The Christmas Outfit


My boys were born within 2 weeks of being 2 years apart. One would assume it would work out perfectly for hand-me-downs. So one would assume. One would be wrong to assume this. However, I saved this outfit from Gus' 1st Christmas 2 years ago, so I made Bo wear it. It's just awful from the waist down! It fits like Daddy's Under Armour!!!
(and check out the difference in their HAIR!!!!!!)

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Pleasant Grove Christmas Caroling

Many of us went Christmas caroling this past Sunday night. We went around New Hope and sang to our usual houses...Bea, Doyle, Tommy, Glenda Carol, Diane and Don, Barbara, Lois, Mamaw, Granny, Pat and Coonie. Coonie was actually in the hospital and Pat wasn't home, but we tried! Mamaw had fresh baked chocolate chips cookies for us and Barbara had some candy for the kids. Bodee stayed behind at Granny and Pa's. He fell out after the birthday party so he just stayed behind. Gus had a good time. He looked so cute in his new overalls and boots from Papaw. Below are a few snaps I got at our last stop.

Ladies' Auxilary Christmas Party




We had our annual Christmas party at the Fish Nest. Everyone was there...Melissa, Carrie Jo, Brenda, Ethel, Judy and Beverly. After stuffing ourselves, we had our ornament exchange. I ended up with Mel's snowglobe one. It had a cross in the middle with John 3:16 written underneat! BE-A-U-TIFUL!!! I think Beverly got mine. It said "JOY" and in the "O" was a manger scene. Good times!

Meeting with Santa Claus


This was Bodee's first time to meet Santa and Gus' first time to like it!! Soon as we walked up and saw him Gus wanted to sit in his lap! Bo wasn't scared either; as the picture shows he just stared at him. We had family pics this morning with Kelly so I was afraid they would be about pictured out. What does Gus want for Christmas? A river.
