Merry Christmas Again! (2nd Christmas Get Together)

Happenings on Sunday - December 26, 2010.  We went to worship services Sunday morning and then headed to Papa & Granny's house afterwards. We stopped @ Little Caesars Pizza on the way there for some pizza & yummy crazy bread. It had seriously been a long time since we had ordered pizza from there. By the time Chuckie and I arrived Colby, Sarah & Brandon were already there and they were hungry! We all sat at the table together and enjoyed lunch.
Colby, Sarah & Brandon got their present.....Papa & Granny gave Colby truck mats for his Dodge, they gave Sarah a pretty pair of sterling silver earrings & a Gator blanket & they gave Brandon diamond plate side rails for the back of his truck. We had agreed with Papa and Granny not to get one another anything for Christmas but they surprised us and got us a $25.00 gift card to Outback and one to Red Lobster!
We enjoyed a nice afternoon spending time with family. :) Here's a few pics:

Colby & Sarah...They make the cutest couple!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I wrote the below post on December 25, 2010, Saturday:

Merry Christmas!!

It’s 6:45pm here in Florida. It’s raining and going to turn cooler! High of 53 degrees tomorrow. Monday night it will be low in the 20’s!! Pretty cold for here in Florida! :) :) I’m LoViNg it!

We had a wonderful Christmas Day @ my sister and brother in laws house (Karen & Jay). They have a 9 month old little boy, Kason. He was so much fun to be around. At one point after lunch, my Mom, Dad, Sister, Kason & I went to his bedroom and just sat around & watched him play. Just fun simple times but what nice memories!!!

Colby brought Sarah over and she was a joy to be around. Her and Colby knew I was “making” them something but they didn’t know what. I created them a scrapbook with their engagement pictures!! I had been working on it for several weeks. I loved creating something for them that will become more meaniful as times passes!! They both really loved the scrapbook!!!

Brandon hooked his Wii up (he bought it with graduation money) & played it while we were finishing cooing. We bought him another game and gun & controller for Christmas. He also got a book that Tim Tebow partially wrote.

We gave Karen & Jay a 8x10 collage with pis of them and Kason from the first 9 months. I put it in a pretty frame with blue jewels. They loved it!

I took a pic of Moma and Daddy & put it in a frame & also a pic of their two cocker spaniels- Lucy & Sawyer & put it in a fram & gave them that as their present. They really liked it!

Money really has been tight this year so Chuckie and I didn’t switch presents this year. We were both in agreement to this. This is the first time in 21 years that this has happened! It really did stink having to do this, but yet was worth it if it meant having money to do for other people!

We had an abundance in food! We are all so blessed in what all we have.


Here's my youngest son & I {Brandon}...my sweetheart!



Brandon & his Aunt Karen which is my sweet sister.
