Matthews Birthday

Of course Matthews Birthday involved trains! We went up to Spencer, NC to the Transportation Museum and to a hobby store right beside the museum. It was heaven to him!

I got a little nap in on the train ride, but it was too short:)

Can't believe he is 10!

Weekend Guest

One of the little girls from my class joined us for the weekend and we really enjoyed her being with us.

So sad when she had to leave:(

Abby loved having company too!

Junior Honor Society

Elizabeth was asked to join the Junior Honor Society, this is a real priviledge as you have to maintain an overall A average! Of course she has!

They had a reception after the ceremony and we enjoyed a little sweet treat and some punch.

January 2012

Well it is 2012 and I am way behind posting or doing anything other than work and laundry:)

This is the beautiful gift Darlene made me for Christmas, I meant to send this pic to her but haven't done that either. Love it in the dinning room, it matches everything perfectly.

My niece Emily turned 9 in January and the kids went horseback riding. She loves to do that and the rest of them are happy to go along as well:)

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Merry Christmas

Well, Christmas Eve the kids put the cookies and milk out and Matthew even threw out some oats for the reindeer:) Where does the time go??

Yeah Christmas morning and it was after 6am:)

Abby got a turkey dinner platter set of toys, which she has all but destroyed now!

IPad:)

Trains and more trains:)

Mimi and Pappy's for more!!

The dogs were waiting for their treat too!

My Mom made this cake from a Southern Living recipe that was in the December issue
this year! It was delicious!!!

Bring on the Presents

We got together with Joe and Grace so the kids could do their gift swap, and of course they enjoyed their time together even more than the gifts!

I finally made it to Bush n Vine to get fresh strawberries. We even saw them in the fields picking when we picked these up. I love the Fall berries better than the summer ones:)

Of course we had to dip some of them in chocolate, yummmm!

We did Christmas with Katie and Emily at Mimi's and Pappy's early. Glad we got to be with them even if it wasn't on Christmas day:) Love you girls!!

I hadn't had a picture taken of Elizabeth since she turned twelve so I decided when we did our Christmas card pic I would take some of her too. A couple of years back the photographer who took all the pics of the kids passed away and although I went to someone I like since it just hasn't been the same, so I just don't seem to get it together like I should. I guess I thought he would just be there until my kids were done letting me get their pictures taken:( I can't believe Elizabeth is twelve! Wow! We also got a few interesting photos out of our Christmas card attempts. Pretty good I think considering we had to use a tripod!
