excited children

They met Frosty while at the lights


They got to sit on a bench with G inside a warm tent

We are waiting to see Santa.... He was cool.

Gabby was a church member in the play. She sang the hymns with the rest of the people and did great

Sydney was Mrs. Mc Cleary in the Church Christmas Play. She was the servant to the old man who stole everything from the Church Christmas Eve. She did a good job on her lines.
