Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas, 2011!!

We had a great holiday with all of our family. The Christmas season snuck upon us and flew by, as always.

We are so thankful for our many blessings, especially our health and family.

Birthday Boy

Happy 4th Birthday, Edmond!!!!

I can't believe my little man is 4 years old! He is growing so fast and there are many days he's 4 going on 14!!! No matter what he'll always be my little boy. We celebrated over the weekend with a party at the park. We had a great time even though many were unable to attend. Oh well,,,,,4-year-olds aren't worried about how many are there! ;)

Edmond got to choose the restaurant for his birthday lunch and he chose Longhorn Steakhouse! They just opened about a month ago and they're right next door to Red Lobster, which opened on his actual birthday. I couldn't convince him to let me treat him to Red Lobster, he's been talking about a steak for 3 weeks. He also got to choose a dessert!!!

Momma likes his choice for a dessert!!!

Pumpkin Patch

We just got back from a visit w/ The Mulhearn's. On Friday we took the boys and twins (Su's kiddos) to the Pumpkin Patch in Mayflower. We had so much fun. I was especially excited because the nearest patch to Jonesboro is an hour away. Going to the PP w/ Edmond and Setler had become a tradition for Susan and me, so it was nice to go again. The boys each picked out a pumpkin to remember the trip. Susan took some great pics for me, below.....

Back to the Blogging World....

I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last post! How awful!! Our home computer crashed, which was a major setback and I discovered Facebook. It's so easy to automatically post pictures on FB from virtually anywhere but I have missed blogging and have had a few complaints regarding my laziness. So, I'm back at least for now. I can't promise that I will be as diligent as I once was when I first blogged but I will do my best. Enjoy.....

More Christmas

"Twas the Night Before Christmas"

It was a tradition on Christmas Eve that my dad would read this book to us kids. We started our own tradition this year with Edmond; he really enjoyed the story! Here's to more family traditions!!

Mom and Dad had a few friends over before Christmas to share some spirits and snacks. They wanted to see Jonathan too, since he lives overseas. We had a good time visiting and of course, eating! That's what I enjoy most about Christmas; being together with close friends and family!!
