Fun and Busy Saturday!!

I had been looking forward to this past Saturday for awhile! I knew it was going to be busy, but I love to be busy when it is fun! Saturday morning we started with a brunch for my soon to be sister in law. Sarah and Brett are getting married in June, but I thought it would be fun to have a Christmas Brunch to get her started on Christmas decorations!

The beautiful Bride to be!

The next "to do" on the list was preparing baskets with several ladies from church. Several people were involved in making this happen from giving money, putting the baskets together, and delivering the baskets. This was such a great idea, thanks goes to Angela and Amber for getting it all together!

The Night Cap, was a trip to the VBCC to watch Disney Princess on Ice with our little princess, Anna Beth! We tagged along with Matt, Angela, and AB and I have to admit I might have enjoyed the show just as much as Anna Beth!!

O' Christmas Tree

This is my favorite time of year! I love all the pretty lights, the music, red and green everywhere! The Santas, excited kids, family and friend get together. I really just love everything about it. This year is a little extra special for Al and I since it is our first Christmas in our new house. We don;t have a lot of decorations yet, but for now I wanted to post a few that we have done. I am especially happy with my tree. You can't see it very well in this picture, but I love it. My mom will be here tomorrow night to make everything else look good!!!

I love my Houndstooth Santa!!

State XC Meet!

This post is to brag on my cousin Sam Lawson and he awesome year of Cross Country! He is a 7th grader at Brooks High School and began this year running with the Junior Varsity team. He did so awesome that after the JV season was over he was pulled up the Varsity team to run with them. Today they ran in the State Tournament in Moulton at the Jesse Owens park. He did so good, out of 7 7th graders running in 4A he came in 4th and he came in 83rd out of 138 runners in the entire classification. I am so proud of him and can't wait to watch him again soon!

This is Sam, his younger brothers (Chase and Taylor) and myself after the run!

Congratulations Brooks XC!!

Halloween 2010

Halloween and Trick or Treating has always been a favorite of mine! This year was so fun, we actually went trick or treating around a neighborhood with Matt, Angela, AB, Samuel, Jay, Alicia, Bryson, and Kynsley. They loved it!! It was so cute watching them saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you". My favorite part was watching AB keep reaching in one ladies bowl of candy that had told them to just get what they wanted, well AB obviously wanted a lot of different things! It was too cute!

Halloween Scavenger Hunt!

Last Sunday we decided to have a Halloween Scavenger Hunt. Alicia, Angela, and I had been planning this party for several weeks. We were able to come up with a few good clues to different places around town. We are so happy with how everything turned out and I think everyone had a great time!
