A Post for Grandma Jane

Aunt Jane,
Today we watched your grandkids while all the parents went out for dinner. We had a blast...what a crazy bunch! They are getting so big and I'm sure you miss them tons, so I made a little video so you could hear their voices along with the pictures. The girls are really enjoying the "Baby Alive" that you got Mea for Christmas. I love to watch them be little mommies!
We miss and love you tons!

"...and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.."

The Trip to Georgia



Mel and I decided to do makeovers in the car, just to pass the time of course!

We made it to the Bauers' House! Home away from home!
The Moms say Hello
The Dads





On Sunday night we went Bowling



Caleb...we split our guts laughing that night at his impersonations! If you know Keek you know ;)
At the Anderson's on Christmas eve. The Boys always find something creative to do with the kids' toys!





Keek with more entertainment... "I went to T Dee Dee"

We won't be "home for Christmas"...

...because we are heading to Atlanta tomorrow morning, but we still decorated!





This past Monday we had our FASTSIGNS Christmas Party. Mom worked so hard on all the delicious food! The party was pretty much a family gathering :)

Cute Couple!

Jap and Mel

They love their Boss...he is the best boss in the world!

Andy and Dad

Joey and Clay

The Bones came over later to hang out!
What studs...Wahoo!

ATL folks don't be worried...we didn't eat all the goodies at the party. Mom and I made some more to bring so we're all stocked up. Billie the sugar cookies are on the way :) We can't wait to see all of our family in Atlanta! We are also excited to get to go down with the Dowling Family, Charity and Beau and Debra too. Merry Christmas to everyone in VA. We will be back soon!

Catch Up...Singles' Christmas Banquet and more

MyNewCar...well...temporarily. A guy from church was so kind to allow me to use his car while he is out to sea. It has been such a blessing since I don't have a car right now... and it just happens to be a BMW Z4!









Here are some pictures from a birthday party Mel went to for Rachael.


And Josiah has been busy with b-ball

Happy Birthday Melissa!

I couldn't ask for a better sister. I am so grateful to God for you! I will always be thankful for having my best friend with me all the time, for the way you make me laugh, for the joy that you beam with every day, and for the example you set of a young woman who trusts in the Lord. This past year I have really seen your faith become your own. You take your quiettimes very seriously and long to talk about what the Lord is doing in you life. Your contentment in him and trust in him for the future have been such a testimony to me. And thanks for being Mommy WarBucks to me, the poor college student!
You have been extremely generous to me in "lending" me money. Also, you have done such a good job of adjusting to a full time job. You are so good at being a secretary. Thank you for working so hard for our pastors! My favorite times with you are definitely before we go to sleep at night, when we end up talking to late, or get too giddy! Forgive me for all the times I didn't want you to copy me. Now, I count it as an honor!
Mel...thank you for bearing all of our teasing...it's only to show how much we love you :) I love you so much Mel and couldn't ask for a more precious, dear, beautiful, loving, joyful Sis! Happy 19th Birthday!
Here's a sign Josiah and I made late last night after we finished our home work...did I say finished? Anyway, we had a blast doing it with crayons and markers that didn't work very well!
