Key West

Good news...there are pictures from Key West.  Hooray.  I have to give all the picture credit to Becca.  I didn't have a camera.  

an evening walk to see the sunset -- oh, i how i love this family!

Matthew and Paige's rehearsal dinner.  This photo does not do the house or backyard justice.  It was magical!

ready for the wedding

there's our handsome groom....matthew.  he's a cousin who we think of as more of a brother.  

The entire week was such fun.  We ate out, stayed out late (not as late as everyone else, but late for us), slept in, laid by the pool, read books, and spent priceless time with our dear family.

She's a branchy one

My children were on a very important mission.  Super Hero capes were necessary!  We needed to find a beautiful, fat tree to take home with us!  

Last year we ended up with a tree so fat and tall, that we had to pretty much put it in the middle of the living room.  So, this year I really tried to remember that the biggest tree I could find wouldn't actually fit in our house....details, details.

After we chose several trees that Corbin laughed at and then demonstrated how they were entirely too big....we found this one.  I just love her!  

Sporting their new Christmas pajamas

She's not fat, she's just branchy!!  Perfect, I say, perfect! 

c'mon now.....come.on!  

Christmas Cheer

Being out of town for two weeks set us more than a little behind on getting decorated for Christmas.  Last Friday, I.was.ready.  No tree, no boxes down from the attic...but, that didn't stop me.  I went to the store for the essentials....reindeer antlers, hot chocolate, marshmallows popcorn, and chocolate.  Clearly, the essentials.  We set up an afternoon movie....Rudolph, of course.  

Yep, Christmas has begun!! Who needs a tree?  

Anna Corbin enjoyed "fighting" antlers with Annie.  Good times!  :o)

Thanksgiving 2012

We spent Thanksgiving with Corbin's family in FL.  I can't believe I don't have more pictures.  It was a wonderful time!  Gigi hosted over 30 folks for 3 days worth of meals and fun.  She is an incredible hostess!!  The kids had a great time eating and playing!  

The Graves Families!  

Cousins - - the girls are in outfits made by Gigi

Thanks Lynn Soon Scruggs for the great pictures!

After Thanksgiving Chesson and Anna Corbin spent 6 days with Gigi and G'daddy while Corbin and I went to Key West for a wedding.  ALL of us had a wonderful time!!!

Thank you Betty Ann and Holt!!!  Y'all are AMAZING!!

Community Part 2

Who remembers this post? Yep, yep it happened!!  It was as awesome as I'd hoped it would be.  I'm not sure that we were funny, but we sure did have fun!

this pretty much sums up their excitement, no one can take their eyes off of their loot!
